Hi everyone.
I recently set up a 33gal (125l) cube, and it's currently in the middle of the cycle.
I was thinking about adding some algae and copepods to the refugium to eventuali help me with nitrate and diatoms.
This is a picture of my sump: water falls through the first phase, passes through that UV light, then falls on to the second one (where I keep the media and heater for now) and then goes back to the return pump through the filtration chamber.
Ideally I'll put a skimmer and the algae in the second part, but let me know what you guys think.
Livestock: none yet, I'll add a pair of ocellaris, a goby+shrimp combo, some brittle starfish, a few shrimp and some corals. Nothing major.
Suggestions for improvement are appreciated.
