After 6 months from selling my 280 gallon saltwater tank, I am returning to the hobby. Yes, it wasn’t very long but life has been simplified and I can return my focus on a tank. The new tank is ¼ the size of my old one and I am definitely looking at more automation and if something goes wrong, being able to visit my LFS to obtain something that will work for the long run instead of just a temporary patch until I can get something fixed. So, the tank will be bare bottom and I hope to make the tank an SPS tank.
Here is a list of times that I have already purchased:
1 - Red Sea Refer 350 Deluxe (AI Hydra TwentySix HD LEDS included)
1 - Maxspect Gyre XF230 w/ Advance Controller
1 – Maxspect Gyre XF230 Pump Only
1 – Bubble Magus Curve 7
2 – MarinePure 8x8x4 Blocks
2 – AquaMaxx Fluidized Reactor
1 – AquaMaxx BioMaxx BioPellet Reactor
1 – Deepwater Aquatics BLDC8 DC Pump
1 – SpectraPure Standard 90 GPD RO/DI
1 – 100+ lbs Reef Cleaner Rock
2 – Eheim Jager Thermostat Heaters 150watt
1 – Aqua Medic Reefdoser Evo 4 dosing pump
1 – Aqua Medic Reefdoser Evo Add 4 Extention dosing pump
Question #1: Any recommendations on other equipment? Eventually will be buying a controller.
As for livestock. Not going to have a ton of fish but looking at fish that are easy and fun to watch. Here is what I am looking at:
1 – Yellow Candy Hogfish
1 – Starry Blenny
1 – Sixline Wrasse
1 – Kole Yellow Eye Tang
2 – Banggai Cardinalfish
2 – Chalk Bass
2 – Tracy’s Damselfish
Various Inverts – Skunk Cleaner Shrimp, Mexican Turbo Snails, Astraea Turbo Snails, Peppermint Shrimp, Banded Trouchus Snails, and Emerald Crabs
Question #2: Does anyone think this livestock could be problematic?
