I've been keeping rare freshwater fish for years, and had a saltwater fish only tank a while back. Currently i have 3 other freshwater tanks, with Geophagus, Angels, L# Plecos, and some other cool fish.
This year, i decided it was time to try a new project, a reef. The tank was setup in the beginning of February, and cycled fairly quickly. I had a blue damsel in there for a couple weeks just to make sure parameters are stable. It will be a learning process so stay tuned for updates and any advice is always appreciated
Tank/equipment:
standard 29 gallon tank
Seachem tidal 55 with filter floss, Chemipure Blue, and Seachem Matrix
2x Kessil A160we with spectral controller
Aqueon 150w Heater
Jebao Wavemaker
25 lbs of live rock
20lbs of arag alive sand
Red sea Coral pro salt
Cleanup crew:
1 astrea snail
2 margarita snils
2 red leg hermit
1 scarlet hermit
Coral:
1 tiny frag of Dreamweaver? Zoa's
Fish:
none yet
Any suggestions on lighting schedule and a cost effective ATO system? i was looking at a diy approach. Just wondering everyone uses on a such a small tank
