🐠🪸 My First Marine Aquarium – DIY Reef Project

My first marine aquarium, now running for 6 months! I’m learning everything on my own and personally designed and built the sump, modified the cabinet, and installed the entire electrical system myself, including internal lighting, three protected power outlets, circuit breakers and an electricity consumption monitor.

Equipment includes two AI Hydra 32 HD lights, a Bubble Magus skimmer, Jebao pumps, a 100 W heater, refugium, bubble trap, DIY automatic top-off and sensors, plus 35–40 kg of live rock.

Currently home to 16–17 fish, crabs, a shrimp, a sea urchin and snails.

🌊 My dream is to create a beautiful reef full of colorful corals. I’m still learning, so any advice is welcome! 🙏🪸

Did I hear someone say there were snacks up here?

Would anyone be able to tell me what this is growing on this live rock? Got it for free but dont want to put it into my display tank if this stuff is a nuisance. Its pretty stiff, kinda like brush bristles or something
