New to the hobby, excited to see where it takes me. I've had my tank cycled for a little over a month now.
The gear:
- 2 150 watt metal halides - 14k Phoenix bulbs
- DIY auto top off
- Aquaclear 50 HOB filter with media basket
- another HOB filter (not sure of brand) with UV light
- temp controller and heater
- 2 koaralia nanos
I have it all hooked up to an ADJ power strip thats mounted in the stand.
The livestock:
2 black clowns
Green Clown Goby
Firefish
Cleaner Shrimp
Trochus Snail
2 nassarius snails (I havn't had any real algae problems yet)
1 Duncan
1 mushroom
1 trumpet/candy cane
I'm already ready to add more corals, but gotta wait a little bit on that. I have the water change deal down and have been able to keep all the parameters stable so far.
Also added some LED tape lights to my light fixture this past weekend to have a blue light for nighttime viewing. I don't keep them on long, but they make the fluorescents in the corals pop and they were only 25 bucks at Lowes.
