Happy to be getting back into the hobby after about a year off that started with a move across town/ renovation. I have never tried with a smaller tank and am looking forward to the challenge. My favorite corals to grow are acros so I hope I can get a decent sps reef going in due time.
Tank came in today but am waiting on countertop to be done at Lowe’s before I can set it up.
Here’s where I am at so far:
Equipment:
IM 25 tank
Random shaker cabinet with some modification
Mighty Jet return pump
Reef Breeders Photon V2+ Light
Reef Breeders Prism ATO
Hygger powerhead
Substrate:
Marco dry rock. 1 small base, 1 bag of nano shelf, a couple pounds from lfs
Aragalive sand 10lb (in with the gobies)
Tropic Eden Reef Flake 30lbs
Marine Pure Spheres
Livestock:
Pair wheelers shrimp gobies
2 cerith, 1 trochus, 2 astrea, 1 nassarius
Spheres have been cycling with quikcycl and Microbacter XLM for 2 months in an old 20 gal. Gobies have been with me for a month.
My rock scape was created using the rock powder and thin glue method.
Topics and products in this build: Dinos, UV, Ostreopsis, All for Reef, NeoNitro, NeoPhos, Microbacter7, LRS Reed Frezy, Rods, Egg Brew, Marco Rock, GlueMasters, NLS, Battlecorals, Divers Den, POTO, ReefBreeders, Prisim ATO.
