VNghost's aqua japan 22 gallon first reef

[Vnghost]

I've also added dual locline outflow which makes the water disperse perfectly in my tank.

I also planned on using my jebo wp 25 but this tank maybe too small for that pump. I'm quite satisfied with my 2 koralia nano on a smart wave controller, so I will probably stick to that. Flow is pretty good through the tank now. I may just sell the wp25.

My tank has had major temp swings but after adding this DIY fan controller, tank has never went over 79f. I have it set to trip on at 79 and bring it to 77.

I also added a Rbta. It was doing great, until I added LEDs, he still getting use to it

And more pics for your pleasure

Oh yea, also added 2 fire fish goby a week ago, and a tail spot blenny today. They are very shy.

And for anyone who likes planted tanks I did a little rescaping.

Nice looking tanks.

Thanks guys.

I'm also in the middle of building a t5 Ho led combo. Hopefully it'll bring out more color in the corals

 

[Vnghost]

Rigged together a little t5ho led combo with my old fishneedit t5 and my Ai vega color

So what bulbs should I run? The ai vega is the main light, the t5 will only run 4 hours a day

This tank will be shut down soon and merged into my new build which is a 70 gallon cadlights. I will definitely miss this tank. My first reef tank and was successful. I never once tested the water and crammed 7 fish, a starfish, a clam, a cleaner shrimp, 20 hermits, 5 Astrea snails, and a bunch of other snails in this tiny tank. I over fed this tank everyday. I never measured the amount of purigen or GFO I put in just eyeballed it. And this tank stayed successful without any algae blooms or fish diseases. There is an unknown balance in this tank that is working for me and I hope I can achieve the same in the new tank.

Only easy sps like pocci and green birdsnest. My friend gave me his dieing birdnest and I got it to color back up. No dosing, nothing special at all just weekly water changes.

I haven't changed the water in 3 weeks because I've been super busy and working on the 70 gallon build. Starting to see red slime. Everything transferring over into the 70 gallon in 2 days.

Yea that's right *same here* poccis birdsnests no prob. Tried a red Mille and a Blue Tort- became a different story.

Yea I don't wanna get into crazy sps. Just don't have the time for the fancy stuff

 

[Mikhail85]

I thought when my poccis/birdsnests were taking off it was a green light for the fancy stuff but just stepped into a whole new learning realm.. sux! Cause I killed a lot . That's real smart of you to say that.. Big ups
