Hopefully my tank thread doesn't spark the wrong idea.
Long time reader/lurker. Been tankless for a year and a half after a heater incident system crash on 60 gallon frag tank. Recently was gifted a 25G Nuvo Fusion so it's time to get back into the hobby. Looking forward to all the challenges and beauty of owning a reef tank again. Sorry for the poor photo this was in my garage during water test.
Equipment and substrate:
IM 25G Lagoon with black APS stand
OceanRevive T247-B Led
IM stock 211gph return pump
Jebao PP-8 wavemaker
Cobalt 100W NeoTherm heater
InTank caddies filled with filter floss, MarinePure gems
InTank refugium caddy (No macroalgae until I get a fuge light)
AutoAqua Smart ATO
Innovative Marine DIY Screen
LFS and MarcoRock from prior build ~15 lbs
FIsh and inverts:
3 Chromis Viridis (blue-green) - Larry Curly and Moe
1Tailspot Blenny - Mister Bean
2 Astrea snails
2 Red-Banded Trochus snails
Corals: (wishlist)
Acans or is it micromussa now? Lords and micros welcome in my tank.
GSP background - Would like to try to keep on back wall.
Duncans - Had these in my last tank and greatly enjoyed feeding these.
Zoanthids and Palys - Seems like a staple for most tanks to fill in. Entertaining idea of keeping some clear frag racks on the sides for zoas.
Mushrooms - Love the ricordeas never kept any except for some simple blue ones (actinodiscus?) in prior tank. They simply thrived on their own. Need to research husbandry.
Lessons learned (or relearned):
Tank screens - All fish and mobile critters can and will leave an open tank. Larry is no longer with us. RIP Larry.
update 022920: Screen cover has been assembled and installed. Larry has been cloned (just HAD to visit LFS today) and is now back with his sidekicks. 2 Astreas and 2 Red-Banded Trochus added for cleanup as well.
Todays conditions:
Temp 78F|Sal 1.025|Ph 8.0|NH3 0ppm|NO2 0ppm|NO3 >5ppm
