Hey guys, I am new to this forum but I thought I would share the process.
First and foremost this will be a slow build as its being incorporated into basement reno's which I am doing myself.
I currently have a 125g 72"x18"x24" its a sump less set up running with a SWC HOB skimmer and a small undersized fluval canister filter with carbon and just live rock.
about 100lbs of live rock, LPS heavy
Livestock:
Yellow Tang
Mag Foxface
2 Percula Clowns
1 Onyx clown
6 line wrasse
scooter blenny
Orange spot goby
Skunk Cleaner
Coral Banded
Fighting Conch
2 flame tip bubble nems
Corals
Purple tip green frogspawn
green tip hammer
all green hammer
purple anchor
cup coral - green
green/pink acan
purple pink acan
Various Zoas
2 large toadstools
various duncans large and small
GSP
Colt coral
Finger leather
red w/purple spot mushrooms
some mushroom I got very cheap cause the store ripped it taking it out of the tank
2 species of lrg hairy mushroom
I'm probably missing some..you get the jist
Anyway you may have seen a post me selling everything, and that was the case, instead we decided go ahead and upgrade. I was never really happy not having a sump. Anyway I am incorporating it into the basement renos (yes I get my own fish room!!)
I'll let you all come along for the ride if you want
upgrading to a 60"x30"x12" (slightly less gallons) frag tank
So I will set up a shallow reef tank.
60 g Sump with a Vertex IN280 in sump skimmer
Return is a Jabao DC7000
for now I'm running a 6' Current USA T5/MH light, Looking for something similar at 5' over the next while.
Sorry there are no pictures right now. when I get home I'll take pics of the tank getting cleaned (and leak testing as its bought used)
Skimmer is in a bath of vinegar and water running to clean it up a little.
Be patient this will be a slow build thread. Looking forward to any advise of tips you have or wish to impart.
