jtwisconsin Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Congrats on TOTM! I have been contemplating upgrading my 6-gallon office tank to something larger and taking down my tank at home. I just have never been happy with the larger tank, the 6-gallon is just a little too small, and I'm tired of maintaining two tanks. I think I am ready to pull the trigger on a Fusion 20 this month. Any advice for a prospective new owner, or anything you would change from your current setup if you were starting over? 1 Quote Link to comment

I just have never been happy with the larger tank, the 6-gallon is just a little too small, and I'm tired of maintaining two tanks. I think I am ready to pull the trigger on a Fusion 20 this month. Any advice for a prospective new owner, or anything you would change from your current setup if you were starting over? First things first... Go Badgers. I really like the Fusion 20 and haven't heard from any others that they haven't been pleased with it. The media baskets that come with them are junk. Trash those and get the intank baskets for it. Aside from that it all really depends on what you plan to stock. The return pump and lights could be just fine for some softies and a couple LPS but if you want more demanding LPS or SPS you'll want to think about upgrading the return and light. I'm not sure I would change anything if I had to do it over. I've added all my equipment/tank upgrades slowly over time and did a lot of research prior- so no impulse equipment purchases. I do still go back and forth on a skimmer. My parameters and nutrients are always really steady so I have no reason to really use one but in the back of my head I am always pretty surprised. I have been spending more time doing water changes from the back chambers to siphon out all the nasty that accumulates back there. Its pretty insane. With a new tank, I doubt you will see this for several months but if you forget about it, it could definitely sneak up on you and be a problem. Good luck. Hit me up if you have any questions. 2 Quote Link to comment
jtwisconsin Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 That sounds awesome! The Fusion will be my fifth reef tank, but the others have just been just LPS and softies. I want to take the next step towards SPS and maybe a clam down the road. I already have a ton of equipment that will get moved to this tank including an Apex and a DIY full spectrum light from LED Group Buy. I am also planning to buy a PLS-50 Elite skimmer for this tank. I have had tanks with and without skimmers, but I just like the piece of mind in having one. I have never fully committed myself to monitoring water conditions and dosing, but there are new BRS dosers still in their boxes that will be getting used on the next tank. Thanks again for the detailed response - and Go Badgers! 1 Quote Link to comment

jtwisconsin Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I told my wife I have too much money invested in this hobby to quit, so obviously the only logical thing to do is spend more money on another tank. Ordering my tank from BRS this morning, so hopefully I will have it tomorrow. 4 Quote Link to comment
uwdanno Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Frag rack has life on it. Tort, JoL Lepto. Zoas I think this is an Aqua Delight Acro. Encrusting well As a side project I am trying to graft (infect) two digi's - A Purple and an Orange. They are working their way around each other but I don't see any color blend yet. Best I can do with a pic. Its a tough angle with the light over head. 5 Quote Link to comment

JayPagi Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 That's really cool, thanks for sharing. I don't have the new quiet drive MP10 so no wireless for me. Maybe I can upgrade the controller. 1 Quote Link to comment

JayPagi Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I love wireless! It's pricey but really convienent It's great to set a schedule for different settings.Beyond the convenience it helps to clear dead spots. It might be an upgrade I make in the future. Quote Link to comment
oysterk Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Love the setup. That SPS rock is amazing! How much mL of each supplement do you dose daily? Quote Link to comment
uwdanno Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Love the setup. That SPS rock is amazing! How much mL of each supplement do you dose daily? Thanks. I believe I'm at -RedSea B is 12ml/day and RedSea A is 5. Red Sea C is dosed rarely. I'll double check but I'm pretty sure that's it. 1 Quote Link to comment
uwdanno Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Didn't clean the tank up at all but wanted to try photos with a 35mm lens. FTS Right side Middle Left side Grafted Cap is really taking off 8 Quote Link to comment
