Hello R2R !
I'm setting up a 34 Gallon Solana that I recently purchased, I plan on it being an exotic, or a jaw dropping tank. I have all the money and the skills to do it,
I just need time !
It will be a mixed reef plus NPS, then I want to gradually move towards an SPS dominant tank, but I'm still a little wish-washy as I love all coral, except yellow polyps.
The livestock of the tank ( subject to change ) will be :
1 Royal Gramma
2 skunk clowns + Anemone
1 firefish
1 mandarin ( I know how to care for one. It will be my last fish as well )
1 baby bluestar leopard wrasse, until I move her to my 150 G.
I will be running a 150 watt metal halide but I plan to sell that and switch to a maxspect 10000k nano razor in the future. Oversized skimmer, rated for 65 gallons. Media reactor. 2 hydor koralias on a wavemaker until I get an MP10.
I'm being a bit brave with my livestock, with the NPS and finnicky fish/ coral. I plan on culturing copepods and phytoplankton, so the tank will be fed like crazy with live and frozen food. I'll be doing a 10 gallon water change every 2 weeks or a 5 gallon water change every week. Also plan on going radical and putting in some of that purple kelp, and very small amounts of other ornamental algae to give the tank a very new look. I'm extremely tempted to try a Sea Apple because of their beauty and their challenge, but I think that would be overkill.
Anyways, stay tuned and let me know what you guys think, I'm always open to advice and suggestions. I'll be updating this thread with pictures, videos, and links to my YouTube channel. Thanks !!
