This tank has been around for three or so years in varying tanks (5g, 10g, now the 20), and moved last year from an apartment to my newly built house. Hubby wouldn't let me do a built-in tank.. Sadness!
Here's those pictures you came here for...
Yep, the rocks are new, the old rocks I believe were leeching phosphate... I've had them for close to 7 years, and they were previously in my old predator tank, and before that were in a tank that ran for 10+ years. They were dense and when I hammered some encrusted corals off they crumbled easily... Yuck!The new rocks are from reefcleaners, I soaked them in rodi and scrubbed em, and slowly replaced one rock at a time to minimize all those bad things that can happen.
Equipment-
20g marineland rimless + stand
Dumb wave point LED, Chinese LED fixture on the way
Koraila powerhead
Jebao wp25
Reef Octopus hob skimmer (bh-1000 I think)
GFO in a media bag in a chamber on the skimmer
.2ml vodka daily
Livestock -
Pair ORA snowflake clowns
Scooter blenny
Short spine urchin
Green BTA
Trumpet coral, rehabbing
Duncan coral
Kenya tree
GSP
Green lobo
War coral
Flowerpot coral
Branching hammer
Cup coral
Red monti cap
Favia
Reef cleaners cuc
I do 5 gallon water changes once or twice weekly, vacuum the sand and scrub the rocks. Feed mysis twice a week, omega one micro pellets daily- scooter blenny loves these, and a mix of people seafood whenever we make some for ourselves.
Yay!
