My current build, 4 months in:
-16 gallon Biocube with stock lighting plus I added an LED strip to give it a little extra. Haven't done a PAR reading yet.
-Stock pump, added a hydor circulation head
-added a Tunze 6040 power head for circulation
-converted middle chamber into a microfuge with chaeto.
-started with dry rock and live sand
Current live stock
-Pair of Clowns
- 1 Blue Damsel
-1 Duncan
-1 Xenia
-1 Mushroom
-1Zoa colony
-Green star polyp
-1 Tuxedo urchin
-1 emerald crab
-A variety of snails
-1 TIger conch
-some blue legged hermits
The livestock seem to be doing well. The GSP is very tempermental, but some of the posts here suggest it is very hardy, which I am glad to hear. I seen some copepods in my refugium area, but not in the main tank.
I run it at 78 degrees, with lights ramping up to 6 hours of full intensity and back down over 12 hours.
I try to keep salinity at 1.025.
