Equipment:
A 75 gallon tank, with a 20 gallon sump. Sen 700 for sump return connected to a 1" Sea Swirl, and a Sen 700 feeding an ETS ReefDevil 3 skimmer. Also in the sump is a Computherm 300w heater, a ground probe, and a Micro-Jet MC-430 powerhead which feeds a K2R calcium reactor. Lighting needs provided by (2) 250w Iwasaki 6500k metal halide bulbs (PFO dual 250w ballast), and (2) 110w VHO actinic bulbs (Icecap 660 ballast). In the tank are (2) Hagen Aquaclear 802 and (2) Maxi-Jet 1200 powerheads, connected to a
Red Sea Wavemaster Pro wave maker.
Bio-filtration:
Approximately 100 lbs. of live rock (mixed Fiji & Tonga), and 100 lbs. of live sand from various sources. A "Detritivore Kit" (Inland Aquatics), and tiny white brittle stars (IPSF) were added to the system.
Water Parameters:
I maintain 35 PPT salinity (measured via SPER Scientific temp compensating refractometer), at ~82°f. Ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate are all unreadable. Calcium normally runs about 450 PPM, and alkalinity varies between 11-12° dKH.
Fish:
Only a few. A
Red Sea Purple Tang (Zebrasoma xanthurus), Royal Gramma (Gramma loreto), Redlip Blenny (Ophioblennius atlanticus), Fijian Bi-Color Foxface (Siganus uspi), and (3) Green Clown Goby (Gobiodon histrio).
Corals:
Mostly Acropora and other SPS. Too many to list.
