Tank dimensions: 90x90x50 cms (35x35x20 inches)
Equipment:
Deltec MCE600 skimmer
Maxspect Razor 180W fixture
1 Jebao RW8, 1 Jebao RW4, 1 Coralbox QP9
300 watt heater
hang on refugium
36 Watt Jebao UV
1 Dosing pump and a 25 litres container for rodi water with kalk and vinegar.
The goal of this tank was to hold a group of 13 clowns, but an outburst of brooklynella right at the begining made it go in another direction.
Here's the setup process:
3 clowns survived and they are still in the tank.
There are over 30 sunburst bubbletip anemones in the tank, a huge orangedrop bubbletip that never splits (it must be close to 45cms diameter) and a heteractis magnifica (recent addition).
I don't like tanks where fish swim back and forth from one side of the tank to the other, it makes me look at the tank as a cage, so I selected the fish with this very much in mind:
- 3 clownfish
- 3 threadfin cardinals
- 2 yellow assessors
- 1 tomini tang
- 1 matted filefish
- 1 diamond goby
- 2 flame angels
The most common comment when someone sees the tank is "There's no fish in the aquarium, just plants?"
They are all hiding most of the time. I am trying to figure out a way to change that. The anemones are probably creating an hostile environment, maybe?
The maintenance schedule is very simple.
I fill the 25 liters rodi container with water, kalk and vineger and the dosing pump pushes 3 liters per night.
1 do 10% water changes every 10 days.
And that's it, I guess.
I am trying to find a way to get more open space, because the anemones keep splitting.
