Just got back from Afghanistan and I've had my sad experiment of a tank for three years now. Lucky a family members was able to keep the tank alive while I was gone, though the corals have lost some luster due to reduced water changes. The livestock/coral (Mandarin Goby for 1.5 yrs 29gal, LPS, soft and some sps etc..) does great but the setup is not impressive and piecemeal. SO now its time to get legit. I have 1k to spend, this is the plan, no rush, but more cash will be hard to negotiate
.
Already own:
1. Light 1 x 150 MH with 4 x T5.
2. Drilled 40 breeder and 40 breeder for fuge.
3. ATO
4 2 Koralia pumps
5. GFO Reactor
What I think I need
- Custom built stand and canopy = 300
- SWC cone skimmer w/ pump = 275
- 2 new heaters = 100
- Plumbing = 100
- Reefkeeper 350
I've learned that a great tank is one with very less work hence the reefkeeper but I'm sure I'm forgeting some very useful stuff. BTW this will be primarily a LPS and Soft display with a few easy SPS colonies.
