Hey all,
I have 3 tanks currently, 2 WaterBox 20 Cubes and a 10 Gallon set up with an Tidal 35 that is holding frags right now and six line wrasse. My current display my first WB 20 is staying as is and is running very well. My other 2 tanks WB 20 and 10G I am going to combine into one 40 breeder. The WB is not really suited for what I am looking to do and neither is the 10G. I was looking to use the WB and the 10G to grow corals out and it just is not enough space. plus I feel the bigger tank will not only add 10 gallons the system making it more stable but gives the freedom of a little more space.
drain out both tanks into buckets with heaters and put the 40 breeder in place of them and fill back up with the water from both tanks. I will go with a shallow sand bed using a 20 lbs bag of fiji pink. Tank inhabitants:
-2 Clowns(20G)
-Watchman Goby(20G)
-Six Line Wrasse (10G)
Filtration:
-Tidal 110 with existing bio media from 20G
-Tidal 35 with existing bio media from 10G'
I will run both filters one on each end of the tank. this will ensure that the bio media from both tanks along with live rock from both will be able to handle bio load which I feel is light for 40B. I wont be adding anything else into the tank. If I do it wont be for some time. This will allow for future ability to take bio media out of 35 and run things like chemi pure gfo or something.
- I will also find a HOB internal skimmer to put on the tank as well to help with nutrient export. If anyone has any recommendations I will consider. I use a Bubble Magus Mini Q in my WB 20 and would like something similar.
