Well guess its time to start the build thread. Tank should be here in a week or so.
Cade 600 S2 - 57g Display, 13.5g Sump, 24" Cube.
Sicce Silent 5.0 Return Pump
Nero 3 Wavemaker for Flow
Fuge where the Skimmer section is (No Skimmer on this build). Miracle mud in the bottom with some rock and Chaeto. Then to the 3 media baskets filled with Marine Pure Bio Balls and a slot for Chemi Pure if I need it. This will be Lit by Tunze Eco Chic Refugium Light
AI Hydra 32 For Lighting.
Plans - Going to be a mix reef, Mainly Softies/LPS/Zoa's. No SPS Really (Possibly a birdnest, thats it).
Just went out and Bought an Aqueon 20H Tank for my QT tank. Got an air pump/air stone. Just ordered a HOB Filter/Copper Power/Prazi/ Hanna checker for copper/Heater. All for the QT. Plan on a 62 Day QT. 35 Days of Copper, Then 2 weeks of Prazi, followed by 2 weeks of observation.
I rolled the dice to the gods on my last tank and everything was fine, no real diseases on my fish until I made the mistake of buying from Petco, 1 cardinal introduced brook into my tank and wiped out half my fish. Not making that mistake again. Everything will be QT'ed going into DT.
Plus this will force me to wait on really adding abunch of coral to the tank before its really ready. 60 days per QT and I'm not getting all the fish at once, its going to be months before I start adding coral, so let the tank mature for awhile. Sucks it will take this long, but nature of the hobby.
I'll start posting pics once my orders from BRS come in and I get the QT setup, then I'll make my first fish order. Still very undecided on fish plan as well. Was going to do some type of Firefish (was going helfrichi, but pricing keeps going up, so maybe purple/exquiste) and a carpenter's wrasse was probably going to be my first order and the first 2 fish in the DT once they come out of QT.
Rest of fish stock plan, I have no idea was thinking maybe a trio of barlett's anthias and call it a day.
Thanks for following along!
