Hello everyone!
Well, after 14 years since my last aquarium (ADA Freshwater) I finally decided to start reefing!
The tank is 10 weeks old post one month cycle(no lights). The Zoa's are not fully open because I just changed the aqua scape.
Specs:
Innovative Marine 15G AIO w/stand
Aqua Illumination Prime 16 HD
Tunze Comline 9001
Aqua Illumination Nero 3
Reef Breeders Nautilus 300 Return
Tropic Marin Pro Reef Salt
Live Stock:
Clown
Fire Shrimp
Rainbow BTA, Rose BTA
GSP on back wall and growing fast... NO SURPRISE
12 Zoanthids:
Nirvana
Magician
Utter Chaos
Eagle Eye's
Twizzler (ish?)
Pink Diamond
Fire and Ice
Rasta
and a few I can't recall names/haven't identified yet
4 Trochus snails
4 Nassarius snails
Schedule (evolving quickly as I learn)
Monday: Morning/Afternoon feeding, AB+ 2ml
Tuesday: Morning/Afternoon feeding
Wednesday: Morning/Afternoon feeding, AB+ 2ml, feed corals and BTA's (Reef Roids/Reef Chilly and small Mysis Shrimp mix) BTA's get a thumb nail size of shrimp each
Thursday: Morning/Afternoon feeding
Friday: Morning/Afternoon, AB+ 2ml
Saturday: Morning/Afternoon, feed corals and BTA's (Reef Roids/Reef Chilly and small Mysis Shrimp mix) BTA's get a thumb nail size of shrimp each
Sunday: Morning/Afternoon, 50% water change and test water chemistry
Additional Thoughts
Currently running Activate Carbon/GFO(BRS brand) mix in mesh bag in overflow section. I had high phosphate a few weeks ago and GFO has resolved the issue.
I'm currently designing a custom 22 gallon aquamaxx peninsula system with custom stand and sump. Plan to have it up and running in a few months at most... I'll be sharing the build shortly! The current 15 Gallon will become a dedicated BTA display.
Cheers and super excited to join the community!
