Hello,
I just signed up for this forum and I have been out of the saltwater aquarium game for 15years. I recently purchased a WaterBox Mini Peninsula 25 gallon for my birthday in January from worldwide coral and staff member Dre was very helpful. The tank has been set up for a month. I just wanted to show the community and ask a few questions.
my current build is:
CaribSea live rock, 2 nano arches, 1 big Arch, 1 donut)
CaribSea live sand, Fiji Pink
No filter sock ( have 2 ordered in the mail, and have gone thru 3 already)
Carbon and filter pads that come with aquarium
(after watching a WaterBox video on YouTube they build a 15 and chose to leave out the bio balls since the aquarium will have plenty surface area on the rocks and sand)
Standard pump. I have been considering upgrading to a Sicce 1.0 or 1.5 surrounded by foam to reduce noise ( I have read on here they are very loud and this is in my bedroom)
AI Prime 16
AI Nero 3
Kraken Reefs Lid, Feeder box, overflow guard, and Nem guard for the Nero 3.
for cycle I using Dr.Tim’s reef cycle 2x with a clownfish, water was high in ammonia last week so I’ve been doing a lot of water changes. But the readings have straightened out.
I also use Seachem Prime, Clarity, Pristine, Stress guard and Brigthwell microbacter7
Currently the tank sits on my desk but I would like to put it on a stand. The stands at WWC cost 400 but I think there is one that would fit the tank currently in water boxes clearance section. Also any links on successful tank moving would be great.
inhabitants:
Small white bugs scurrying around the glass(this is from live sand I guess?)
Blood Shrimp
Small Clownfish
Pygmy Hippo tang, will probably be moved to a bigger tank in less than 6months depending on growth
I am very happy with this build and I hope y’all like it too.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my build and please if you have any suggestions or ratings I would love to know.
