This will be my first reef tank and I don't want to rush it. I hope that I can have it ready for the competition but I would rather take it slow than have a bunch of dead fish and coral. Any advice that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.

Current Specs:

  • 8.7 gallon Aquatop bowfront aquarium
  • Aquaclear 50 HOB filter used as refugium
  • 9W PC light for the refuguim
  • 100w heater
  • 15 Lbs of live sand
  • 10 Lbs of pre-cured Indonesian live rock

Equipment Planned:
  • Chinese 165w dimmable full spectrum LED lighting
  • Small wavemaker
Livestock Planned:
  • Bubble tip anemone
  • Percula Clownfish
  • Yasha Goby/Pistol Shrimp
  • Mangrove Tuber
  • Maxima Clam
  • Zoanthids
  • Acanthastrea
  • Maybe some SPS corals
