That's pretty awesome! How do you like that skimmer? I've been looking into as well for my new tank. 

What kind of flow do you have in the tank and how does the cardinal do?

It's well-stocked for sure, hehe.

That's a cool little set up! Love that you're introducing the kid to reef keeping too.

Very nice set up! 

Hello, 

I just signed up for pnwmas. I used to live in San Diego a while back when I got into this hobby. I kept a 75 gallon reef tank for about 3 years. Then I moved 3 times in one year and I never got a chance to set up another tank. I'm currently hopping back into the hobby with an old "Solana 34g" all-in-one tank. I'm still waiting for some parts to come in the mail but I hope to be up and running in a few weeks. I don't intend to keep a lot of stuff. For now my plan is to have a mated pair of clowns, a rose bubble tip anemone, and some sps. 

I'm actually trying to find a smaller (narrower) skimmer as well since I have a cpr aeroforce and it's butting against the refugium light I have installed. Other than the tank and the skimmer, I have a Radion x30w pro light fixture, two MP10w of which I'll likely only use one, an LED light to grow chaeto, media bags and carbon, an RODI unit, and a 550gph return pump. Plus all the usual test kits and maintenance tools. I'm excited to get back into the hobby but also a little frustrated with all the parts I am still missing, hehe.
