Good morning everybody.
I just started this wonderful hobby and thought I would join this font of knowledge as a humble peon with great aspirations.
Current setup-
36 gallon bowfront glass tank
200 watt heater
40 lbs live rock, mixed fiji / tonga branch with lots of goodies
3 inch aragonite sand bed
30" coralife PC lighting fixture, the generic daylight/actinic/LED setup
one maxijet 1200, one maxijet 600
ehiem ecco canister filter with media removed for flow
one CPR BakPak 2 w/ the bale removed
Bugs and Stuff:
4 turbo snails
3 astrea snails
3 red legged hermits
3 blue legged hermits
3 left handed hermits
1 green chromis
Tank's chem is hanging out currently at 1.23 at 75 deg F, calcium approx 450ppm, 0 ammonia 0 trites 0 trates, alkalinity is good
I'm currently using Instant Ocean Salt and B-Ionic calicum buffer/supplement.
I have a bit of a green/brown algae problem that I'm combatting by only using distilled water (up until yesterdxay I was using tap, I won't lie - feeding the problem wasn't too bright)
So whaddya guys and gals think? Off to a good start?
Hope to talk to all of you folks at one point or another.
Peace,
M
