Game Plan:
I'm going to start off by saying this isn't my first reef tank, but it is my first in probably 5 years. I have found some ideas here and on Facebook, however for some of them its been somewhat difficult to track down specifics on the how to's. My plan is to document as much as possible along the way. Hopefully it will serve as a guide for someone later on, with detailed instructions for each step.
Original Setup:
100% stock Oceanic 8g biocube w/ PC lights (100$ used from LFS)
Black Sand (included)
4 lbs LR (included)
Additions/ Mods:
6 lb LR (7$/lb 42$)
Loc- line return mods (Free- had these parts at work, hence the ugly colors.. ill take it!) Details
Chamber 1-2 flow regulator tab removed (Free DIY)
Chamber 2 media basket (10$ light diffuser) Details
Future Plans:
LEDs in hood (Ordered, will dissect and DIY stay tuned)
MJ900 (Ordered)
Chamber 2 media basket (DIY, possibly order InTank basket later)
Fish Guard for sump (Probably DIY)
Chamber 1 (??? Suggestions?)
Livestock:
TBD
Coral:
Green Star Polyp (not a fan of it, but wife insisted.. hopefully i can keep it on back wall and return line..)
TBD
