Reef (30 gal) – Retired

by on Mar.02, 2009, under Reef (30 gal) - Retired

INACTIVE

This is my 8 month old LPS & SPS 30 gallon hex reef tank. I use Reef Crystals salt & RODI for weekly 15% water changes. I recently switched from Instant Ocean which had a lower calcium content.

  • I recently began dosing calcium in this tank and have seen an explosion of coraline algae growth.
  • Remora Protein Skimmer – Cleaned weekly-biweekly & get nice dark skimmate.
  • There’s a 2.5 gallon HOB CPR refugium that is home to live rock, bristle worms, tons of pods, brittle starfish, a mushroom colony, nassarius snails and chaeto which is used to export nitrates and phosphates. The lights run opposite the DT to help stabalize PH.
  • 150 Watt Viper MH Clamp-style lamp (15k)
  • Powerbrite LED lights
  • Several Koralia pumps burried in rock work & elsewhere.

Inhabitants include

  • Fish- Ocellaris Clown, Pajama Cardinal, Zebra Bar Goby, Yellow Watchman Goby
  • Inverts- Blue-legged Hermit Crabs, Unidentified Crab, Emerald Crab, Nassarius Snails, Stoma Snails, Bristle Worms, Brittle Star Fish, Feather Dusters
  • Corals- Frogspawn, Hammers, Palys, Zoas, Polyps, Clove Polyps, Ricordea Mushroom, Trumpet Coral, Monti’s, Acros, Acans & more…
