Gargamel's 16g (60l) reef

Recommended Posts

My reef adventure started 2 years ago. I bought Dennerle 16g nano cube, Eheim heater, Tunze 6015 pump to go with Dennerle Biocirculator pump and i was using standard Dennerle 24w light that was provided in the package.

 

I loaded some sand, too much rock and cycling started. Later on i added some life:

 

- Yellow clown goby

- 2 Firefishes

- 2 wurdemani shrimps

- Turbos and Nassarius snails

 

Corals:

- Xenya

- Euphilia paradivisa

- Zoanthid

- later i added another mushroom

 

In 2 years time i lost 1 Firefish, both shrimps and all snails.

In coral department Xenya took over upper portion of a tank in first year. In second year Euphillia overgrown it and destroyed almost all Xenya and is now sitting on the top of a tank. I lost Zoanthid.

 

So now after two years i had to move the aquarium and i used the chance to redo the rockwork. I still have a lot of rock, parameters are rock solid and i've added new live iwth some corals. Now i have:

 

- 1 Yellow clown goby

- 1 Firefish

- 2 Skunk cleaner shrimps

- 3 Sexy shrimps

- 1 Two spot goby

- 4 snails

 

Corals:

- Huge Euphillia P.

- Small Xenya

- Yellow Zoanthid anemone

- Star polyp

- Mushroom

- ...

 

I also decided to do some changes in equipment because i wasn't happy with corals. This is in mail and i hope i'll be able to run it next week:

 

- NEW AI Prime led light that will replace my old Dennerle 24w one. I expect a lot from it. I will put it in dead center of a tank so corals in front will get more light. I will use sunrise/sundown option, but i still don't know how much % of power should i go with...?

 

- my first skimmer. Tunze 9001. It will go on Biocirculator spot (Biocirculator is just a 500l/h pump that takes some water from the surface so you don't have a grease film on it). I will not use Biocirculator any more.

 

- I feel Tunze 6015 alone will not produce enough flow so i ordered Tunze 6045 so i'll be able to change the flow power as needed. 6045 will replace 6015.

 

What do you think about my choices?

Dennerle... Haven't seen many Dennerle tanks on here. Think they are only available in Europe. Or 'grey import'.

I'm from Belgium so dennerle is quite familiar to me :-)
