Supaflyz wanted to see some SW/reef tanks so here goes mine...
I started this one about 4 months ago I guess and have been ignoring it since I think it's boring.
-JBJ Nanocube 12g DX
-Upgraded the lighting from 2x24w PC to 1x70HQI+2x18wPC
-Added a mini chiller
-Upgraded the stock pump to a MJ 900/Hydor flo output/CA30(similar to the mini-tunze)
-Rear chambers were stripped of what they came with and added tonga live rock to the first chamber, made a refugium in ch2 with Chaeto(microalgae to absorb nitrates/phos) along with the heater and ch3 has the pumps/chiller/temp probe/ATO
-Select flow surface skimmer installed
-Additional fans to help keep things stabalized on the temp side.
-R2 moonlighting along with rewired factory moonlighting
-JBJ AutoTopOff with aqualifter pump to refill with RO/DI water as it evaporates
-Series of analog timers on industrial power stip to automate everything on the tank and to simulate sunset/sunrise-daylight/night.
The tank is mainly Zoanthids which come in every color you could think of and some, there are other corals as well but mainly Zoas. Fish in the tank are gobies mainly with one being a Yashia goby which has a symbolic relationship with a pistol shrimp it's like watching a fish walk his dog everyday! The others are super tiny gobies which just look cool. My newest addition is a tiny Hippo tang which will be returned to the LFS or be moved into and upgraded tank when it puts on some size.
Here are the inhabitants
I have let this tank kinda go cause I think it's pretty boring compared to Trophs/planted tank/tangs/shrimp so the algae is kinda growing a bit but the good thing is that it's grape algae so it's not as bad as the pest algae that could be running ramp id in the tank.
Well if anyone else here has SW/Reef going on post some pictures and tells us about it!
