Hello All,
I actually had an account long ago. I got out of the community. Returned. Started my first reef tank after being in and out of the hobby since 2006. Military deployments and such.
Running
40Gallon Breeder
Seachem Tidal 110 Filter (Seachem, Carbon, Matrix, and Chemi-Pure Blue plus the two pads.)
AquaMax HOB Bullet-3 Skimmer. Not currently running. Waiting a few months to mature.
2- AI Prime 16 LED
2- AI Nero 3
2-100W Sicce Scuba Contactless Heaters.
Ice-Cap ATO
Livestock
2-Ocellaris ClownFish. (One of them I have had since 2015.)
1-Yellow Coris Wrasse.
1-Diamond Goby/Pistol Shrimp.
1-Rasta Zoa Colony with 10 polyps.
1-Ricordea Florida. (starting to split)
1-Tri-color Platy Gyra.
1- Neon Gonio Pora.
2-Neon Tip Torch.
1-Pink Tip Torch.
1-Blacklight Torch.
1-Christmas Favia.
1-Red/Orange Indo Chalice.
2-hammers.
1-Fathead Dendro.
All healthy!
13% weekly water changes. Change filters monthly. Have a RODI Water Changing station in my basement. Basically, two brutes. One for RO water and one for mixing. Heaters and circulation pumps in each. I have a booster pump on the RODI unit, but I still cannot get above 40psi. The only other issue I have is my alkalinity is sitting at 12dKH. Meh, maybe my Nitrates are a little high, but I just incorporated the 13% weekly change recently. I have noticed them decreasing each time I test weekly.
I think that is about it. Any and all suggestions are most welcome. Looking forward to spending too much time on here, lol.
Thanks
Andy
