My last tank was a 34 Solana. It was doing great until I left home for a week on holiday. Feeding instructions were left, but the tank was overfed and it crashed. So I decided to take that opportunity to start a new build.
The idea behind this build is to have a frag tank that will be SPS only, and look nice enough in the living room to keep the wife happy. I am hoping some of the coral from the crashed Solana will recover.
Ok some system information"¦
