Here is my pride and joy...
It's a 6.25g rimless tank stuffed with macro
Being shortley obsessed with all the different types of macro available I figured I'd try my hand at a macro only tank.
I have been in the hobby for over 12 years and have had almost every coral imaginable. At the end of it all this is the most fun I've had. I had a recent macro tank before this one but it crashed due to the dumb idea I had of using tap water for extra nutrients for the algae. Not that it doesn't work for others but it didn't work for me everything got covered in algae in my tank and melted away.
System has been up since August.
Lights are a fluval plant led and a 10k 36w pc light
The back false wall holds a 100w heater and some filter pads with an 80gph return pump. Additional flow is covered by a Koralia nano. There's about roughly 20lbs of rock and 15 lbs of Carib sea live sand.
1 g water changes are performed weekly with 8 drops of Kent marine coral vite and using reef crystals salt with distilled water.. I feed 2 times a day once in the morning and night before lights off.
Light are on a timer for 10hrs per day.
Got about 18 different macros in this tiny gem and houses a royal grammar, yellow clown goby, peppermint shrimp, cerith snails and nassarius snails.
I sometimes battle a little cyano, I think I need more flow haha.
I moving in a month in which everything will be transferred over into a 29g tank
Hope you enjoy.. Let me know what you think
