Hey all,
figured i’d start a thread and see where it goes. Been in the hobby as a whole for about 5 years now. Had a 40 breeder for about 2 years when i still lived at home. I still miss that tank. Being my first full reef, it taught me everything i know about this hobby, along with a lot of you all for helping with advice and whatnot. I have since moved out and live with my beautiful wife and 2 dogs in an apartment.
Anyways, here’s a picture of the tank currently:
Specs:
Tank: Waterbox Cube 20
Filtration: Intank media basket chamber 1
Return pump: Sicce 1.0
Powerhead: Hydor Koralia 425
Heater: Aquatop 100W
Aquarium controller: InkBird It308 for heater/fan
Ato: Xp Aqua duetto with 3 gallon food container from Walmart.
Light: Ai prime 16 HD
Sand: Not sure yet, maybe fiji pink?
Rock: TBS “The Package” 16 lb order.
Stand: custom built 20x20x36 high
Algae scraper: Kasan Mini
So ive used dry rock in the past, and kinda hated how “dull” it was for such a long time. I swear i didnt see that stuff change color or even start to look decent until about a year and a half. So for this build im going to be seeking something out of my “comfort zone” utilizing some TBS live rock. Im most excited about this part because i love all the life and critters that can come on it, and believe theres no substitute for that amount of life to start. Its definitely going to be a different challenge, as well as many other parts of this build, but i’m looking forward to it!
Just made a simple stand with some basic cabinet hinges and a handle. I’ll take pics of the inside how its set up when i can decide where i want to mount all the cables and whatnot.
looking forward to all of you following along and helping me along the way!
Thanks for reading!
