Due to the generosity of @Corals.com, as well as the all of the votes from our amazing community members on here, (thanks guys!) I was one of the finalists of the Halloween costume contest!
I have to be honest, the gift card is burning a hole in my pocket.... I'm going to curate my 15 gallon, and I'm going to set up a growout/frag tank! (maybe 2...)
Early next year (2026) I have the ability to acquire either: 50/65 gallon waterbox, or 90/100 gallon that needs resealing, so there is a future plan. Moving in with the GF and she has several Freshwater tanks... May use the 90 as a room divide... I'll have to fight for it to be salt
Frag tank 1 plans!
- 1 X 30 Gallon Tank - 12X15X36 - GFs dad had it lying around...
- 2 X AI Prime 16
- 1 X HOB FILTER TBD - ANY THOUGHTS????? Fluval? Tidal?
- 2 X Voyager Nano
- 1 X 75 Ehiem (or maybe 2 25s I have a few)
- 1 X Amazon bargain ATO
- 1 x dosing setup, Kamoer (probably AFR but investigating getting into balling)
Corals I'm planning on:
- Favias
- Leptoseris
- Chalices
- As well as transferring from my 15 gallon
Frag tank 2, this one is going to be only for the mushrooms I have in my 15 gallon and giving them their own home.
- 1 x 10 Gallon
- 1 x Reefbreeders Pico LED
- 1 x Fluval 30
- 1 x 25 Ehiem
- 1 x Amazon bargain ATO
- A bunch of rubble!
No fish for either of them.
Reef crystals salt.
Now here are some questions for those still reading...
I am going to try two types of livestock I haven't tried before..... An Acro and a Bubble Tip Anemone
I think with proper placement, the Acro will be ok in the 30. I'm curious about thoughts on the BTA. If I put it in an acrylic acclimation box in the 30 gallon, do you think it would be ok? I know I would need to feed the BTA but I want to keep the tank as clean as possible... OR would it do ok in the mushroom tank, not sure if the Reefbreeders light would be powerful enough....I also do not NEED the BTA so if people say it's a bad idea I am fine with that judgement
Open to all suggestions
THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THOSE THAT VOTED FOR ME!!!
