Hey everyone! Getting excited to start my Waterbox 220 in the coming weeks! The tank is already in place and I’ve been gathering the following equipment:
Tank: Waterbox 220.6
Skimmer: Reef Octopus Regal 200 INT
Lighting: 3 G5 XR15 Pros and 2 G5 XR30s with the RMS mounts
Flow: 4 MP40s
Return Pump: Vectra L2
ATO: Tunze 3155
Heater: Two 300 Watt Eheim Jager
Heater controller: Inkbird controller
Upgraded to 6 stage BRS RODI system
Neptune Apex: EB832
Neptune Trident
Neptune DOS for Auto water changes
Two 55 gallon Brute containers for RODI and Auto water changes
120 pounds of dry rock (plus about 60 from my existing tank)
I hand dose for now, but probably will not be able to keep up at a certain point as I am almost quadrupling my water volume. I plan to explore Kalkwasser or just straight dosing TM all for reef!
I’ll be building a rock scape in the coming week! I will be building from dry rock, but using all of the existing rock in my RedSea 250 to seed bacteria. I will be rinsing the sand pure with tap water and giving it a salt water rinse before entering the new tank. I will also be transferring the current stock from my 250 with my existing coral:
Juvenile Hippo Tang
Two larger clowns
Blue chromis
Watchman goby
I plan on building a 60 gallon frag tank down the road that I plumb into the sump at some point! I’ll add pictures in the next few posts! Thanks for following along!!!
