Hi folks!
My new tank is ready for fun now!
-125G
-Fluval FX6 with Matrix. I am concocting an inline filter sock holder to hopefully mitigate the dreaded "nitrate factory" that canisters are known for, whether its a true concern or not. If it doesn't work, cleaning the canister can be done fairly quickly.
-HOB refugium. Nothing in it yet.
-Three Phlizon 165W Dimmable Full Spectrum LED lights
-Eheim surface skimmer
-Aqqa 2100GPH circulation pump
I have these guys seemingly happy as can be:
(I know they're not considered 100% "reef safe", but when I do eventually add coral, I'll keep an eye on them and if they are nipping, I'll transfer them to my FOWLR tank.)
I plan to add all the fish I want first (no, not all at the same time), so I can treat it with copper if any signs of disease appear, then wait until it is safe to add corals.
Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated! I know I'll be asking alot of questions when it comes time to add the coral!
