- Size: 26g bowfront with 10g sump/fuge
- Equipments which would include lightings, skimmers, etc: Finnex 150w MH + 36W actinics, AquaC Remora skimmer, Rio 1400 return pump, and 2x MJ400 pumps for water movement. I have a Tunze Nanostream on order, as well as a Reefkeeper 2 (I was hoping to have those in by today!)
- Live stocks: Fish - 2 true percula, 1 yellow watchman goby, 1 purple firefish, 1 tiny blue hippo tang, 1 carpenters flasher wrasse. Coral: zoanthids (baby pinks, armaggedons, fire in the sky, and atomic greens), euphyllia (branching frogspawn & wall hammer), mushrooms (red & blue, pink fuzzy tongas, and pink/purple florida ricordea), SPS (frags: red monti caps & [new] tricolor acropora), LPS (red cynarina, trumpet, orange tubastrea), other: two crocea clams (5" and [new] 2"), green star polyps, & waving hand xenia.
- Filtration method: water goes from the overflow box (drilled) to the sump beneath the tank. It first falls onto a sheet of filter floss that is replaced every 2-3 days, is then sucked up by the Remora skimmer, and then passed over the fuge with chaeto and live rock rubble, and is then pumped back into the tank via a Rio 1400 pump. I do have a Quiet One 2200 pump to replace this, will be done this weekend.
- Additives and marine salt used: Reef Crystals brand sea salt used, 5 gals water change every week. I dose kalk in the top off water, which is bottled RO water.
- Feeding regime: I feed Forumla 2 small pellets daily, and spot feed cyclopeeze, reef chili, and fresh phytoplankton all 1-2 times a week.
