Hey reader,
I’ve always wanted a saltwater tank and didn’t know about the reefing underworld.
As I got to know more and more I realized that this is a full time job. Moved recently and finally got my wife on board because we have the room.
setup was complete Sunday (5 days ago)
current build:
RS Reefer 525 XL
RS 600 skimmer
3 Ecotech XR30 Gen5 Blue’s
2 Ecotech MP40’s
Ecotech return
Ecotech Vectra M2 return pump
Ecotech battery backup
Artica chiller
Apex Neptune & 2 dosers
Neptune Trident
PO4 reactor
UV sterilizer
I also has a sock bracket installed for my GFO to try and keep it semi clean.
No idea what I am doing but have amazing help from Aquarium City to help get me going and help maintain the tank until I get the hang of it.
looking to make this an Acro tank with a some other eye popping and interesting corals.
I didn’t have patience (which I got blasted over) but added a jawbreaker, yuma & a blasto. After getting a good long lesson for the 10th time I agreed not to touch the tank for 5 more weeks.
Current fish which I was told were ok are:
2 Ocellaris clownfish
2 black snowflake clownfish
4 blue green chromis
Fingers crossed, praying for a beautiful tank and little to no heartbreak
Question: any suggestions on how to take clear pictures? Camera, lense..?
(the picture underneath was after almost completion of the setup so trident isn’t in it)
