Hey everyone!

Starting a new tank build, and I'll be documenting the entire process here from day one.

The tank is a UNS 90LA paired with an AI Blade Grow 30", and I'll start posting photos as everything arrives over the next few weeks.

The goal is to build a relatively easy-to-maintain reef while I'm in medical school. Rather than packing it with corals, I want the focus to be on a small collection of unique fish with a few carefully chosen centerpiece corals and invertebrates.

Current livestock plan:

  • Pair of clownfish. I was originally planning on a pair of Oman clownfish, but I've heard the tank may be a little too small.
  • Yasha Goby + Randall's Pistol Shrimp
  • Mandarin Dragonet
  • Possibly a Swissguard Basslet
  • Talbot's Damsel (I had one in my previous tank and absolutely loved its personality and colors.)
Coral/Invertebrate plan:

  • Bubble Tip Anemone
  • Crocea Clam
  • Montipora
  • A few Rock Flower Anemones
  • A small isolated island of GSP
My goal is to keep the system as simple as possible. I'd like to rely primarily on regular water changes instead of dosing for as long as I can.

Current equipment:

  • UNS 90LA
  • AI Blade Grow 30"
  • Standard UNS return pump
  • MiniQ skimmer
  • Inkbird temperature controller
  • 100W BRS titanium heater
I still have a lot to figure out regarding equipment, livestock, and timeline so I'm definitely open to suggestions. I will be adding the fish slowly so I'm not really in a rush.

Looking forward to sharing the build!
