This is my first reef tank. I started this about nine months ago and have had many ups and downs. I don't have much for coral as you can see. A Frogspawn Coral, Kenya Tree which keeps getting bigger, a Mushroom coral and 1 Zooanth with a Feather Duster on the left. I do 20% water changes weekly and went through the Dyno stage which I couldn't stand. I had to slowly remove all my sand and add a UV Sterilizer which seems to have made a difference. I was running a Protein Skimmer for a while and sometimes it would work and other times it wouldn't. This tank is the Fluval Evo 13.5 gallon tank. I upgraded my lighting to the USA Orbit Marine light with remote control. I'm taking my time as far as adding coral. I have 3 fish as you can see. 1 Clown fish, Firefish, and A Royal Gramma. I can use as much help as possible, I'll try and keep people updated. Thanks, Don Deslauriers

Sounds like a really nice tank! Do you have any pics? [emoji3]
 
Hello Reef2Reef'ers!

Let me preface this post by saying that your tank doesn't have to be packed full of mature sps coral colonies and have the best gear to be included. But we will need a decent photo. :)

We want to start a new series of threads where we feature a Reef Tank from one of our members. It will be a simple bit of info and photo of your tank with link to your build thread. If you're interested then please share a full or partial tank shot that you're proud of and the following data.

  • Full or Partial Photo
  • Tank Size
  • Date Started
  • Link to R2R build thread

And that's it!

If we use your tank then your tank will receive recognition and you will receive a spiffy new "Reef Tank 365" badge under your name!
