I haven't even been in this hobby a full year, and am already on my third tank (sort of). I started with a 30 gallon long and loved it, but it sprung a leak a week after my first child was born, so I basically just dumped everything into my "hospital tank" and have left in there. I recently got a good deal on a Marineland 60g cube with a stand and sump and some equipment. It also had some live rock and two fish with it.
I didn't want to just dump the fish, but also don't think I'm going to keep them. I'm still not sure. One is a coral beauty and the other is a Kole Tang. I know the tank is too small for the tang, I'm still waiting to see if the coral beauty nips at corals.
All of the coral is now in the new tank, so I'm going to turn the 20g back into a quarantine tank and hopefully start getting some fish! I could use some suggestions, I don't know why but I'm having a hard time making decisions with this tank! My wife wants some clowns, so I guess I'll get those
I immediately upgraded the drain to a herbie overflow, amazing how quiet it is. Also have a LED grow light from a freshwater aquaponics tank I had, so I threw that on the sump and plan to get some Chaetomorpha. I've never had a sump so this will be fun for me.
I have an IceCap Gyre 1k from my first tank...I'm having a hard time getting the flow just right with it but I'm trying not to have to spend more money at least not right away.
Running a hydra26 for lighting. Seems to be enough.
I loved the aquascape, but kind of wish I had built it higher now. Maybe I can build onto that later?
Anyway, here are some pictures, tell me what you think and give me some suggestions on livestock and anything else!
