Hey everyone,
I'm Andrej. I just started by reef tank journey 6 weeks ago and so far I love it! I am very much a newbie so I am absolutely open to any advice or suggestions on this build. Here is a quick account of my setup:
-Fluval Flex 32.5 gallon tank with stock light, pump, and filtration. The tank has a lid so evaporation is not an issue.
-Fluval T150 heater
-Sicce Voyager Nano 2000 Stream Pump
-CaribSea Fiji Pink sand
-Water is purchased from my local fish store
-Livestock: 4 Zoanthids, Duncan, Clove Polyps, Frogspawn, 2 Mushrooms, snails, sand sifting starfish, 2 Clownfish, 1 Red Headed Fairy Wrasse, 1 Purple Firefish (RIP)
I started my tank 6 weeks ago and jumped in without doing a lot of research. The tank was seeded with live rock from my local fish store and I added Fritz Turbostart 900 and a clownfish. At 6 weeks in, the tank looks pretty decent, although there have been some significant challenges. A couple of my Zoas are not doing so well, and I had a purple firefish die. It was a very shy fish and wouldn't eat once I added a second clownfish to the tank. Buying the sand sifting starfish was a bad idea. I learned a valuable lesson- I should research my purchases before buying, instead of going with what the store recommends...
My goal for this tank is to learn how to keep a steady reef tank and keep my animals alive and thriving. I have some updates planned for the next month or so- I bought 2 AI prime 16HDs and I'm going to ditch the lid. I'm going to add some more coral and hopefully get it to proliferate and cover the aquascape.
