Hello all! I’m Jess and I’ll be tracking my Redsea max e-170 build here. Little backstory, I kept both salt and fresh for a lot of years but it was all mostly second hand, cobbled together stuff. I decided to invest in a nicer system to build on and here we are.
Tank: Redsea Max E-170, so far with in the box lighting and setup.
Sump: 11 gallon Redsea in cabinet system. I’m planning on a roller filter and macro algae.
Planned stocking: clownfish, Banggai Cardinal, royal gamma, blue mandarin (aiming for all captive bred, and adding fish as the tank matures over time).
Maybe? Coral Beauty
Coral: simple simple, mushrooms, zoas, and Montipora.
My water is from a well surrounded by farm ground and the house has a filtration system installed. I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with running a reef tank off that.
The tank’s in its spot, still waiting on the sump, salt, rocks, sand, and multiple other items. I’ll keep track of the progress here I’m aiming for a simple, low maintenance system with a nice visual impact.
