Im very happy to be back in the hobby. A few years have passed and without a reef I feel something is missing.
I plan to build a mixed reef, but as my confidence increases I hope to go SPS dominant. I used to enjoy my softies and I will definitly have a few but my favorite tanks are the hardest to keep.
I will be implementing an automated water change system. The goal is to keep my hands out of the water. I will also be looking to add a sump down the road, but for now im going to keep it as simple as possible. I do have plans for another larger tank and this nano will likely tie into it.
Equipment ive accumulated so far:
Aqua Illumination Nano w/ Director - big thanks to Ryan aka Slimm
Vortech MP10
Fluval C2 HOB - floss, rubble, chemi-pure
Fluval Edge 25W heater
RODI unit w/ Brute can
So far I have caribsea sand and 7lb of rock. The rock was bought from a few different LFS and the tank is already alive.
Added water on 4/11 and after adding the rock ive tested ammonia at 1ppm. A small nitrite spike so im on my way.
Ive always trusted Reef Crystals and bought a bucket..
My first addition in a week or so(pending a few tests) will be a CUC and then a YWG or some kind of sand/rock dwelling mean mugging burrower.
Please comment and leave suggestions.
Thanks for viewing.
