UNS 5N Planted Reef! The Macro Shoreline

KingTideCorals · Oct 25, 2020

Afternoon to all of you reefers out there! I am excited to announce a new build in the works!Tthe plan has been modified and tinkered with in the past couple months, but some pieces are finally coming together to form what I am hoping to create which will be called "The Macro Shoreline"

The scape will be littered with real live rock and macro algae to create a representation of a more natural environment.

I show off the tank and light for this weeks upload on my YouTube channel and wanted to share it here for the documentation of my build thread! Feel free to join in on my adventure in a new style of reefing and exciting new natural build for my place!

Tank: UNS 5N
Light: Twinstar II 300 E

Appreciate you! I am excited to get it started! Anyone ever get orders from KP Aquatics live rock before and/or anyone have suggestions for macros to add to the system?

Not sure why this gif... but yes this gif

Got you covered man.. check out the thread:

KP Aquatics Live Rock

I received 10lbs of live rock shipped in water today from KP Aquatics. I’m using it to augment and boost the biodiversity in my reef tank which has 60lbs of dry rock that’s currently a few months old. This stuff is great! Just from moving it to a 20gal quarantine tank, I found a really big...

Little update on the Macro Shorelines, and another fun upload on the channel for this weeks video!

KingTideCorals · Feb 19, 2021

I will say this has been one of my favorite tanks I have EVER had! A new style of reefing and honestly a completely different aesthetic! Wanted to update you all with a couple things here.. First off I added a very intersting and unique fish to the tank... check it out!

Secondly, I have added a sweet snail guard to the ATO so I don't run into another terrible flooding situation in this tank... a story for another day..

Here is a shot of the tank post trimming and cleaning from last night, and the Macro Shorelines in all its glory today! Cheers!
