I am hoping to create a reef tank, I currently have 20KG of fully mature live rock, as well as a broken 250W halide . . . damn Ebay! For temporary lighting I have a small 70W RX7 6500K halide. This is going to be a semi-aggressive tank with some unusual fish.
The dimensions are as follows - 36"L, 18"H, 15"D. I will have my images up later tonight, I won't forget.
My equipment and supplies include:
API Saltwater Master Test Kit
Instant Ocean Hydrometer
1x koralia 2
1x koralia 3
TetraTec EX 1200 External (Filter Floss/Sponge Pad)
Fluval Tronic 200W Heater
500ml SeaChem Prime Dechlorinator
Instant Ocean Sea Salt
My stock is as follows -
3x Halloween Hermits
Scarlet Hawkfish (Flame Hawk)
My future stock -
Fu Manchu Lionfish
Leaf Scorpion Fish (Taenianotus Triacanthus)
Possible angler (any suggestions?)
Golden Dwarf Moray
My parameters are as follows - almost perfect! (since 21st Oct)
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 20 PPM (Water change tonight!)
PH: 8.2
My Scarlet Hawk is arriving Tuesday hopefully, and I shall order more of my CUC the same week, which will consist of six Cerith Snails, five Turbo Snails, and possibly a Brittle Star. My tank has now been running for around three to four weeks, since the live rock was well established, I have made the decision to put in my first fish. The live rock came with several hitch hikers, turbo's, asterina star's, mushrooms ( I think) - and other odd bits and bobs.
I'm not using RO water by the way, don't all yell at me at once.
------------ Picture time!
You'll have to excuse the quality, these were taken on my phone, since the bloody camera was stolen. But the pictures are actually not too bad for a phone I think.
Heating the water, and checking the equipment.
My live rock, after transportation.
Re-arranged the rock work.
Mushroom?
Halloween hermit, amazing colour.
Just the T5's.
After removing the halide lamp, it fell apart in my hands . . . now that's what i call quality!
I'm re-arranging the rocks again shortly, since it looks appalling.
Just thought i'd add a picture of Jubb-Jubb for good measure.
