Update 10/12/2024: Equipment, wire management, and the cycle begins!
After about 10 days, I was able to add all of the equipment and wire manage everything with the help of coworker. (Thankfully he is much better at wire management than I will ever be lol).
The current equipment that I'm running includes:
1x Sicce Syncra SDC 3.0
2x Ecotech Marine MP10's
1x Ecotech Marine XR30 G6 PRO
1x Ecotech Marine Versa 4
1x Hydros Launch
1x Hydros XP8
1x Tunze Osmolator 3315
1x Avast Marine Plank
I am missing 3 pieces of equipment that will come later on in the build. These include
1x Hydros Maven
1x Reef Octopus Skimmer
1x Red Sea Reef Mat 500
I will probably get the Reef Mat 500 as soon as the cycle is complete. Unless of course, my pH is horribly low.
I do plan on keeping a true mixed reef, but with some torch and acropora dominance.
For now though, I will keep the lights off and let it do it's thing. I did add 18 caps of Microbacter Starter and 1 vial of bioclean and biodigest by prodibio. I also added about 40 drops of ammonia.
While these numbers are higher than the actual tank volume (i used a tank volume of 60 gallons) I wanted to ensure there was enough bacteria to seed the tank and really be able to have a healthy starter colony of beneficial bacteria.
