love your brackish set up,what kind of lighting and filtration do you use,im setting up a tank at the moment,any tips would be much appreciated,

I have 2 pair of coralife mariner lights. It gives them their true colors. For the filtration you can use anything from hang on or overflow filters. Hang on's too much work so i used overflow set up and plus it filters great. Right now i have mangroves plants on my bottom tank as an additional bio filters, they are superb. Use base and live rocks if you're going for brackish or just use crush corals as subtrates. if you want crystal clear water use a uv sterilizer or mangrove plants.
