Hi all,
this is my first tank. I set it up in August and so far it seems to have been going well. My budget is limited so I have kept most of the stock items. I am running a AI Nero 3 pump to create some additional flow. I also run a bag of chemipure elite that I change out every 3 months.
I dose 2ml of Alkalinity 3x per week, and 1 drop of iodine once per week. Water change happens every 2 weeks and it’s around 1.5 - 2 gallons. Lights go on at 2pm and off at 9pm daily.
Here are the equipment details of my tank.
1. Lighting - stock light
2. Filtration - stock sponge plus Chemipure Elite bag
3. Return Pump - stock
4. Wavemaker - AI Nero 3
5. Heater - don't recall but it enough to get the job done.
6. Thermometer - Digital thermometer
Livestock Details:
1. Clownfish x 2
2. Watchman Goby
3. Azure Damselfish
4. Cleaner Shrimp
5. Pistol Shrimp
6. Sally Lightfoot Crab
7. Emerald Crab (recently deceased)
8. Nassarias Snails x 3
9. Astrea Snails x 2
10. Hermit Crabs x 2
11. Sand Conch
Corals:
1. Branching Hammer Coral
2. Trumpet Coral - Kryptonite
3. Toadstool
4. Lightning Green Lime Mushroom
5. Duncan
6. Assorted Zoanthids - roughly 14 different kinds
7. Pulsing Xenia
