Hello. New to reefing. Have mostly had freshwater tanks most of my life. I dabbled with a saltwater setup when I was in my 20's but that was 35+ years ago, before the internet. Information, either good or bad was limited. So, it was a short lived disaster. I got back into salt water about 7 months ago and have had no livestock losses... so far. 30 gallon set up with a couple of clowns, a dotty back and a cleanup crew consisting of 3 astrid snails, 3 emerald crabs, and a banded shrimp. I do weekly water tests which show up perfect results. I haven't done any of the reef tests yet since, so far I am only fowlr. However, I intend on introducing corals in another 5 months when my tank has matured for a year. Plus, it gives me time to research corals and try to figure out my lights and flow and get my reef water parameters in tune.
The equipment I am running is:
HOB skimmer (that is finally dialed in)
Canister filter with in-line heater
Single wave-maker
LED light panel with 2 channels, supposedly will support corals.
I plan on renting a PAR meter online to get readings throughout the tank.
Anyhow, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Any guidance is welcome.
