Hey everybody! Just got my new 30L in and setup!! I would say I have slightly more than beginner experience but not much more than that. I plan on having “easier” or “lower maintenance” corals for now probably softies and Lps until I get that sps itch ‍ I’ll be asking plenty of newbie questions and looking for opinions I have thick skin and a thicker skull so hit me with the facts blunt and upfront!

equipment list:
-30L Nuvo fusion with Aps stand
- Stock mighty jet 538gph return pump
-Titanium 100W heater and cooling fan with inkbird controller
-2 AI prime HD’s
- Nero 3 powerhead
- Tunze ATO 3155

Future additions:
- 4 stage Ro/Di
- new media racks
- second return pump
- maybe skimmer

stock wish list:
-clown pair
- regal/hippo tang
- yellow watchman gobble and pistol shrimp

Will be working on the aqua scape this week and will update as I go!

Update on the build. Doser pump came in today and is fully installed and calibrated. I run my ato through the doser. How I did this is as followed.
40gal loses .5gal a day to evap. So 40 x .5 /100 = 1.25% a day. 30 x 1.25 /100 = .375 gal or 1419.529 ml a day. Rounded to 1420ml divided by 10 142ml .... 24 /10 is 2.4hrs ... 60 x40 / 100 is 24 minutes so you should dose 142ml every 2 hours 24 minutes. Starting at midnight this is what happens. Now at the 10th spot you would be dosing twice so I decided to dose at 11 and at 12 am. This makes it 10 times a day for 142ml or 1420ml a day. I will be monitoring my salinity for the next 5 days checking it regularly for 1.025. Also checking the level in the pump baffle to see if level maintains. Let me know what you think.

Welcome to R2R! Looking forward to seeing what you add to the tank once it cycles.

Updated my dosing times. I mis calculated one time which threw everything off time wise. Now it doses every 2.4 hours starting at midnight and ending on midnight. Perfect.
