Yes you read that right. Floss. It’s what keeps my T5s hanging, but more on that later.
This is my build thread for my JBJ 45 mix reef tank, with a heavy focus on SPS. I started reefing out of my college dorm room which, despite not allowing rice cookers, was totally fine with a 20 gallon long salt water tank for some reason. I think the room inspectors didn’t *technically* have any guidelines against it, so they allowed it.
This later was joined by a 20g sump when I moved into my first apartment while still in college, and then promptly followed by a complete tank crash due to a breaker being flipped while I was away for about week.
That gave me a good excuse to upgrade to a JBJ45 as I left college.
Here’s my equipment list:
Light: Radion XR30 gen 3 + two Amazon T5 fixtures
Flow: MP10 + Jebao OW10
Doser: Kalkwasser with a BRS 1.1mls per min doser and a Jebao 4 head doser for 2 part
Tank: JBJ45
ATO: Tunze Nano
Return pump: Sicce Syncra Nano
Skimmer: AquaMaxx HOB
Alk Checker: KHG Alkalinity monitor
Here’s the Tank when I first set it up:
And here is the most recent FTS. (I don’t take many FTS, I like my macros. I’ll try and get a better one later)
My tank levels:
KH: 8.5
Calcium: 450
MG: 1450
Phos: 0.1 (but I try to keep it a bit lower)
Nitrate: 10
