Hello fellow reefers,
I’ve been away from the reefing hobby for a few years but started getting email advertisements from different coral farms…. Which lured me back in, so I’m sharing my new tank build.
It’s a Waterbox 20 cube AIO. The equipment upgrades are a bit overkill but here they are:
Eco tech Radion Xr 30 second gen. set to 30% max and running a lps and softie default template schedule.
Red Sea Wave 25 gyre powerhead set to 20% max and a random program.
Apex A3 controller.
I’m not using a skimmer, instead I’ll try to keep up with filter floss, chemipure blue when needed and 10% water changes every 2 weeks.
The end goal will be a zoa garden with mushrooms and a few toadstools. Maybe an lps or two but I’m not dosing for Ca, Alk, or Mag so I don’t want to get carried away with lps or sps.
The livestock list will be a pair of storm clown fish, a yashiba goby and a possum wrasse or six line wrasse. So four total fish. The invert list will be a few Trocus, Nasarius and Cerith snails, Halloween or blue hermit crabs and potentially a cleaner shrimp and blue tuxedo urchin. I may get a few peppermint shrimp now for aptasia that will eventually appear.
I’ve completed the nitrogen cycle. My local fish store is having a sale so I’m going to get a few corals and inverts and maybe a fish.
Thank for your interest and take care!
