Hello Wisconsin and everywhere else,
I am back to the hobby after ten years off. I started with a new stock Biocube 32, in January 2022. I started the tank with dry rock and sand. I used the bacteria to add fish quickly. That was a mistake; the first two clowns died. I did a bunch of water changes and give it a month to settle down. I added two clowns, a coral beauty and an orchid dottyback. The stock light was not to my liking, so I added a Prime HD, and then I wanted a protein skimmer to remove organics. I added HOB 1.5 to the first chamber. I added a bunch of corals, maybe too many. I bought more from the Tidal Gardens sale a few weeks ago. I am still trying to figure out the placement for the new corals. I will complete that this weekend.
Brian
