Andre's 68g tank!

[Andre.nicolau]

Hello guys! I have a new tank that I would like to show to you! I am new in this hobby (started last year).

This is a 260 liters tank. The display is 70cmX50cmX60cm and the sump completes the 260 liters. I had put water in it on april 1st, which means it is 2 months old.

My equipment list is:
Vertex alpha omega 150 skimmer
2 TLF phosban 150 (one running phosphate remover and the other BioPellets
2 vortech MP10wES
1 ecotech radion G3
1 reefoctopus calcium reactor

Currently I only have fishes on my tank, I will wait untill next month to start with some corals. I have one clownfish, one pseudochromis bali, two regular firefish and one purple firefish.

My parameters are:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 1 ppm
Phosphate: 0.08
Calcium: 350
Alk: 9.8
Mg: 1120

I forgot to tell you I live in Brazil! I will travel to the US later this month, so be free to help me improve my tank with any suggestions of equipment (to make my shopping list) and, mainly, opinions about anything.

Hope you enjoy!

good tank, keep up the good work, and i would recommend to look into small wrasse species (wrasse lover) , they can be colorful and peacful while serving an important purpose in the tank

 

[Andre.nicolau]

Thank you! I am thinking about the naoko wrasse, anyother small that can you suggest?? I heard that it is better to put other species before wrasses, is that correct??
