Hello everyone, im new to reef2reef and just wanted to give you guys some info on my setup. I have a 47gallon bow front with a 10 gallon sump. The sump currently has no baffels but im planning on changing that soon.
Sump:
- inflow to filter sock
- Outflow via Rio+ 2100 (might upgrade for more gph)
- two little fishies reactor with phosban
- 2 lbs of ceramic rings
- chemipure elite 6.5 oz bag
- activated carbon ~6oz in fine mesh bag
- Macro Aqua M-50 mini Hang-on protein skimmer (rated for 60 gallon; 238gph)
- ATO
Display:
- 2x Kessil Tuna Blue A160WE on the Kessil controller
- 2x Sun JVP series powerhead (530gph each)
- Hydor Smart Wave pump controller (alternating pumps at 15 second intervals)
- Heater set to 76 degrees F (dont know the brand it was handed down to me by my dad)
- Automatic fish feeder (Spectrum pellets)
Livestock (looking to add more)
- occellaris clown
- Watchman Goby
- scooter Blenny
- Arrow Crab
- 5 atrea snails
- 5 trochus snails
- 20 cerith snails
- 5 nassarius snails
Corals ( I buy frags I like to watch then grow)
- GSP colony
- Blastomussa Merletti (started with 2 heads)
- Assortment of Zoas; scrambled egg, pandora, eagle eye, and some green ones I have no idea what they are
- Kenya tree
- Acan (single head new addition)
- Orange ric
- Green mushrooms
What I feed
- Reef roids target feeding for corala
- mysis/brine target feeding for corals/blenny
- Phyto Feast live plankton (thinking about growing my own culture kn the future along with pods)
Chemicals
- BRS part A and B (ordering doser soon)
Water
- BRS RODI filter
- Red Sea Pro salt
Test kits
- API nitrate, phosphate, calcium
- Hanna dKH (~9)
- Refractometer for salinity (1.026)
Photos to follow: the tank has an algae outbreak right now so pardon its condition. I just graduated from a doctoral program and the tank had gone relatively neglected for 3 years and now im dealing with the consequences. Hopefully with the reef2reef community I can get it up to speed. Any advice on things to change or add to my setup will be appreciated.
