Wretch's 54g Aqueon RR Corner Build

[Wretch]

Well I haven't posted anything on this tank for a long time but then nothing was really happening. Went through a bit of algae and still dealing with some diatoms but finally have water conditions where I want them. I hope.

Just picked up a couple fish from Oceanic Corals.



Was hard to get a good picture of the coral beauty its is much brighter in person.



These should be the last fish I add. Time to start filling in all the naked rock work.

Well thought I would post a few tank shots. I will have some equipment updates to come soon.

Hi,

I have a 92 gal corner tank situated in a corner of our front landing (too noisy for anywhere else).

I am wondering how you attached your powerheads. I can only use the old max-jets with suction cups because there is no access to the outsides of the corner walls of glass. The old maxi-jets have been discontinued and the new ones don't work at all. So, I don't know what to do to replace my Maxi's and they are getting older and noisier.

I wish I could be of some help but if you look at my first post my tank doesn't sit in a tight corner. So I am able to get down the sides and use magnets.

lol. Thanks. When I bought the tank they called it an Aqueon Reef Ready (RR) hadn't even heard of Reef Raft yet.

Awesome scape. Can't wait to see it fill in. Tagging along!

So I started to add some SPS to my tank and I figured I better get a doser cause I am kinda lazy and dont want to manual dose. I ordered a Jebao doser from fish-street last Monday and and it arrived last Thursday. I was also getting tired of using a 5 gallon bucket as my ATO reservoir. So I took a 10 gallon fish tank and fit it under the stand instead of the bucket. The tank didn't fit so I used to 2x4s to raise the tank and it fit perfect.



I finally got time to set the doser up today and everything seem to work great. I calibrated all 4 pumps and they all seem to be spot on. I programmed the first 2 pumps for Calcium and Alkalinity as I had them on hand. They are set to dose 12 times a day. Calcium will dose on all the odd hours and alkalinity on all the even hours.




The magnesium bottle is empty as I didn't have any magnesium chloride or sulphate on hand. I have to run out and get some as I am a little low after a water change. Magnesium at 1260.

Here is what my tank area looks like now. Only blue lights are on in the photo.




Now I just need to acquire a few more SPS frags.
