My Tank Thread
Well, It's Friday night and I'm like a 8 year old on Christmas Eve!
I went to our local frag swap a couple months ago. That was it, I FELL IN LOVE with SPS. I bought a few things and put them in my RSR Nano that I use for QT. Then... I stumbled upon @Battlecorals amazing website. Well it was over for me right then and there. Adam has been great in helping me along with my journey. @Brew12 has helped me out with some of the chemistry questions and my GHL dosers. @Crabs McJones has been a staple in my success from the beginning as well.
For those of you that don't know me, I am a fish disease nerd. I love helping people here at R2R and locally through issues regarding fish diagnosis and treatment. That being said... The major challenge I have faced thus far is keeping acros in a fishless system for 76 day fallow period. Anyway I had been contemplating another tank specifically for Wrasse, then I got bit by the big nasty coral bug. So a new tank dedicated to SPS it is...
I contemplated attempting to add SPS to my 750XXL. Well I quickly came to the realization none of the corals I added to that tank over the last few years have been dipped properly and I have way too many fish that are a risk. I also don't know that I could ever get the chemistry to support SPS due to being slightly overstocked ;Blackeye.
@4FordFamily and @Commander86 are helping me pick up the tank tomorrow!
Here is the system:
Red Sea Reefer 425XL
Apex, with FMK and second energy bar
2 Maxspect 330 gyres/Controller
2 Radion XR30 Pro 4's
Aquatic Life 48" T5 hybrid (4x ATI Blue+)
Ecotech Vectra S2 return
Reef Octo 152S skimmer
Prime HD Fuge light.
Eheim Jager heaters.
GHL 2.1 SA 4 head doser + 4 head slave doser. (Currently in use on nano AKA frag tank)
Fish list:
Chromis (maybe)
CBB (maybe)
Tomini Tang
Pyramid Butterfly
3 Lyretail Anthias females/1 male
Longnose Hawk fish
Orchid Dotty
Pair of storm Clowns
Magnificent Foxface
Azure Damsel (Just to irritate @4FordFamily )
Welcome any suggestions! Pics tomorrow!!!
