Good afternoon fellow reefers,
I had several saltwater tanks from 2005-2010 ranging from a 75 Gallon that was up and running for 5 years; 14 Gallon biocube that was running for 3 years with a shared sump.
I did not have ANY tanks from 2010 to well 17 days ok. I spent about 2 months buying everything to not effect my wallet as much as a large hit all at once.
Basically this time around I'm much wiser and more patient then in the past.
I bought a CoraLife 29 Gallon Biocube. Here are some things I have done to it.
---InTank Media Basket - with below stuff
filter floss - Carbon matrix - Purigen - and ChemiPure - sponge
---InTank Refugium - trying to find chaeto for it / may have found a local place
---JBJ 4 LED light for refugium
---100 Watt heater - went a tad larger than needed house is rather chilly
---Project Reef Rock 2.1 (55LB) used half of it
---30 LBS of Fiji Pink
---2 450 Nano Power heads - they make a large thunk when they cycle on with the wave maker - will be changing this in the near future.
---NO fish or coral yet
---ProLEDsupply lights on the way I think they get here today.
---2 extra moon lights. blue
---APC backup battery
---4 Timers
1 for day blue
1 for day white
1 for night blue
1 for refugium light
will be adding one for wave maker. or going to get a gyre instead cant decide.
I have the tank sitting at 80°F
all levels are very low to none at all
no algae growth yet
BUT either way just wanted to introduce myself
Name is Stephen and Happy to be here. I will take pictures here soon - once my powerheads are aimed correctly and I stop getting bare glass.
