So guys it took me a while to get started and get to know R2R a little but here we are!
November 15th I started my first ever reef tank. It’s a 15gal AIO and I added an extra pump for flow and also a very quiet return pump and skimmer since it’s in the living room. I set it up with coral sand, rocks(dead) and of course saltwater. I let it run for about 4 weeks while I added seachem stability the first week and also a mitrax crab and a Sally light foot crab. I didn’t feed too much at first but enough to get a cycle going. After 2 weeks all parameters turned out to be good but I still let it sit for another 2 weeks just to be sure. Now I have finally started stocking it. I added 2 Snowflake clowns, a frag of Euphyllia, Goniopora, zoa (if anyone can ID that would be great) and favites. I feed the fish a mix of pellets and frozen food and every other day I feed the corals with Red Sea AB+. I do a weekly 10-15% water change and mix the salt right before the water change. I use RO/DI water to top off.
hope you guys like my build so far and I will try to post as many updates as I can.
Enjoy!✌
