I finally have my first reef running like I want. I’m considering this the official start because I had to take everything out and reseal the tank. While I had it out in the garage I decided to leave the sand out and black out the back and part of each side to match the overflow weir. I got the tank second hand already running and the water parameters were in bad shape. I now have the parameters in check but have to get hair algae under control. I am running a 6 bulb t5 fixture.
May current stock in the tank is as follows:
fish/inverts
-ocellaris clown
-Bangai cardinal
-pinkbar goby
-arc eye hawkfish
-skunk cleaner shrimp
corals
-Indo blue disco mushroom
-neon green rhodactis mushroom
-sunny d zoas
-arctic ice zoas
-candy cane coral
-pulsing Xenia
- green star polyp
I’ve been thinking about a tuxedo urchin and some more hermits for additional cuc. I’m open to suggestions and recommendations for my next additions for fish and corals
