Thanks for the kind words! This tank is coming up on 2 years old in April. Equipment is as follows:
-IM 30L tank
-Tunze 9004 skimmer
-Bubble magus dosing pump for alk cal and mag
-I use cut up filter socks in a basket on the left overflow side
-carbon and chemi pure in bags in the back
-lighting is 4 bulb ATI fixture
-(2)blue plus, (1) purple plus and (1) coral plus
-(1) 36” reefbrite actinic XHO mounted to the ATI fixture
-submersible UV that is in the back chamber
-(2) MP10 QD for flow.
The biggest key I find is to keep the tank stable which can be a tall task in such a little tank. I found it easier to do less water changes to keep fluctuations minimal. My parameters are as follows:
Alk-8.4
Cal-420
Mag-1300
Nitrate-10-15
PO4-.06
I do 2gal water changes biweekly to triweekly
lastly, I set up this thread to show off this tank before I upgrade. In the next few months I plan to have a water box 65AIO up and running that this will transfer into and I wanted to catalog the end state of beauty this tank has produced before it goes through a dramatic change.
