It's been two years since I took down my last tank. You can see the details of my previous build here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/ghosts-30-gallon-low-maintenance-mixed-reef.420751/
I've decided to reboot, determined not to make some of the mistakes of last time. Here are the lessons learned and goals for this tank:
1. I want it to look better, no cluttered equipment visible hanging behind the corals, no giant black box lights.
2. Live rock is the heart of a reef tank, I will use aquacultured live rock this time in hopes of cutting down on new tank syndrome.
3. I want a mixed reef with high density, that means good nutrient export, and lots of small peaceful inhabitants.
4. This tank will be on my desk, in my bedroom, it must be quiet and hopefully not spill.
Current equipment:
Waterbox Cube 20
AI Prime 16 HD
Tunze Osmolator 3155 ATO
Aquamaxx NF-1 skimmer
I have also ordered a Tunze Recirculation Pump Silence 1073.020 and some soft silicone tubing to replace the stock pump. Already placed an order for 23lbs of live rock from KP Aquatics, it should ship Monday, weather permitting.
