I am currently running two reef tanks. So first one is a simple innovative marine 30 nuvo. I'm running the hydor nano slim skim. With a dimmable led fixture (not sure on the brand). I have 2 lbs black hawaiian sand and 20 lbs of the brs reef saver dry rock.
My stocking is:
One false percula clown (female)
One false black percula clown (male)
Pink spot watchmen goby
Pistol shrimp
Coral:
Green bubble tip anemone with orange tips
Metallic green brain
Orange torch
Green flower anemone
Monti cap
Unknown brain favia.
My wife bought me this tank and stand combo for my birthday and it's been up and running since july/august.
Next is a 100 gallon display.
20L refugium
20L sump
Equipment:
650 gph overflow box
Reef octopus nwb 150
Next reef smr1 biopellet reactor
750 gph return pump
Aqualifter (for over flow)
Aquahub diy auto top off (13 gallon can for ro/di water)
60" odessea 3x 250w metal halides running phoenix 14k bulbs (only using 2 mh bulbs due to center brace)
2x 65w power compact actinic
2x 95 w power compact actinic
8x led moons
2x wp25s
2x 800 gph sunsuns
80 lbs live rock
Soccer ball size cheato
32 mangroves
Dosing:
Kalk in ato
Microbacter7 (first dose today)
Brs biopellets (3 weeks old)
Stocking:
Yellow tang
Hippo tang
True percula
2x yellow tail damsels
Strawberry pseudo
Yellow corris wrasse
Cleaner shrimp
Pink pincushion urchin
I've been in the hobby for 2 years. Since I've started I've used api test kits and have been battling nitrates from day one. It got to the point to where I was just comfortable with it since my corals were looking good. But I had that itch to go full sps or mostly sps. Havnt been able to keep much but have only tried a birds nest and sum unknown acro. Did last long. Last week I decided to get a salifert nitrate test. Long behold this tells me 10 to 25 ppm compared to the api 80 to 160. So here I am unsure which to believe. I would love to have that perfect system hence the reason for biopellets, microbacter7, cheato, and mangroves. I do 20 gallon a week water changes. This last week I did one everyday for 4 days and according to my api test it barely made a dent in my nitrates. So anyways this is my story so far. Glad I found this app. The other forum I was on I couldn't post on anymore.
