25g Lagoon upgrade

Yes I do.



My biggest questions are the setup for the filtration and everything that goes with that. I had a biocube a few years back and spent a small fortune trying to get it correct. Eventually the tank started to leak so I sold off everything.

My setup is pretty basic! The only mechanical filtration I have is a piece of filter floss I switch out every 3-4 days. It's housed in the intank media basket. Below that is a bag of purigen. ( it needs to be recharged). The chamber next to it is where I have my fuge basket with a big chunk of chaeto. Housed in the intank fuge basket for easy removal when I trim it. It's literally full of pods, sponges and bristleworms. I have a minimax media reactor with GFO in the other chamber since I have issues with bubble algae and that's it! ~4 gallon water change every two weeks and boom. I would say biggest thing is keeping alk and calcium stable. I use one BRS 1.1 ml doser to dose alk and I manually dose calc every few days

Update on my tank. Took the fuge basket and gfo reactor offline since I've been dosing vibrant. Seems to do a pretty decent job killing off nuisance algae. I might put gfo reactor back online however. Some fun shots of my tank with a wide angle and fish eye lens

Tank update everything is happy except my bubblegum digi. Been scratching my head why for a month now. I'll show off some of my zoa garden today [emoji16]

Nice setup, but doesn't the heater fit in the back of the overflow?
