Being in an apartment, I can’t have a super huge tank like I dream of. Biggest I could get away with is a 75, but I think I should keep working on my 40.
I’ve had this tank up for over a year now and it’s been a ride. Between a diatom, dino and cyano bloom at the same time and GHA, it’s been hard to maintain it. But I’ve finally beaten them back. And with the addition of a diamond watchman goby, my sand is cleaner than ever. I still have some spots of algae on my glass, but that’s gonna happen.
It’s a 40GAL breeder running a Fluval 407 canister filter, noopsyche k7 pro II 96w light and a Fluval marine 32 or 36w light. Circulation is provided by a Red Sea RS-25 gyre. No protein skimmer or sump due to space. I’ve spent these last few weeks after a massive alkalinity spike restoring the tank after a bloom of dino and cyano. I think the only thing I need to do now is just dial in my lights.
