Alright so I had another thread documenting my makeshift Nano since January I believe. So much has changed and so much has gone on since then that the tank is completely un-recognizable compared to what it once was. So I wanted to start a new build thread that documents the overhaul of this 10 Gallon reef.
For equiptment we have:
Hydor Korallia: 240GPH Powerhead connected to a custom Atmega EEPROM based relay board to create wave patterns that I can custom program (Using C/C++)
Heater: Still got my preset Tetra 25w heater ! But now is monitored by a separate temperature probe that acts as a backup thermostat so we can avoid overheating. Again programmable and connected to the EEPROM. 78 degrees +/- 0.2 degrees
Filtration: AquaClear 50 running at the lowest speed, with Sponge, Bio-media, and Chemi-pure Blue.
Lighting: Echotech Radion XR30 Pro 9in. Above water surface running at 35% intensity.
For livestock there are:
2 Ocellaris clownfish (basic orange type) I didn't want to go that hardcore on fish as the focus is going to be coral!
Clean up crew is 1 nassirus snail, 1 blue legged hermit, and skunk cleaner shrimp.
And last but not least our corals:
BamBam Zoas
Torch Coral (that is ready to split soon)
Acid wash frogspawn
Cherry Blastomussa
Another random Blasto that I have no idea the ID
Electric green Clove polyps
Some massive paly's that I don't know the ID
Green star polyps
Mushroom (possibly orange crush?)
Rainbow Acans from WWC
Dosing just Alk/calcium right now using b-ionic 2 Part.
I plan on putting some SPS in this tank within the next month or two so stay tuned for some Acro to complete this mixed reef masterpiece!
