Hi,
I currently have a 75gallon mixed reef that's been running for about 9 months with the following critters:
2 clownfish
2 watchman gobies
2 yellowtail damsels
4 fire fish
1 Neon dotty back
1 Scopas Tang
1 BTA
Various LPS
Various softies
Various invertebrates
Parameters are as follows (average over last 6 weeks):
pH 8.2 to 8.5
Temp 78 to 79
Nitrates 0 (recently added about 10lbs of live rock and that dropped my N03 to 0. Previously it was around 10 ppm.) I'm feeding zoo and reef roids to keep corals and BTA happy.
Ca 450
Mg 1450
Alk 8.5 dkh
I currently have just a hang-on-back filter and two powerheads.
I see a lot about sumps and refugiums and am wondering if it's worth while to set those up?
In the future, I'd like a few SPS and a lot more LPS and more fish. Will I eventually need a "better" filter system?
