Growing up and on and off through my Adult life I always seemed to have a fresh water tank, with live stock ranging all over the place. The last dive of fresh water for me was Bloody Mary Shrimp, which are still going strong today to the point I have a couple of breeding tanks set up for them.
My dream though was always getting into Saltwater. I wanted to get a coral going. While I do love planted tanks, and the simple beauty of fresh water, I needed the challenge. My hold back was always the capital to get started. While at my local fish store, they should be an Aquatop Recife Eco 40 Gallon system they had on sale. After googling the base price, I quickly realized it was a price tag I could not pass up, plus some addition deals off the other items to get me started. I jumped in head first and did not look back.
So I took everything home setup the tank and RODI unit and went to work making buckets on buckets of water, filled up that and started the wait..
Initial setup:
Live Rock
Live Sand
Base AIO of the AIO system
2 Aqamai Wifi Controllable Powerheads
