This is my first tank and has been in operation for just about 1 year. The tank is an Aquatop 24 gallon ECO series package which I bought at my LFS. I am using the stock Aquatop skimmer, filters, pumps and lighting and it has worked well so far.
I am having an interesting time and learning a lot.
Fish:
Pajama Cardinal, Royal Gramma, Yellow-tailed Blue Damsel, Ocellarius Clown.
had: Orange FireFish (disappeared), Bicolor Blenny (destroyed by accident)
Inverts:
Turbo Snails (3), Hermit Crabs (3), Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
Corals:
Green Stars, Zoanthids (4), Red Corralimorphs, Orange Ricordia (now Green), Open Brain Coral (3), Chalice, Monitipora
I exchange 5 gallons of water (bought from my LFZ) weekly. I monitor water chemistry using an API Master Reef Test kit.
Currently I have a low pH (8.0 or less) and high Alkalinity (15 dKh) which I am attempting to correct with a BRS CO2 Scrubber. In 5 days, not much effect.
