Hi All
I've been keeping fresh & salt tanks for years but this is my first reef. It's a 30 gallon hex with 150W of MH light (12 hours daily) w/ moonlights (the other 12 hours), an in-tank refugium, remora protein skimmer, powerheads, etc. The LR, LS & water came from a 1 year old reef that someone was breaking down. I'm looking to get any advice I can get...powerhead placement, light, refuge, inhabs...coral placement..anything. I've been running the tank for just 3 months now.
Pics at bottom of post.
I couldn't figure out how to upload pics that were small enough but still identifiable so here's the link to my page...http://aquarium-blog.com (I use this site to keep track of what I do)
Inhabitants
Ocellaris Clown
Zebra Goby
Pajama Cardinal
Peppermint Shrimp
Hermit Crabs (small)
Emerald Crabs
Zoanathids
Bubble-Tip Anemone's (2-I think mine split in 2)
Favia Coral
Various mushroom
Duncan Coral
Brain Coral
Blue Xenia?
Ricordea
Yellow-Green Polyps
Feather Duster
Branch Coral?
Refuge:
Chaeto
Live Rock
Marine Bio-sediment
Copepods
