So my tank has been up for a couple months now and I never started a chronicle, but better late than never right?? Unfortunately, I have no pictures of me setting it up, but I do have some of it while I was fighting some algae so I'll post those as well. I used to keep a small freshwater tank when I was a kid, but this is definitely my first saltwater. I am super excited about it! Currently, my tank includes:
55 gallon glass aquarium
Reef Octopus Classic 100 HOB Skimmer
2 Aquatop 660 gph powerheads
2500K Fluval Sea Pro Full Spectrum LED Marine and Reef Light
60 lbs live rock
80 lbs live sand
1 Green Chromis
1 Ocellaris Clownfish
1 Blue Hippo Tang
Green Star Polyps
Finger Leather Coral
CUC of various snails, hermits, an emerald crab, and brittle star
In order to put my light on a schedule, I need a WiFi adapter that Fluval makes, so I think that will be my next investment. At some point I would also like a torch coral, I think they look so cool! Any suggestions on other critters would be appreciated! I also would like to hear ways to possibly camouflage the ugly HOB skimmer and heater if anyone has any. And before it's said, a sump is not in the budget right now. haha.
