So here we have a new reef build, my first ever. Can't wait to see it evolve over time!
Tank: 40gal tall
Filter: Tidal 55 HOB for now (Penn Plax Cascade 700 in transit)
Powerhead(s): 1 Jebao SW4, 1 Jebao SCP-70M (in transit, not in tank currently)
Substrate: ~20 lbs CaribSea Life Rock, 20 lbs CaribSea Arag-Alive Fiji Pink Sand
Lighting: AI Blade Grow 30" (In transit)
Fish: Pair of Clowns coming in Thursday to get cycled.
Still a ways away from adding coral, but I've picked a few starters thus far including GSP and a couple Zoas to get me going. My plan is to get these to take off, then upgrade lighting for some more advanced species once I've got a better idea what I'm doing. Longer term I'm looking to add various LPS and SPS more toward the center of the tank, and possibly a BTA for the Clownies. I will also be adding various utilitarian fish to keep biodiversity high.
Hope everyone enjoys, and I'll post more pics as we go!
Note: This picture was taken roughly 4 hrs after sand had been added, and I used the basic hood light that came with the tank for the picture as the room is rather dark. Light is not on, only for the photo.
