So after about six years of maintaining planted and brackish tanks I feel it is time to now step into the world of reefing.
About three years ago I picked up a Biocube 32 during Black Friday and it sat in my basement until Black Friday of 2020. Now it is time to actually use it.
It has been setup for 23 days at this point and is mostly cycled using Fritz 900 and some Rephashys food cubes which take a long time to fully break down.
It is a pretty standard setup with the following.
Coralife Stand
Stock Light
Eheim Heater
InTank Media Basket
15lbs Real Reef Rock
15lbs live sand, mix of pink and aragonite
Seachem Matrix to up "live rock" weight
Fritz RPM because the LFS suggested it and people seem to really like it
A RODI setup and a QT tank and a bunch of other tools and such.
As for the rock work, it isn't a traditional formation style, but it reminds me a lot of something I saw when snorkeling in Mexico.
A day or so after I set it up.
After cleaning up some of the wiring with a proper individually switched surge protector. Starting to look a bit ugly.
And its current state, getting uglier.
I have some corals coming from the recent live sale at Zoanthids.com which will be spending a bit of time in the QT tank before going in and that will be my next update more than likely.
I look forward to being a part of this forum and the knowledge I will gain here.
