Joes Reef Tank

[joe2601]

Hi and thx for having me

I have just set up a 60cm x 60cm x 60cm 210ltr with a 50 litre sump


Reef has been going for 2 months so and parameters seem ok
Apart from obvious all at 0
PH 8
Calcium 430
Magnesium 1300
Alkalinity 7.8

Home to
2 Clowns
1 Blenny
Coral
1 Hammer
2 Goni's
1 Acro
1 Zoa
1 x leather


Leather started of ok for 3 weeks but 2 weeks ago shut itself down. I thought I lost it until moving it last night and today I'm seeing signs of coming back.

Trying to get tank settled down.

Only issue I have is water flow and I think my Jebao CP 25 Cross Flow wave maker is too powerful.
Also I'm tired of sand being moved by wave maker no matter which way I direct it.
(Yes it's on lowest speed)

I am thinking 2 x Jebao SLW 10' (1 each side face forward and working together creating surge.
I would love opinions on this please.

Other than that tank is going ok. I think?

I think those SLW are fine.
What is the measured level of N and P.

Welcome to R2R!! Agree the jebao slw-10's would probably work fine for that tank, I wouldn't sweat the leather too much as they can act finicky for extended periods of time for no apparent reason.
