Hello,
Welcome to this thread!
I started this tank back in February of 2022, so it's still relatively young, going on 5 months now. It was originally a freshwater Deep Gravel Bed tank for some cichlids that I eventually got fed up with and donated to a local hobbyist so I could start over as a reef. This has been a consistent work in progress, but here are the statistics.
Photos to come soon.
You can follow daily shorts of this reef and my 15g AIO on my shorts channel, 16 Seconds of Reef.
29g Vintage tank on the original hardwood stand
--Topless
Filtration :
1. UV Sterilizer with Sicche Syncha Silent 1.5 Pump (will update specifics when I get to it)
2. Tidal 110 HOB running CerMedia MarinePure 1.5" Bioballs -- One Gallon, Chemipure Blue, and polyfill changed weekly
3. AquaClear 70 HOB running CerMedia MarinePure 1.5" Bioballs -- Remainder of what wouldn't fit in the Tidal 110, plus polyfill changed weekly
4. 45lbs of Aquaforest dry rock
Heating:
1. Aquatop 400W titanium Heater
2. Aquatop 300W Titanium Heater (iirc)
3. Inkbird Bluetooth/wifi hooked up to both heaters and set at 78.5 degrees F
Flow:
1. Jebao SLW-10 at max flow pulsed to tank width for wave action (Probably around 550 GPH since it's off half the time)
2. Sicche Voyager Nano 2000 (530 GPH)
3. Flow from both HOBS (unknown after filtration but around 1000 GPH based on Manuals)
4. Flow from Synchra 1.5 on max flow thorugh UV sterilizer ( 700ish GPH)
Total Minimum Flow: 1,780 GPH
Total Predicted Flow: 2,350 GPH
Dosing:
Kamoer X1 bluetooth Dosing 5ml All for Reef Daily( 0.4ml doses 12x/daily)
Lights:
Nicrew HyperReef 150w, 80% Blue 20% White, 10 hour Cycle

Phyto Dosing 4 oz weekly
Tisbe Copepod Dosing 4 oz weekly
Corals:

A random acan I moved to the 15g AIO startup which I will post about soon.
Some other random Acros I don't remember the name of.
Monthly Water change of 30%
Salinity: 35ppt
Alkalinity: 10
Calcium: 410ish usually ( I test once a week)
Magnesium: 1300ish ( I don't test often)
Will update pH, Phosphorus, Nitrite, Nitrate on next test.
