Hi! First post to my build thread. I’m converting a 30G waterbox rimless FW aquascape to an ultra low maintenance (ULM) nano reef. I will run the same filter slightly differently - Oase biomaster thermo 250. The goal is a bright tropical look with gorgonians, soft and LPS corals.
I enjoyed the BRS TV ULM topics and decided to do a clean start for the tank. As such, I have 20 pounds of marco rock and fresh matrix media to seed with Fritz turbostart. Today I started dissolving a batch of AF NeoMarin salt in RO water.
I will be building up the microorganisms in the rocks and media over the next 3-4 weeks before cleaning out the DT and QT and setting up the new tank. I will also start seeding pink coralline algae to the marco rock and PNS substrate sauce to the rock, matrix media and eventually the fiji pink dry sand.
It begins today….
