Its probably a little early to start a tank journal considering it'll still be a couple weeks before the tank sees water but I received a bunch of equipment from MarineDepot today and was too excited not to post something This will be my first saltwater tank so I'm sure there will be some speedbumps along the way, but the goal is to create a low maintance, low impact reef/Zoa garden.
Planned Stocking:
2 Tank-Bred Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris)
1 Tank-Bred Neon Goby (Elacatinus oceanops)
1 Blue Spotted Jawfish (Opistognathus rosenblatti)
1 Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis)
?? misc hermit crabs & snails for "clean-up crew"
Mix of Various Zoas & Palys
2-3 ORA Aquacultured Long Polyp Leather (Sarcophyton sp.)
1 Aquacultured Neon Green Palau Nephthea (Nephthea sp.)
Equipment:
Skimmer - AquaMaxx HOB-1
Lighting - 20" Current USA Nova Extreme Pro T5HO 6x18W
Heating - Hydor Theo 200W
Circulation - ?
Just need to pick up some odds and ends (heater, thermometer, powerheads, backround, etc) and maybe replace the stand's glass door with something a little safer for my 10 month old. Then the excitement can begin :thumbsup:
