Hey Reef2Reef,
I've been a long time follower of this forum and always enjoyed coming on here to see everyone's tanks. I am in love with my tank but I can never get it right or build a tank that makes my little heart happy. Yes I am one of those people that rushed in and now I kinda regret the decision I made .
Here is where I am:
I have a 20 Gallon nano tank with 5 fish (looking to give one up to keep it at 4)
- Baby blue tang (I know I'll have to get rid of her when she gets bigger)
- Clown fish
- Yellow goby
- Six Line wrasse
- Bi-color blenny
I have a waterbox 20 AIO, AI prime 16HD,Nero 3, a 50w heater from petco, an ATO system and etc.
For filter material, I am using an Intank Chamber:
- 2 inch premium filter floss
- 8 Biocubes
- Activated carbon (Smaller grains)
- Protein skimmer (Cheap one but its the only one I can get to fit but doesn't work well)Dosing:
2ML Reef Code B daily
2ML Reef Code A weekly
Water changes:
5 gallons monthly
Topoff with RO water from the LFS
I have always had trouble keeping my coral alive and I always put blame on my light. Softies like leathers and zoas/poly do well and the xenia does really well and have a lot of growth. I can't grow any monti or any SPS. I am not sure what I am missing.
What I would like to do:
- Build a new layout of rocks (I don't know if I can start over with base rock or use the current rock I have in place)
- Reduce the amount of corals I have to give it a more intentional look
- Reduce the tank mates by getting rid of the bi-color blenny (open to trades if anyone wants one)
Here is where I need help:
I'd like the tank to really sparkle, I've seen so many other tanks that look beautiful and wonder why mine doesn't
Provide a thriving environment for all my corals to grow and flourish
Super clear water no particles floating
Any help would be appreciated, I've attached photos for reference.
