Aquarium Advice Addict
Well it's not so much of a build from the start as a build from the middle. The tank has been running for around 4-6 months, is cycled and has corals. However this thread will be a journal following the rest of the tanks life .
Hardware
-Maxi-jet circulation pump rated at 110 GPH
- AC 20 with DIY surface skimmer and chaeto in both.
-Aqua-tech 10 gallon filter for mechanical filtration and surface agitation.
-Aqueon heater keeping a constant heat of about 78 *
- Glass lid to help evaporation.
- Par38 Rapid LED bulb.
Stock
- 2 Turbo Snails
- 1 Hermit
Corals
- Beautiful three mouthed ric, hopefully splitting soon.
- Colony of Eagle Eye zoas
- Two, isolated green button polyps.
- Random mushroom I got forever ago, however the rock has tonnes of caulerpa on it so i plan on removing the shroom and throwing the rock in my "pestish pico".
- 3 polyps of Radioactive Dragon Eye zoas
Current Issues
- Some hair algae, especially on the back glass. Turbos and water changes are decreasing this however.
- greenish tinted algae on sand, lack of flow, will upgrade powerhead soon.
Questions
- What should i stock this tank with, if anything at all.
Future Plans
- Possible new powerhead
- ATO system?
- Maybe an added on 10 Gal refugium
