This summer I got bored and was playing around with some old aquarium stuff I have laying around. My plan is to start a reef aquarium in the fall when I start up the new semester in college, but since I had nothing to do over the summer I wanted to have a little practice before I did this.
This is a 10G tank stocked with everything right out of the ocean, (I live on the coast of Florida).
The tank took about a month to cycle, sand off the beach, rock off the beach, water off the beach (I started making my own water due to an ich infestation). Running chemipure elite, in a HOB filter but pretty much nothing else. All parameters are pretty much 0, Nitrate, Ammonia, etc. and this tank requires no maintenance except for feeding, topoff, and the occasional algae scrubbing. I plan to upgrade to a 30G mixed reef in August, but this has been quite a fun project.
