Hi all,

I’m new here and wanted to introduce my first reef! This is the tank that my cousin helped me set up and stock for the past 2 months. I’ve never had an aquarium before, but he’s been keeping nano reefs since 2019. He helped me start the tank by sourcing all of the equipment, setting up the system, and consulting on stocking.

We do weekly 1-gallon water changes, and the Marineland contour has an InTank media basket in the rear that houses mature bio media (he also helped me cook live rock from an LFS’s sump). I have a Sicce Jolly heater, but I’ll be looking for something with a built-in thermometer and controller. Illuminating the tank is a Kessil A80.

It’s stocked with a small ocellaris clown, a couple crabs, a couple snails, and the following corals:
- GSP
- Pulsing Xenia
- Tequila Sunrise Mushrooms
- Fruit Loops Zoas
- Grand Master Krak
- White Goniopora with Green Tips
- Pink Zoas
- Eagle Eye Zoas
- Blue/Green Frogspawn
- Hologram Hammer
- OG Bounce (a temporary visitor as it belongs to my cousin)
Looks like you got a great start congratulations !
Who hoo so stoaked
