Alright, here it comes, my first reef tank and we are going big!
3 displays commonly sumped. A 60 gallon cube for reef with caution fish. A 120 gallon community reef and another 60 gallon cube for a mantis shrimp.
I know the mantis and the reef with caution fish can be messy eaters, so may have to go to separate sumps. Will isolate down the road if necessary. Stocking slowly should let us stay ahead of things if it becomes an issue.
We are not wet yet.
We just got our BRS 7 stage RODI system running. That was a cool project by itself.
We also made our first batch of saltwater and are cycling 3 blocks of marine pure 8x8x4 and dosing ammonia and monitoring with a seneye.
Finally we are working on our aquascape. Pictures attached of the main bones of our nsa. We are going to add more habitat and close them up a bit still. But this is the main bones so far.
Tanks will be ordered soon and we are having a stand built. Electrical and structural are in the works as well.
Probably another month or so till our tanks are wet.
Then we will start our fallow for rocks and sand and start our clown and CUC QT.
Should be an interesting journey.
