Quick update. I know its been a bit for an update, been pretty busy. everything is 100% up and running, added the trident system, dosing All for Reef. I now have coralline growing on the tank bottom and back panel. I have had some minor issues that were all my fault. lost a couple of frags due to placement. i had no idea I had so much par. I ended up renting a par meter for a day from my LFS. at peak intensity I was at 350 on the floor of the tank. So i moved the lighting fixture up a bit. now its about 175-200 on the floor. I think I will have to add another radion, so I can reduce the amount of time the T5 bulbs are on. I currently run them for 4 hours with a 30 minute stagger between the front and back pairs.
I have added some Maxspect nanotech bio bloblocks and their Anaerobic-Block to the refugium section of the sump as well as some chaeto. using an AI fuge HD16 on it.
so far the stocking list it:
Corals
WWC Watermelon Psammocora
WWC Rainbow Pocillopora
red dragon acro
green stag horn
WWC Bicolor war coral
Jack-0-lantern leptoseris
red cap montipora
WWC Blueberry fields acro
assorted zoas
hollywood stunner chalice
Fish
Powder blue tang
Desjardinii Sailfin Tang
Timore Wrasse
pair of Black Ice Clowns
3 green chromis
for clean up crew...
mexican turbo snails, one is about the size of a baseball.
Astrea snails
banded trochus snails
the powder blue and timore wrasse were the last remaining inhabitants of the cube this tank replaced. The wrasse doesnt seem to mind the bare bottom tank, so thats good. I am working on fleshing out the fish list. I know I want to add a 6 line and maybe a few more chromis. I am open to suggestions on fish, really want a lot of color in there. I plan on going pretty heavy on fish. I went so over kill on the skimmer and adding in the fuge, I feel I have the bandwidth in the fiultration system. i do plan on taking the stocking slow though.
future equipment additions...
leaning towards getting the new trident NP
Ozone system
maybe UV sterilizer
