Well I figured I share my build. I'm in envy of what I have seen here so far! It's been a while due to life/military but I am able to settle down and embark on my adventure. Please keep in mind I'm a novice and any criticism I'll take and learn from!
Lighting: Kessil a160 w/controller. As of now I have a 12 hour light schedule with my intensity peaking at 20% (slowing acclimating my current livestock to he lights) Have a better light sched? Let me know!
Filter mechanical/bio: 10-15 lbs of live rock. My first chamber I have a aquatic life 115 skimmer held in place with live rock. Second chamber I have 2 filter sponges puregin, phosGuard, seachem matrix and activated carbon. Inspired by Reef Tuze on YouTube. For the return I upgraded to a MJ 1200, notable difference.
CUC: In total I have about 12-20 crabs and snails combined, all purchased from Reef Cleaners. Which I have to say did an amazing job and gave me a bunch extra!
Livestock: A green Chromi/ 2 snowflake clown as of now. A green Monti, Red BTA, green star polyps and some mushrooms. Oh yeah and somewhere in the deep lurks a 4-7 inch bristle worm...
Maintenance: Just a simple 10-15% water change. Weekly water test and I dose Kent Kalkwasser mix with my top off and aquavitro Fuel for my corals.
Future goals: I want to install an overflow in the 3rd chamber to have a sump/refugium. Any ideas?
Here are some pics..... taken from iPhone couldn't locate my camera.
