Hello everyone I have lurked this forum for years.
I’ve had a ton of fresh water aquariums. One of my uncles owned a fish store with a big focus on Koi’s so I’ve been around fishes my entire life.
I’ve contemplated having a saltwater tank for a while but I’ve never done so until about a year and a half ago. I used this forums along with a few others to get up to speed on a lot of things while doing research. I’m currently starting to add corals and improve my tank//aquascaping as I do so.
My setup:
AI Prime 16HD light, wall mounted 14” over the tank
I have a 17G nano reef (aquamaxx) with a drilled overflow box into a 10g custom sump with a eshoppes s120 skimmer at an 8” depth, a small refuge 6” depth with chaeto, and a basic led clip on light on a timer and a return pump.
In the tank:
Fish
2 black oscellaris clownfish
1 tail spot blenny
cleanup crew:
3 trocheus snails
2 cerith snails
2 scarlet leg crabs
corals
1. Bubble tip anemone
1. Aussie Gold Hammer
My end goal:
- Clean up wiring and put a black background on the tank.
- Get a smaller heater that I can stash in my refuge
- add another wave maker
- add ATO setup
- add a coral or two monthly until I’m satisfied or get a bigger tank
edit: photo tax included, sorry the tank is ramping down so not the best shot!
