Though I have had an active aquarium over the last 10 years, I haven't been able to dedicate time to really caring for it. Teenagers and starting/running a business stuff. Not to mention I got infested with majanos and lost the battle. I got rid of my 150 gallon reef, started a small 25 gallon during covid, and I am jumping back in to a full reef. I have limited space in my office, but I was able to get the following up and going:
- Red Sea 200XL G2+ (42 gallon display and 11 gallon sump)
Running the following equipment:
- RSK-300 Skimmer
- (2) Reef wave 25 gyres
- 250 Reef Matt
- 4 pump doser
- (2) AI Prime Lights
Amazingly, I was able to get everything to fit under the stand with a little room for the dosing bottles and minimal tools and test kits.
I plumbed to the basement and have two 55 gallon brut cans. One with 4-stage RODI water on a float and the other with heated salt water. I also plumbed the aquarium so that I can pump out water to the basement drain and fill from the salt container in the basement. Water changes should be as easy as controlling a couple of plugs.
The tank was filled this weekend, currently cycling with the Brightwell cycle start system.
It will be SPS only a few fish and inverts. Here is my current list of fish:
Looking for any suggestions. Also looking for a diverse SPS garden with montiporo, branching, plating, and others.
