This will be my first reef tank. I have already ordered the IM AIO 50g Lagoon, but won’t get it until late November. So, I’m obsessively planning the build. This will be a mixed reef, starting with a few fish and adding some LPS and possible BTA once established. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.
IM AIO 50g Lagoon
Stock return pump
IM skimmer - midsize
IM filter basket with floss, carbon, and MarinePure spheres
Current USA 2x 24in IC pro lights with Loop controller
Current USA 2x 1050 eFlux Wavemaker with module for Loop
Hygger 200w heater with digital thermometer
40 lb dry rock - Marco or Addictive Reef Keeping
40 lb live sand - Caribsea Pink Fiji
Duetto ATO
Red Sea test kit
Instant Ocean salt
Aquatic Life 4-stage RO/DI 75gpd
I’ll do a fish less cycle with Dr Tim’s one and only and dose Fritz ammonia. Once cycled, will start with 2 Ocellaris Clowns and small CUC from TCM(since I don’t have a q tank set up). Then add watchman goby and pistol shrimp next. Haven’t decided on other livestock beyond that.
What am I missing???
Thanks in advance!
