Adams 40 Gallon Reef build

[AdamNC]

Haven’t tested in a few weeks so couldn’t really say. Last time I tested was a month in and the nitrates didn’t budge. Could just take time. I have a nitrate factory fish in there, Yellow Tang.

Currently have a Yellow Tang, Chalk Basslet, Bangaii Cardinal and 2 OC Clowns. That combo has been doing good for a few years now. I’ve tried adding others but the female clown kills on sight now.

Very nice thread. Keep it up. I am getting closer to doing a similar build. Thinking of doing the overflow on the left side of the tank. Love what you have done

Adam is there anything you would do differently if you could? How do you like the size of your sump? Thanks for any insight. And thanks for doing the build. It really is greatly appreciated.

I am betting that if you keep getting such a great harvest it should be going down slowly by now. At least not going up! I am considering using a Algae Scrubber. But not set to that as of yet.
