Southern Oregon JBJ 45 Journey Update with FTS!


Matteo

Recommended Posts

Just ordered the JBJ 45 gallon AIO aquarium on Marinedepot using their 15% off coupon code! omgomgomg After seeing the price of the stand and reviews of the stand I am going to build a stand of my own to my own liking. Everything (almost) will be transferred into this tank from my 29g Biocube.

 

In the stand:

TLF 150 Biopellet Reactor

BRS Carbon and GFO Reactor

American DJ Power strip

5 Gallon Bucket RO/DI Water

Tunze Nano Osmolator

DIY LED Controller/Power Box

 

In the back chamber:

Filter Sponge/Floss

Refugium in one of the sides with cheato and live rock

Heater

ATO Hose

Reactor Plumbing and pumps

AqauticLife 115 Skimmer, (need to upgrade)

 

Lighting:

2 x Lumia 5.2 LED pucks w/storm controller(dislike bluefish) on rapid led's premium black 6inch heatsink.

 

In the DT:

35ish lbs of live rock

SPS,LPS, Softies, Nems, and NPS

1 Baby Goldstripe Maroon Clown

1 Pair of Proaquatix Snowflake Clowns

1 Royal Gramma (might get rid of, always hides in rock)

1 Mandrian Dragonet

CUC/Cleaner Shrimp

Have Jebao WP10 but probably will upgrade to mp10 soonish.

 

Wanted Fish: (All up in the air)

Lepoard Wrasse (potters wrasse died recently :( )

I love Flame Angels but nervous about coral picking

Maybe a pair of cardinals

 

First thing to do is hit hardware store and get the stand built. Then everything else will fall into place piece by piece!

I would try a flame angel out and if it is a nipper you could just return it to the store. It really depends on the fish, mine doesn't touch my corals. If you keep it well fed is less likely to eat your coral. Great fish, lots of personality and gorgeous!?

That is what I am thinking! I love my maroon clown because he always in the nem. The snowflakes don't give a s***. I might just start with all new fish. Probably will keep the mandrian (we'll see). Either the maroon clown or the snowflake clowns will go. Maroon clown is in the nem which is fun but I love the look of snowflakes so that will be decided soonish.

 

I think I will do this:

Carpenters Fairy Wrasse

Leopard Wrasse

Flame Angel

Maroon Clown or Pair of Snowflakes

Mandrian (we'll see)

 

I just want active swimmers that swim the whole tank!

Here is the build! Currently the light is temporary as I am waiting on a new black heatsink and also have to wait for drivers for my two new Lumia 5.2 pucks. Monday I will be receiving a MP10QD and desktop reactor thanks to harryjsinger! Current fish in the tank is my goldstripe maroon clown (Bruce) who is my king of the tank. Hopefully getting a flame angel soon because I have always wanted one!

 

Question though, I am currently running GFO/Carbon in the brs reactors and have a fuge section with cheato. So with the new desktop reactor I plan on running bio pellets (scary I know) any thoughts? Any other media I should tumble?
