So I wanted to share my progress but also get some advice on the next steps, I am currently about 6 weeks into my new set up and tank cycle, reef tank intentions. I have a 55 gal tank, running V2 600 skimmer and have 2 koralia pumps (not sure of exact model but not the nano ones). Live sand bed approx 1 inch and 20kg of live rock with 10kg of lava base rock.
Levels so far are, PH 8.3, Temp 27 degrees, Salinity 1.024, Nitrates 0, Nitrites 0, Amonia <0.1.
This weekend was planning my first additions and am all but decided on a pair of common clowns, spotted cardinal and 2 turbo snails. What does everyone think?
Was then looking for a 'coral for beginners' and further suggestions on CUC, was ideally looking for something to unsettle the sand bed? Adding in a few weeks time....
Thanks in advance for any comments or welcome suggestions!
