2 gallon reef jar setup

LordJoshaeus · Nov 11, 2018

Hello everyone! I am going to be setting up a 2 gallon reef jar for a friend of mine and wanted to make sure my ideas for doing so were adequate. Here are the specs of the 'tank';
Circulation: Two airlines from a 4 watt air pump
Heater: 25 watt heater
Light: 23 watt ABI PAR 38 tuna blue bulb
Nutrient export: One 100% weekly water change
Substrate: None?
Fauna: No fish or mobile inverts, mushroom coral, a photosynthetic gorgonian, zoanthids? (nervous about palytoxin), maybe macroalgae of some kind?, maybe a rock flower anemone? (in which case water changes jump to twice a week to accommodate feeding the anemone)

Thanks

I would advise 100% against a rock flower nem due to unstable parameters.
Palytoxin is nothing you should be concerned about unless you sniff the zoas when you frag them or boil a rock with them
