It's been running for about 2 months so far. We have a cinnamon clown fish, six line wrasse, carpenter's flasher wrasse, Royal Gramma, Purple Firefish, Red firefish, banggai Cardinal, 10 very small hermit crabs, 3 emerald crabs, 4 troncus snails and a cleaner shrimp.
I have a Aquaeon 400gph cannister filter going into two hang on filters. A reef octopus 2000 HOB (went to big probably, but at least I can upgrade easily. Lol) we have a corraline uv sterilizer in line with the canister filter. Has about 60-70lbs of liferock.
We also have 2 ai prime 16hds i got for a steal with a Kessil A80 all with stands (plus more misc) for less than a new 16hd!
Tank has been running 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10ppm Nitrate, 0 phos. Calcium is around 450, ph 8.5, 34.7ppm salinity
We just added our first two corals, a green and purple tip Hammer and a trumpet coral. Both seem to be doing great. We put in oceanmagick photo plankton and have been adding copepods as well.
Also have added a few bottles of coralline algae from algae barn. All tank inhabitants seem to be doing well and loving life. Hopefully it keeps up! I tried to do a lot of research before starting. Here's some pictures!
Also, glad for any advice and criticism, just don't be to hard on us lol!
