Hey everyone! I’m new to the forum, not necessarily to reefing. Setup a bigger 55 gallon tank recently, so I’ll be stocking that in the coming weeks. I have 6 chromis, 1 LTA, 1 brain coral, a bunch of green mushroom corals, kenya tree, some Xenia, and a neon green coral (polyp maybe)? Forgot the name...
We are in the process of building a home so I didn’t want TOO big of a tank to have to move there, and placement right now isn’t ideal (near window). I am waiting on some blue vinyl to block light from the back so this should help considerably. No heat issues so far, the sun hits 1/4 of the back of the tank for maybe two hours.
I was going to setup a sump for this but the thought overwhelmed me, so I am running two hang-on filters. Lighting is LED (Dolphin2) on a daily schedule of whites, blues, and moon. Not sure I have the schedule down pat yet.
Next week I have a pair of black ice clowns coming In for the LTA
Nice to meet everyone! Looking forward to joining in on some of the discussions. Have a great weekend!
Some pics below, any constructive criticism on the setup is welcome!! Like I said blocking the back soon (today if usps blesses me with their presence finally). The sun rises on the right of the aquarium, goes over the window after about 2 hrs and is gone. I am thinking the vinyl should stop this.
