Hello all! I just moved to a new house and am setting up a Waterbox 25 which I picked up from European aquatics. The tank had a cosmetic chip on the corner so it was a great deal! This will be my fourth reef tank so hopefully I can finally iron out all those newbie mistakes. I’m high school my first aquarium was a standard 15 gallon which was an absolute mess. Then I upgraded to a 38 gallon innovative marine with all the bells and whistles. Much more successful than the first. I then setup a little 9 gallon cube for my senior project which was a super fun little tank. Looking back I feel my main problem is over use of carbon and gfo along with over skimming. I would always bottom out my nitrate and phosphate. This tank I will be keeping super simple mostly softie and lps with a few sps. With that out of the way here’s my equipment.
Equipment:
Ai prime hd (the older version)
(Planned settings attached)
100 watt ehime jager
Jaebo sw-4
Stock return pump (a lot of complaints on this but so far it’s been great)
Intank filter floss holder ( ditched the filter sock)
20 lbs reef saver rock
Fiji pink sand 20 lbs
Aquavitro salinity salt mix from lfs
I’m honestly pretty happy with my aqua scape. I’ve never put the time in to use super glue to make an aquascape and I’m super happy with how it came out. The tank was setup yesterday so still cleaning up.
Planned livestock
Clownfish pair
Some sort of sand sifting goby
Long nose hawk fish
Hopefully a larger show fish like a leopard wrasse or baby tomini tang ( only will be setup for a year)
