Decided to upgrade my clown goby’s tank from a 5 gallon nano to a reefer 170 I bought today. I didn’t like how small the 5 gallon was and it didn’t seem fair to the fish so I think he’ll like all the new space. I’ve never had a sump or a protein skimmer or a tank this big sooo this should be interesting (any advice is appreciated lol). I have live rock from my 5 gallon and the tank came with 30 lbs of live rock. I will aquascape and add water tomorrow. This is what my sump looks like though.
I have a bubble magus curve 5 for the skimmer and a Sicce syncra 2.0 in there (also came with the tank). For now I have an Aquaknight as the light (that’s what I had on my 5gal) but I will be getting an AI Hydra 26 this weekend. The tank also came with an EcoTech wave maker but I’m not gonna put that on until I aquascape. I had a reef tank for about 5 years in middle and high school, but I gave my tank away and only started again this past year (I’m a junior in college). Right now, I’m trying to decide what type of filter media I should run and how exactly I do that in the sump. So, any advice is highly appreciated! That’s enough rambling! I’ll update tomorrow when I have a chance to go to the LFS and get sand and water and stuff.
