![]() Hey all,
Figured I'd give an update on my 20 gallon tank. I hadn't really made a tank journal, and previously just posted a couple inhabitants that I had in the setup. So I figured I'd post up what I had, have accomplished and my plans for the future. Equipment: 20gal standard dimensions AC70 with a fuge mod HOB eshoppes skimmer Radion LED (Previously Mazzara Maxspec) Koralia 240 powerhead Hydor 180 powerhead Marineland heater Livestock: Normal CUC Skunk Cleaner Shrimp 6 line wrasse 2 clowns 1 blue chromis Coral: Open Brain Duncans 2 favias hammer frog spawn armor of god zoas radioactive dragon eye zoas blue/green acans Red/pink acans plate coral blue candy canes blue/purple candy canes Monti pora Crocea clam pink birdsnest birdsnest with blue polyps green milli large acro Tri colored acro Current Params: Salinity 1.025 pH 8.2 temp 78 Mg 1340 Ca 445 dKh 8.55 Salt brand I'm using is Red Sea Coral Pro So everything was running pretty good until I moved to a new house and had to move the tank. When I moved it, I had a major cyano outbreak on the sand, but didn't see any issues to the livestock with it, just an unsightly red covering of the nice white sand I have..lol I also have a tri colored acro that got knocked off a rock and fell upside down while I was away on holidays (i know i should have had it plastered down, I do now..lol) I currently dose Ca and Alk daily, and MG once every 3 days. I plan on purchasing a dosing pump, as I don't mind adding manually, however I plan on upgrading to a larger tank in the future, so i'm being really careful on the products that I buy, as I would like to use them with the future setup. Other than that, I skim pretty dry, so i only empty the cup when I do my water change. I do a water change every week, which is around 20-25% of the total tank volume. Here's some pics so enjoy. Oh and as you can tell, I have no idea how to add my photos to embed them..lol http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...ium/FTS_2_.jpg http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...m/Brain111.jpg http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...snest:clam.jpg http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...cans:Plate.jpg http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...:birdsnest.jpg http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...nging_SPS_.jpg http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...um/Duncans.jpg http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...:Candycane.jpg http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...edium/fuge.jpg http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...ium/Hammer.jpg http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...dium/Milli.jpg http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...dium/Monti.jpg http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat.../Red_Acans.jpg http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat.../sideshot2.jpg Last edited by 04V10; 11-21-2012 at 04:22 AM. |
