Beginning of August I received my long expected RS reefer 350, but due to holidays I wasn't able to start it until end of August. Here is the story of my tank - hope you will learn from my mistakes.
As hardware, here is what I have until now:
- Skimmer - Bubble Magus Curve 7
- Return pump - Jebao DCT-4000 ECO
- 1 x ATI/Jebao Stream Pump RW-8
I added 14 kg of dried fine sand + 1 kg of live sand from my current tank.
Rocks - around 30 kg of dried rocks + 1 piece (1-1.5 kg) of rock from my existing tank.
I started from day 1 with RedSea Marine care program and today is already day 15.
So, here is my tank ugly brown algae everywhere, but on the right path.
For rock structure, this is the base rock only - I plan for the future to add (if I will see) beautiful pieces of rock, coral skeletons or even some artificial pillars. But for the moment I am happy with the look of it.
I am using for the moment a single LED engine (120W), but will add 2 more with some modifications on the original design.
This week-end I made a water change and added 10 snails, 2 very small ocellaris ( 2.5cm) and a green chromis at same size. After 3 days, they are doing great.
