This is very nice and about the size I want to do for my first sw. You mention a HOB for filtration then under Extra Equipment you mention HOB again. Is that the same HOB or a second one? If it's a second one what are you using it for? A fuge?
Tank Size : 15 gallons
Mixed Reef
Filtration : HOB that runs Chemipure with filter floss
Lighting: Black Box LEDS
Extra Equipment: Nothing special, just a heater, HOB, 2 hydor powerheads (240gph &180gph) and lights
Water Changes: 10% weekly
Tank is about 14 months old, went really slow with this set up to ensure stability, now that things have remained constant for a few months I'll be adding a yellow clown goby and some more corals over the next few weeks.
Unsure if this is normal for all lights but mine works on a percentage... I set the % for blue & white.What do you have your lights set at?
My last large tank was a 180 gallon, and I ran it with a Sump, Protein Skimmer, Chiller, UV Sterilizer, Heater, Metal Halides, and just about every other piece of equipment you can think of.
BUT... more and more, I'm seeing Reefers who are successfully running small and large reef aquariums "without a Sump", or some of the other traditional equipment that we who have been in the hobby for a while have always used.
SO... if you do not use a Sump in your reef aquarium, please share your tank with us - especially if you have a tank that is 40 gallons or above.
