Hello R2R,
Posting an introduction for the first time, although I've been a long time lurker. I transitioned from a 20-gallon tank (which I had set up for about a year) to an Innovative Marine 30L probably about a month ago. My tank details are below. While I spend most of my time as a digital editor for a newspaper in Rhode Island (USA). I've been really digging aquariums for about 3 years now. Of course, I've dabbled with aquariums all of my life.
Setup:
Tank: 30 gallon Innovative Marine
Substrate: Just under 30 pounds of figi pink
2 hydor powerheads
Innovative Marine 30L stand
Some heater I can't remember...
Live rock from my 20-gallon tank
Tunze Auto Topoff system
2 AI Primes (I'd be very interested in hearing people's settings on these lights who are running similar tanks)
Filtration:
filter sock
minimax reactor with GFO
eshopps nano skimmer
Carbon bags
Custom Cady with sponge and mini refugium
Innovative Marine refugium light
Livestock:
1 royal gramma (new this week)
2 locally raised clownfish (one normal one more like an onyx)
2 bubble tip anemone (one huge, one not so huge)
1 carpet anemone
1 pistol shrimp
1 tuxedo urchin (not looking so hot lately)
1 bubble coral
1 worm (No idea the technical term, he's cool and red)
1 brain coral
2 Candycane frags
1 birds nest coral (new this week)
1 acan colony
1 purple stylophora frag (new this week)
1 montipora frag
1 mushroom (new this week)
pulsing zenia (not long for my tank
and some other kind of branching zenia (which do like)
Assorted hermit crabs and snails
Typical Paramaters:
dKH: 8
Ca: 448
Ph: 8.3
Na: 1025
Phosphate: 9ppb
And that's basically that.
Here's what everyone really wants, the pics:
Sorry my bubble coral is looking grumpy... She's typically much happier.
Bonus picture: My 30 gallon fresh water tank. I know it doesn't belong but I don't want that tank to get jealous ;Happy
