So I have been in the hobby for almost a year now. Talked the wife into letting me get a second tank and finally decided on the jbj 30. I've learned most of what I know from the forum so I thought I would share my experience. Will post a sort of timeline to date and then I'll add to it.
Equipment list
JBJ rl30
Custom Stand
2 Hydor Nano 425 powerheads
FishNeedIt T5 4 bulb light fixture
Tunze Nano ATO
Hydor Slim Skim Nano
I had the rock lying around. A friend of mine had torn down his tank and sent them my way.
Two days later I had the water mixed and got my sand.
Finally cleared up and got the cycle started.
I upgraded the return pumps to Hydor Centrifugal 300gph pumps and upgraded lights to an AI Nano.
I had used water from my established 40b to help kickstart the cycle. After two weeks I had had my diatom bloom and began seeing hair algae growth. So I picked up a few snails and hermits. And I decided to pick up a pair of clowns.
I'll try a get a pick of them to post in the morning. I hope to add some easy corals in the next couple of weeks.
