Menelikia Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hi all, After lurking around here and asking a few questions, I'm starting this thread for my 20h build. I had a 75g FOWLR tank a few years ago, but I'm now trying my hand at a zoa/LPS tank. So far this is what I have: tank: 20h Aqueon RO/DI: BRS RO/DI salt: IO Reef crystals sand: CaribSea Arag-Alive rock: 10 lbs BRS pukani (curing in a 5g bucket w/ powerhead) filtration: AC 70 w/ Intank media basket running chemipure blue + filter floss (thinking about getting the pico surface skimmer) heater: Cobalt neotherm 75w Also grabbed a Cobalt easy-therm and Marineland powerhead for mixing salt. Thinking of getting an Ecotech MP10 and Kessil A360 for lighting...thoughts? Fish = TBD...but certainly lightly stocked Planning to do bi-weekly 5g water changes... grabbing Seachem ammonia/nitrite/nitrate test kit for the cycle... Link to comment

Menelikia Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Great-- thanks for the suggestion. My thought was that I could just turn the 360 down to a lower setting...also was hesitant with the power of the 160 and the water depth... That being said, I am very open to suggestions for lighting Link to comment
Menelikia Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Got around to painting the intake tube of the AC 70. Also, Intank filter basket and Cobalt neotherm have arrived... Link to comment
Menelikia Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Went ahead and threw some live rock in while the Pukani is curing.. Link to comment
