Hey everybody! This past week I attached a 50 gallon aquarium to my 60 gallon aquarium. They are both plumbed into a 40 gallon sump. I think it came out amazing! Let me know what you think. I added the water to this tank 2 days ago and already have sps, lps and fish! Check out my instagram, TikTok or YouTube as I am more active on those platforms @reef.cloverson Lets chat!

Do you have pictures? Videos can be weird at times
 
Update:
It is now just two months after I added the 50-gallon tank to my display! Everything is thriving. We did face a significant diatom outbreak about a month in, but I managed to tackle it by increasing water flow, performing regular water changes, and introducing millions of copepods and phytoplankton into the tank.
I also added sand to the fifty gallon about two weeks ago, which made the bottom more reflective, less likely to grow diatoms, and made the aquarium look way better as a whole.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
