hey everyone. i finally decided it was time for me to upgrade my 15 gal nano tank to a larger one. i decided on a 30 gal long. i prefer a longer lay out vs a taller one. i transferred over my live rock but went with new sand. i had the tank running about a week before transfering over my fish. i only had a single clown in the 15 and a few snails and hermits. everyone made the transfer. i bought 25 more pounds of rock to go with my existing 20. this tank will be a mixed reef. im still deciding on my stocking list. but here is my set up thus far:
30 gal tank
penguin 350 HOB filter filled with live rock
2 powerheads pushing about 800 gph of flow.
have a prism HOB skimmer (pretty useless to be honest)
jager 150 watt heater
quad t5 fixture 156 watt with moon lights.
i am currenlty building a 15 gal sump. and i am looking to upgrade to a bubble magus 5 protein skimmer. the sump will also have a fuge in it. i already purchased a rio 2100 return pump and a aqueon overflow. i plan on running about 10 pounds of live rock in the sump and some kind of cheato. current stock list:
1 perc clown
1 royal gramma
5 hermit crabs
2 turbo snails
i have a handful of different corals
maxi mini anenome
ricordia
a few mushrooms
GSP
kenya tree
leather coral
galaxy coral
pipe organ coral
misc zoos
im sure there are a few i am missing. i am planning on building up the center of the tank with liverock once i get the HOB filter out. i am looking for some more stocking ideas. im just really not sure what else to put in it. the only thing i want right now is a yellow clown goby. which i may be getting very soon. but enough rambling on. here are some pics
hope everyone enjoys. as always i am open to any and all suggestions about the tank. most of the corals are just set in the tank right now. it will all be moving around. just havent decided on a scape yet.
