Chuck’s reef

Good morning. Glad to be part of this site. I am setting up an innovative marine 40L. So looking forward to getting back into the hobby. Had a reef tank for many years but has been about 10 years since I’ve had one. Wow have things changed. Should have the tank in about two weeks. Am messing with rock scape and would love some opinions on what you think. Thank you in advance to all.

Hi, congrats on the journey, it’s always exciting! Scape looks good, just a couple of considerations ….

1). Generally, you want the scape no higher thanthan 50% of the height of your tank. Reason being you wanna leave room for your corals to grow. (I made the same mistake building my scape too high.)

2) The bowl structure underneath the left arch is gonna require good flow to hit it to prevent detritus buildup, or a strong army of .

Have fun, will be following along!

Thank you for the advice. The structure is 9 inches tall the tank is 13. Was going by the 70% rule. Have two Nero three wave makers. Hope that works. Will do a good clean up crew once cycled. Think that will be o.k. ?

Welcome to R2R.
I’d wait a bit before going with a CUC right after cycle as there’s likely, not enough food to sustain them yet.

Wait till you have something to clean up and then just a few.

Otherwise many will die and help the uglies, be ugly.

Enjoy the journey, seek balance, sustainably and stability in the beginning.

BTW, real nice choice in displays.

Love the IM product.
