My previous tank was a 120l Aquaone, after 2 years of saying we can’t get that fish to my wife favourite fish (angels) we spotted an unbelievably good deal on a waterbox 8ft monstrosity.
After measuring the area we concluded that it needed to be a smaller and looked at the Neptunian, particularly liking the invisible weir and the sump design, aluminium stand and plastic panels and doors. So hopefully this will last longer, as the Aquaone stand looked a right state after 2 years of high humidity.
Equipment.
2 x Radion G6 pros xr15
Bubble Magus extreme 7
DD titanium heaters 600w x 2
2 x Jecod SOW 4
Sicce ADV 10 return pump
Ozone generator weipro et200
Some media in bags, bio blocks.
I have a few goals for this tank:
Keep hands out of the display as much as possible.
Own some of the nicer fish that are available.
Softie and LPS only.
Fewer corals that grow to be big colonies, kinda done the same in my garden and it looks better for it, hoping that transfers into a tank.
Minimal maintenance requirements. 1-2 hours a week max.
Not get over run with bubble algae.
Better aquascaping that provides habitat and maximises flow.
Livestock.
OG’s
2 x Clownfish
1 x Bangaii Cardinal
1x Algae Blenny
1 x Peppermint shrimp
1 x Conch
Handful of snails
GSP, Zoas, Kenya tree, toadstool leather mushroom, clove polyps.
New additions.
1 x Fox faced Rabbitfish
1 x Moorish Idol
1x Bella Goby
1 x Cleaner Shrimp
1 x Green emerald crab
1x Coral Beauty
1 x Blue powder tang
