Welcome to Reef2Reef! Glad you're joining us here. Great looking tank! One suggestion I might offer: that window is going to make the algae fight harder.
I agree, it is always nice to see the reef starting to grown and grow.Hey thanks a lot! We really tried to put a lot of thought into how we wanted it to look and flow. We can't wait to get more corals and really start seeing it come alive!
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!
