Hi! Newbie to the hobby here and looking for some stocking, aquascaping and general suggestions.
I have a Coralife 14 Gallon BioCube with stock lights (24w 10KWhite, 24w Actinic). All water values are good so far
My tank has been up and running for about a 6 weeks now. So far I have:
- removed the bioballs and false floors from chambers, replaced them with Eshopps Square foam, poly filter and Seachem Matrix Carbon.
- removed the elbow from the return pump. Installed mj900 pump.
- cut the tab between chambers 1 and 2
- removed the sponge from chamber 3 (pass between 2 and 3)
- installed Koralia Nano 240
- "Installed" a Coralife Biocube skimmer (probably not set correctly)
Stock (so far):
- 5 hermit crabs
- 3 snails
- 2 clown fish
- 1 Toadstool Mushroom (I think)
- 1 Frogspawn
- 1 Green Star Polyp
- 1 Banded Coral Shrimp
Questions:
- what corals would you add and where would you place them? (Current picture attached)
- would you move the powerhead? Where would you place it?
- what would you pick as your third fish?
- would you recommend moving the corals from their current spot?
- I need to keep the lid (toddler in the house). I'm considering gutting the lid and fitting a AI Prime HD. Any thoughts on this? Is it worth it?
All advise, comments and suggestions are welcome!!!
