Papa's Setup


Hey All,

This is my first post. My grandsom Gil turned me on to the hobby and helped me set up my first system about 8 weeks or so ago. I'm 68 years old and absolutely loving this!

Anyway, here are my tank specs. Let me know if I miss something.

Size: 125g 72x24x18 with twin baffles built in.
Type: Fish Only w/ Live Rock (approx 100lb of Live Rock)
Substrate: Deep Crushed Coral, fine grade. Approx 4 inch sandbed

Lighting: T5 system with reflectors. 2 Day, 2 Actinic. 9 hours timed
LED: Moon Cycling LED lights

Large sump with bioballs and carbon filters.
Protein Skimmer
Auto Top off system from RODI reservoir linked to ATO going downstairs.

Salinity: 1.025
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 0-20 ppm depending on when water was last changed


Not sure what else I need to report on. Let me know if I missed anything.
Since I'm new I would LOVE any advice and encouragement I can get. Gil tells me you guys are the best.

Papa

Welcome to TRT Papa!!!

It sounds like Gils got you going in the right direction with a nice large tank.

Please make yourself at home here and if you have any questions at all do not be afraid to post them in one of the forum topics that fits.

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky went hunting? Well anyway, Brasky decides he's gonna hunt down all four members of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all beg for their lives, except Fleagul.
