As I'm getting into my last year of school, I've decided to shut down my SPS tank. As a result its being sold along with all the stock in it.
However, I can't stay away from a reef tank... So I've decided to get an Aqua medic yasha to fill that need.
I've decided on a dominant soft coral tank, with a variety of coralliamorphs, ricordeas, zoanthids and a few other select pieces of Xenia and leather and star polyps etc...
I also want to have a go at trying a few NPS in the tank, maybe some small gorgonian and sun corals...
What I'm unsure of, is my dosing regime. Coming from a tank that pumps through calk and mag and zeo products, I'm certain I'm in for a change, but how much, I'm unsure of.
I'm unsure wether any additives will be necessary, because I will be doing a weekly 10-20% water change with ASW. I'm considering using reef roids to help with the NPS, and also wondering if phytoplankton or a product like Coral Vitalizer or Red Sea Energy A and B is necessary?
The only changes I'm planning to make t the tank is to just add a small amount of ROWA Phos and Rowa Carbon into the back section of the sump to keep the nutrients down a little, as I hate algae aha.
Is there anything else I'd need? I'm planning on just keeping a few snails for algae control, and maybe a peppermint shrimp or two, and one fish (any suggestions?)
Thanks in advance!
