Welp, I got my first tank wet about a month ago. I needed a QT tank so I decided to just upgrade the tank and make the 5.5 gallon the QT tank.
The tank I got is an Aquamaxx 17 gallon rimless low iron. It's really beautiful. The build quality is perfection. Also, it's size is perfect to fit on our kitchen bar.
Equipment list:
Aqueon Pro 150W heater
Hydor Koralia 240
Aquaclear 70 with Purigen and Biomax
Ai prime about 8" above water
Red Sea Coral Pro Salt + Ro/Di water
Live Stock:
Tiger Pistol Shrimp
Rose Bubble Tip Anemone
Corals:
Eagle Eye Zoas
Purple Stylophora
Transferring the tank was a little bit nerve wracking because everything was going so well in the previous tank. I let the new tank cycle and then one afternoon I pretty much just moved everything over. I acclimated the anemone and shrimp and took my time with them. It's been about 48 hours and no casualties. Ammonia and Nitrites are 0 and Nitrates are 5-10.
