Well, not that there seems to be a lot of saltwater people here these days, but I wanted to share my 25 gallon tall tank build with 5 gallon sump/refugium. I have recently added an Eshopps PF300 overflow, Aquatic Life 115 Mini skimmer, Jebao OW25 wavemaker and Current USA Orbit Marine LED lighting.
I finally got everything plumbed in and working the way I want it to. Still battling some algae, but it is slowly going away.
Current stocking is:
CUC
2 peppermint shrimp
1 fire shrimp
1 striped pistol shrimp
1 yellow watchman goby
1 blue yellow tail damsel
2 clownfish (1 orange oscillaris and 1 black davinci)
1 green mandarin dragonet
some assorted soft and LPS corals
Might want to move that fuge light down closer to the water to avoid growing algae in that skimmer or other chambers
