Hey all! I’m currently going through the stages of my first cycle on my first tank. I have a max e 170 aio with an INKBIRD Wi-Fi controller, 200w titanium heater, 1 ecotech mp10 power head, roughly 25lbs of dry live rock, with roughly a 2in bed of caribsea live sand. I copied my lighting schedule from someone that has the same lighting as me and has had success in their tank. I feel like all of this is a really great starting point. Question is…. Is one powerhead enough for a mixed reef application? Also I’ve been speculating on what exactly I want to put into my tank. My list includes 8 Cerith snails, a blood shrimp, a pair of longfin black ice clowns, and a lawnmower blenny. Would my tank be overloaded with all of this plus coral?
