Hey guys! This is the start of my build thread. I will be making updates and changes.
This is not my first reef but my second. My first reef was a standard 20 gallon tall started with live rock. After dealing with many pests I decided to start an all dry rock tank. I had no idea what I was getting into.
Tank was started Feb 1st, 2016.
At first, I had a pretty good idea of how I was going to start the tank. I knew what equipment I would be using. I watched many videos on how to "kick start" a dry rock setup. Learning how to pour this, add that, and wait. Unfortunately, I was watching the wrong videos. Maybe, I wasn't? Maybe, I missed something? Anyway, this new build has been a journey. A lot of ups and downs. However, I've learned from my mistakes and I've even educated others. I will say, the tank is always maturing and it still goes through ugly phases. Follow along and see how this nano evolves.
Equipment
Eventually, the tank seemed to stabilize and things were going and growing great. I decided to add a couple more fish and a few more coral.
