Good afternoon all!
I have recently set up my first FOWLR tank after converting from fresh to saltwater.
The tank is 180l, with plenty of LR
Protein skimmer
2 powerheads
1 common clown
1 black and white clown
1 royal gramma
4x micro hermit crabs
(Added gradually the last 3 weeks or so, not all at once)
I have been keeping an eye on my params every other day or so and all seems to be perfect.
Salinity - 1026 (sometimes reads 1025)
Ph - 8.3
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - under 10
Phosphate - between 0 and 0.5 but I need to buy a new test for this as it isn't very accurate
i have just ordered my upgraded lights from t8 to t5 (1x blue with 20,000 kelvin + 1x white 15000 kelvin)
I do not intend to add any further fish for a while until I've added a few corals and everything is all good for a month or so. When I do, does anyone have any recommendations for a good 'centrepiece' fish for this size tank? I would love a flame angel but i dont want to risk it eating all the corals!
Some of the corals I intend to add at first are
Mushrooms
Green star polyps
Yellow polyps
Xenia
Kenya tree
Do you think this will be ok?
Anything else i should consider doing or adding?
Thanks!
