Hello,
Just wanted to start my own tank thread. Like I said in another post, I purchased a RSM 130 setup for $300. Made a few changes to the rig. Changed out both fans in the hood and purchased the external fan for the back. Now they are super efficient and QUIET. Added about 2 inches of tubing to both return pumps and got a new skimmer attachment for the intake. Purchased new lights. Ordered a float switch for a Auto Top Off I'm going to make.
The tank currently has 2 bags of black live sand and about 32 lbs of live rock.
I used Stability for the first seven days and then added three green chromis. One Chrom has died but the other two are doing GREAT, very active and eating well.I'm running the basic filtration with carbon. I am not currently running the skimmer, I think I will run it once or twice a month for a few hours each time.
Salinity = 1.023
Temp = Its fluctuating between 78 - 81
Ammonia = pic below
Nitrates = pic below
My next purchase will be on a CUC in a few days. I really liked Mexican Turbo Snails in my last setup so I will probably get 4 or 5 of them
I'm not 100% sold on the aquascaping, lmk if you guys like it or have any suggestions.
