I’ve been reefing for a very long time. Last November after a few year break, I started up a 75 gallon. This was the first time I used dry rock, dry sand. (Zero stars..would not recommend!) The first few months were glorious, but then came all the uglies. First it was cyano like I’ve never seen before blanketing every surface of the tank and it was unstoppable. Then, the toughest was a good 4 month battle with two different types of dinos. The last round was with Coolia which resulted in a lot of coral death. While trying to eliminate the dinos by bringing up the nutrients, I had an explosion of gha. I’ve got a handle on that now and seem to have a happy little ecosystem. So what did I do?
Today, I ordered the Innovative Marine Nuvo 170 EXT!! It will be months before it comes in. Starting this tank won’t be as tough, but I’ll still need more rock and sand. Therefore, I have a lot of decisions to make like whether to give Tampa Bay Saltwater a try and what equipment I want to give a go this time around.
Live, learn and come out stronger!!! I’m looking forward to sharing my build with y’all!
