Draco Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Hi all! I've finally done it, I got a new tank to upgrade my 9g Ehiem. Presently the 9g has a pair of frostbite clowns, 3 peppermint shrimps (which will be going in my 75g to help clean aiptasia), and 2 BTA's. my stand will be arriving tomorrow- once I put that together, I'll start transferring/setting up. I am curious to what people put in the back compartments as far as filteration. I'd like to add Chaetos, but which compartment would be best? 1 Quote Link to comment
Joevember Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I put my fuge in the compartment after the overflow. I run 2 intanks in the first chambers. The other 2nd chamber I have some marinepure spheres. 1 Quote Link to comment
Draco Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Stand's built. New sand and extra rock bought. I may have to get more rock. I hope 20lbs of sand is enough. I plan on cleaning the current rock to the best of my ability- there's nems and other coral on it so I gotta be careful. I want to get the bubble algae off at least, and shake out some of the bristle worms. there's just way too many in the tank (The worms will go in my sump of my 75g for cleaning) A cup or two of the current sand. I hope 1 ai prime would be enough. I can't afford $200 on another fixture at the moment. if it's not, I'll have to make due till then. here's a pic of the stand with tank. the tank I am replacing is in the back. Quote Link to comment
DreC80 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 1 prime should be good for now depending what you are going to keep. I run filter floss, carbon, and a little gfo in my back compartments. Quote Link to comment
Tuan’s Reef Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I currently have the IM fusion 20 as well and thinking about adding chaeto as well . Might be good fit in the Chamber next to the return pump as it has the baffle returning water up and is separated from the return pump chamber. I have seachem matrix in the other chamber right now.

Draco Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 Might as well add a pic of the tank in its present state. lots of zoas, Duncan’s, BTA, acans and few other corals I can’t think of one harlequin shrimp that is eating the asterinas from my 75g and a pair of frostbite clowns that I hope to breed one day Quote Link to comment
