My first saltwater tank. I purchased the tank in July, got it wet late August. I used the TBS "package," most of the rock is in my QT tank since I chose to go with a more minimalist aquascape. Dealing with Richard was awesome and the product was fantastic. I wish I had a larger tank to fit the rest of the rock, some pieces I really wanted to incorporate.
I went with an aftermarket sump to help facilitate using the Triton method. I've been manually dosing while waiting for my doser to arrive. This has been difficult since I've been out of town most of the last month. I modified the original plumbing to fit the new sump but was tired of the stock drain valve and put together new plumbing to fit which works and looks better.
Equipment
Lifereef SVS3-24 skimmer
BRS mini reactor
Kessil H150 refugium light
Eheim concept 2000 return pump
Lifereef refugium sump
Custom drain plumbing with gate valve
24" ATI sunpower fixture
New Apex
Tunze 3155 ATO
Artfully Acrylic screen top
2x Tunze 6055's
Reefbrite LED moonlight (mounted to ATI fixture)
GHL doser 2.1 (on order for over a month...)
Life stock
2x Ocellaris clownfish
Ruby scale fairy wrasse
3x blue green Chromis
Brittle starfish
Peppermint shrimp
Sea cucumber
Black urchins (not sure what kind, I seem to get more every week)
Blue hermit crabs
Misc snails
I've been waiting to get the doser setup before purchasing corals. I'm not entirely sure what direction I'm going to go. Im fond of LPS dominant tanks.
Sorry for the bad pics. I'll take pics with a real camera down the road.
