well, ive been here a few days and figured its time to start a tank journal.
My tank is a 75 gal with a 10 gal fuge. it started out as a 46 bowfront but was quickly upgraded. present lighting consists of a 4 bulb nova and a 2 bulb glo fixture. this weekend i ordered another 4 bulb nova and a mix of geissman bulbs. my setup is pretty basic since i really didnt have any direction other than books i had read in the library. i have 2 powerheads for water movement and a skimmer that needs to be upgraded.
tank Fish-
percula
maroon clown
coral beauty
mandarin
yellow tang
hippo tang
engineer goby
lawnmower
purple firefish
blue devil
red serpent star in the fuge
corals-
zoas-pinks,blues,radioactives,candy apple reds,AOG,darth maul and a few i dont know
elegance coral
green palays
tongue
xenia
green stripe shrooms and purple ones
neon green monti-this popped up out of nowhere
leathers
star polyps
clove polyps
caribean ricordia
about 70lbs of totaka and kaelini lr
clean up-
nasarius snails,turbo,blue leg herms,chitons
as far as additives, ive never done it because ive read good and bad and never really had anyone give personal advice for my tank other than what ive picked up online recently. so, i change about 10% of my water every 4 to 6 weeks. this seems to work for my tank at the moment but im sure there are many things i can do do make it better. thats why im here! im really looking forward to joining the reefer club and getting to know some of you.
the only products that go into my tank are alk with makeup water as needed and every 2 weeks about 5 mil of strontium and moly
foods consist of oyster feast,cyclopese, and a mix of clam,shrimp,mussels,fish that go into the blender. some gets pureed for the corals. i also feed phyto
