Testing can give you insight into what’s going on as well as peace of mind. WILL take care of your basic parameters and trace elements However. If you are planning on just doing Zoas and softies, for the time being, Regular water changes. So what’s the consensus of adding a few zoas to the tank in the next week? My goal is to have a nice zoa garden, some lps’s and a few euphyllias with the potential for sps corals in the future. Calcium and alkalinity checked out today at 7.9 alk and 347 calcium. I’ve been weekly monitoring the basic water chemistry with ammonia and nitrates reading 0 most of the time, ph has been a steady 8.2 and nitrates have recently stabilized at 10ppm and phosphates have been between. I’m thinking I may be close to ready for coral since it’s been exactly 2 months since I put water in the tank. Thanks to for the Hydra26 light and Santa Monica drop (although I haven’t set the drop up yet) for the jebao wave maker, and today I picked Hannah calcium and alkalinity checkers from It was great meeting all of you and looking forward to picking your brains in the future. Not much has changed in the last few weeks except that I did get a few goodies from fellow members. I just ordered a Hannah Phosphate checker so I haven’t tested them yet but my other parameters are as followed:Īny advise is much appreciated to helping make this a successful reef tank. So far I have 2 Percula Clowns and an assortment of about 15 hermit crabs and snails. The diatom bloom started about a week ago and I cut back the lights a few days ago and I can see some improvements.
I plan on possibly upgrading the light to a ReefLED 50 when I start adding corals in a month or 2 and getting rid of the stock light and adding a mesh top. If I can succeed in producing the tank I envision in my head, then I’d love to setup a 120 gallon in the future. I plan on keeping zoas, softies, and LPS’s and possibly one day be open to adding a few SPS’s at the top.
#Best wavemaker for biocube 32 pro#
I also got a 7lb bucket of Red Sea coral pro salt however I may move to the blue bucket after seeing how high it raises the alkalinity. The only things I added was chemipure elite in the media chamber and a Jebao SW2 powerhead. It seems like a nice kit so far and I was impressed with the rock that came with it although it didn’t seem too “live”. Last month I ordered an AIO biocube and had it filled with water right away.
