Hi guys.
So, this is my first saltwater tank! I'm very excited, believe me. I'm using the Waterbox Peninsula Mini 25. It's about 95l. Considering that up to this point I've only kept freshwater (the largest of which was 65l) so I'm really enjoying this new challenge and hobby, both with the saltwater, and the new size.
Equipment:
Skimmer: Bubble magus qq1
Heater: Jebo 100w
Powerhead: Tunze nanostream 6020, if it ever comes back in stock. Fluval sea cp2 if not.
ATO: Aqua One Aquafill
Substrate: 25kgs Aragonite 2mm (I'm not using all of it, just a budget deal)
Rock: Marco Rocks
Filter: Aqua One Ocellaris canister filter. Using coral rubble as biological filtration inside.
Salt: Instant Ocean.
Stocking:
2x ocellaris clownfish
1x yellow clown goby
1x banggai cardinalfish
1x anemone
1x cleaner shrimp
Snails, hermit crabs ect as CUC
Coral:
Very new to corals, so I'll be taking it easy and using predominantly softies/LPS. I'm planning to stock slowly, taking advantage of any good deals I can find, probably second-hand from other hobbyists. These are just corals I'm interested in, not sure I'll stock all of them.
Anyway, here's my list:
Hammer coral
Zoas
Leather/Toadstool coral
Candycane coral
Pulsing Zenia (excluded on an island)
Small montipora
Maybe a birdsnest
Not sure if that's too much, or not enough -- not sure on anything really! I'm just planning to see how it goes, and adjust from there. I'm not too keen on dosing, so I'll see if I can get to a point where I'm satisfied with the reef and not at the point where I have to dose.
I've bought the tank now, I will post pics of the tank once I get it.
