I have had my 45G reef tank set up for about 3 months then I wanted a bigger tank (90 gallons), so it is now about 6 months old! I have an awesome policipora, a couple montis of different phenotypes, a big neon green kenya, bubble, pulsing xenia (on a rock of course!), GSP (For some reason has never done so well), 2 Ricordeas (one of my favorites), frogspawn, a couple anemones, zoas and palys (of course), tube anemone, turbos, atreas, emerald crabs, blue legged hermits, some kind of red worm in my sand bed, sponges, a duncan, candycane corals (oops i broke it 3 times!), toadstool, and thankfully no aptasia!!! I have a bicolor blenny, yellow headed sleeper goby, 2 clarky clowns, cleaner shrimp, coral banded shrimp, a onespot foxface, one green chromis, 6-lined wrasse, engineer goby, and a long-nose hawkfish. I had 2 4' ICP Pros from Current running until about 2 weeks ago, until I swapped them with a Hydra 26 and Hydra 32 (they were cheap so I got a mismatched pair lol). I have an octopus skimmer, 2 200W heaters, Sicce return pump, a used inovative marine 15G reservoir with ATO module (I forgot was it is called), am dosing mag, and soda ash from BRS with a jabao doser. I have a Jabao power head (it's a big boy) with a couple current ones, and some fluval ones. I really need to upgrade those lol, but they are doing the job.
I use Google Sheets to update my levels weekly on Sundays, and I even made a couple charts, which is pretty cool to watch.
Any suggestions, would be fabulous if you have any! This forum has made me such a better reefer. I couldn't tell you how many times I have searched through forums to find out something unique. But of course I will always be a little skeptical. It is a educated guess sometimes lol.
Well enjoy some pics of my tank as I continue my journey in the reef world!
Good idea!Welcome! Glad you joined. You are well on your way!!
Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). You could even copy everything from above and paste into a new thread in Forum > Member Aquariums > size
This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
The Supreme Guide To Setting Up A Saltwater Reef Aquarium
This article was sponsored by @MarineDepot at www.marinedepot.com. Introduction The marine environment is one of the most complex systems on the planet. The aquarium you are about to set up is only a tiny sliver of the vast ocean, but it is no...www.reef2reef.com
