I decided to make my first journal on reef2reef. I am currently almost 4 weeks into the build of my very first reef tank. Have had freshwater for years, but reefing is a completely different animal with a very steep learning curve. But here is my current tank:
Red Sea nano 20G with reefled50
Tunze 9001dc skimmer
Jebao dow10 cirkulation
Tunze ato
My plan for this tank is pretty ordinary with a pair of clown fish, maybe a wrasse or blenny.
As for corals the initial plan would be
- blastomussa
- euphyllia (frogspawn, hammer and Maybe torch)
- acans
- gsp
- rico's
So in a nutshell lps and softies. Not ready to even think about sps. Just want something relatively easy to manager. Plan is to fill up with smaller frags and build from there.
I am planning to run Triton 'other method' as i do not have refugium. But that will come when i start to add corals.
So far i have completed my nitrogen cycle with amonia and nitrite at 0 for the past few days, but my nitrate is through the roof. Done a few 25% water changes and today i started vodka dosing in order to get my nitrate under control. So far i have not seen any algea but pretty sure they
will show their ugly face soon enough.
Picture of the tank as of today.
