I have had a few reefs in the past but haven’t been super patient with stocking and I probably overloaded them too fast which lead to early declines. Over the past few months I have gotten a lot better at hold off and letting my freshwater tanks sit for a while and really think about what I want to do with them before stocking and such.
This brings up my question, I have a 24” x 20” x 7” tank that is around 16 gallons. I have the heater, ATO, and a Kessil A80 for a tank. I don’t have a tank of room in my dorm this year, I would say maybe a space of around 12-14” cubed on my desk. I could make a stand for the tank I have but then I won’t have room for my mini fridge or TV. I think I might be answering my own question here but my LFS has a waterbox 10 cube that sounds perfect for my situation. I sort of have an idea on what I would put in it too.
The only reason I don’t think the 24” x 20” would work is that moving it would be harder and with a bigger tank I would need to spend more money on like sand, rock, filter, and probably another A80. So I honestly think I will just end up getting the Waterbox 10.
Ideally I would like a euphyllia (I know they changed genus) dominated tank, but I keep hearing about brown jelly disease and it makes me hesitant to go this route. Is brown jelly really super common?
