Xiggie's 25% tank

[xiggie]

Hi everyone ,

I've been around this forum for ages ,started my first marine tank like a decade ago and decomed due to unforeseen reasons. Long story cut short , early last year I've decided to restart this challenging, mind boggling, interesting and $$ sucking hobby again.

Started with a 2f sumpless tank and decided it was not enough so went looking for a suitable tank and found a nice setup it came with a chiller and some kewl stuff. Changed some equipment and ended up with these final setup below,

Had this setup for awhile and decided to try Sps , can't really get them to survive except those really hardy one like Birdnest and monti, so I got to this ,
