Ok so after a few months of lurking around this site and others I've decided to make R2R my home and use this thread to track my progress i make in this hobby. I know I'm not going to win any awards and its not a million dollar reef but its mine:wink:all mine(and the wifes). I'm new to keeping corals only been doing this for a bit over a year but Ive had aquariums with fish since i was a child.
Tanks specs since this ones already built. Tank is 48"x18"x14" and is a recycled reptile cage saved from the landfill. I drilled one 1" hole toward the top of the tank for a overflow, and piped that into a old skool twenty(you know the ones with a oak frame) that serves as the refugium. The 20 gal houses lots of chaetomophora, sand, and amphipods. I drilled the 20 toward the bottom with a 1" hole as well and piped it to a 10gal that serves as a sump. The sump houses a return pump a el cheapo skimmer(works great) and a old marineland hot magnum filter. Lights are 4lamp T5 ati bulbs 2aquable specials one blue plus and a purple.
Fish are two mandarins, a maroon clown fish, and a lawn mower blenny(Charlie)who watches us as much as we watch him.
Corals well theres a few mostly zoas:bigsmile:.
Feedback is welcome positive and negative.
