hey guys,
I created my self introduction thread earlier and figured i would copy my tank specs and water parameters over from that thread:
photos of tank in this thread: http://ift.tt/1FB92cL
as far as tank specs goes:
29 gallon tall fluval tank
cpr bak pak 2r+ (no bio bale) with accela pump (266 gph) skimming wet
fluval c3 power filter (just running polyester, replaced daily)
1 sicce xstream 925 gph wave pump (aimed through rock 'tunnel')
1 sicce xstream 1320 gph wave pump (pointed at skimmer intake)
fluval m24 25W marine and reef led
aquatic life dual 24W t5 with one 420 actinic and one 10000k (i have blue actinic bulbs as spares, wondering if i should switch out the 10000k for one of them, let me know what you guys think)
pvc rock "tunnel" (pics posted in thread linked above)
6-stage RO/DI from filter direct (AR-122 i believe) 120 gpd
water parameters:
nh3/nh4 - BTR (below testable range) test bottoms out at .1 ppm
no2 - BTR test bottoms out at .1 ppm
no3 - BTR test bottoms out at 5 ppm, colour matches the 'zero' square
ph - 8.3-8.5
po4 - BTR (I'm not fooled)
Mg - 1360 ppm
alkalinity - 3.1 Meq/l 8.7 dKH
Ca - 410 ppm
am i missing anything?
tank has been up and running/cycling since april 8th, looking to get a small pair of clownfish perhaps next week (am i nuts? is this a good idea?)
I was told fish should be introduced and then the tank allowed to cycle again if need be before thinking about introducing corals, what are your opinions?
currently the only livestock in the tank is bacteria and some hitch hikers from the live rock (about 60 percent dry caribsea life rock and 40 percent LR from the local stores tanks). brittle stars and such.
