Ikin Nave's Phantasm Cavern



 

4836920780_376cbb9c30.jpg

 

Up since July 02, 2010

Name comes from the fact that I see a ton of faces in my live rock. See this THIS thread for examples.

 

Equipment:

Biocube 29g & stand (got a great deal at Petsmart)

Marineland Stealth Visi-Therm Submersible Heater

Hydor Koralia 2

No protein skimmer yet

NO LIGHTING UPGRADE! This is my first foray into saltwater...I'm taking things slow & easy before I go all-balls-out. That's what my empty 55 gallon will be for...later, later. B)

Basic innards:

40 lbs of Nature's Ocean Bio-Activ Live Aragonite Reef Sand

25 lbs of live rock - Fiji, Haitian & Tonga

Instant Ocean salt

R/O water

 

Filtration:

Currently using chaeto & filter floss.

Bioballs are still in...I plan on removing them little by little.

I would REALLY like to add some plants for filtration (and look/color) into my tank so I'm researching that now. :)

 

Testing:

Instant Ocean Hydrometer (want to upgrade to refractometer - researching)

Rainbow Lifegard Little Time or Temp Digital Clock/Thermometer

API Reef Master Test Kit

 

Inverts:

5 Cerith Snails

5 Blue leg hermits

1 Red Pistol Shrimp

Hitchhikers - snails & bristleworms - I hate them! :(

Placing an order with reefcleaners.org within the next couple of days for more CUC & the abovementioned plants

 

Current fish:

2 True Percula Clownfish

1 Yellow Watchman Goby (paired with shrimp)

 

Future fish:

1 Royal Gramma

???????????????????

 

Corals, etc.:

1 Green Striped Mushroom

(dunno what kind the following 'shrooms are)

1 MIA Red

3 Purple & Green

1 Kenya Tree

Xenia

1 Feather Duster worm

Nice start. The faces kind of freak me out. Do the eyes follow you around the room? :)

 

;) Only the ones that have necks.
