JBJ 45 rimless build

MillsReef · Jul 29, 2019

I'm looking for advice on upgrades for the JBJ rl-45.

I'm currently running an Ocean Revive t247, stock pumps and baskets, JBJ sk-45 skimmer (replacing with ?), vortech mp10wqd, Chemi-pure blue, seachem matrix carbon, chaeto, and floss.

Livestock- bonded pair of black gladiator clowns, 1x diamond goby, 1x skunk shrimp, 8x hermits, 2x conch snails, 5x astrea snails, 1x brittle star, some green mushrooms, 2x small colonies of candy cane coral, 1x small colony of frogspawn, 1x purple/orange ricordea mushroom

Any advice or pics of othe JBJ 45 setups would be greatly appreciated!

Hey, welcome to R2R! I have the JBJ 45 Flat Panel. You can see my build thread in my signature (turn sideways to see it if on your phone). It is a long thread, but there is a table of contents. LOL.

Well... I just won a raffle at my lfs and won a $50 gift card. I ended up getting a six line wrasse and an acan frag to add to the tank. I'm pretty pumped!

I just started some DIY organizing under the tank today. I will keep you guys posted. Sorry for the dog hair... we have a husky. [emoji29] I also need to get some 1.5" grommets for the holes I drilled, it doesn't look too incredibly pretty.

Ok, so the wrasse didn't work out, and he started nipping at/attacking my clowns... he had to go. He was the hardest fish I've ever had to catch and I had to completely tear down all of my rock work... I redid everything yesterday, as well as adding a large colony of star polyps. I also dropped around $2k at marinedepot.com so I'll post that stuff when it comes. [emoji6]
