Hello everyone! This will be my first post on R2R and will be all about my first reef tank build! I currently live in a dorm at Iowa State University with a 28g freshwater and a new 20g long saltwater tank. The saltwater has been running for a little over a month, here are some quick specs:
Equipment:
1 x Jager heater
1 x AquaClear 50 HoB filter with Purigen
2 x Hydor Korelia powerheads
1 x Current USA Orbit LED pro (old version, more powerful)
1 x Current USA Orbit LED (new version)
Livestock:
~20lbs Live rock
~20lbs Live sand
1 x Firefish Goby
1 x Coral Banded Shrimp
Hermits, Astreas, and Nassarius for cleanup
The tank is clearly in its early stages but I plan on adding a McCosker's Flasher Wrasse as well as various softies, LPS, and maybe even easy SPS. I'm also a Software Engineering major and am currently working on a tank monitoring and control device that utilizes Amazon's cloud IoT service to remotely monitor and control the tank and give me live updates and notifications. I'll post some more info on that in a new thread eventually.
