Hey everyone! Getting back into saltwater after a year and a half break! I just bought a used waterbox 35.2 I believe it’s the old version because the width is much more shallow than the new one but regardless I’m happy with the purchase for the most part! I’ll be posting a lot and talking about the process and how it’s going so I’d love for your guys input and following along my journey! I wanted to get the waterbox 65.4 but my landlord said it was too big for the appartment and he thought it would fall through the floor lol, so that’s why I have some overkill equipment!
Tank equipment:
- AI prime 16hd have two but using one for now until I figure out what skimmer I want to use
- mighty jet dc pump
- 300w scuba heater
- Carrib sea life rock about 25 lb
- Carrib sea Fiji pink sand 20lb
- deciding on the skimmer I have a 9004 non dc model and a 9001dc unsure if it still works from years ago
- tunze osmolator 3 ATO
- brs eggcrate for under rocks
- brs super glue to hold the rocks together
- waterbox medium magnet scraper which is way overkill so I’m getting the smaller one because it literally shakes the tank when I use it and I already scratched the front glass![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I’ll update more tonight after I’m done with work just figured I’d post it up and start to get the thread going! I started the cycle 5/12/24 using dr Tim’s ammonia and dr Tim’s one and only nitrifying bacteria!
