sr-reef's 29 gallon tank build


Recommended Posts

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 :biggrin:

 

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
