Not sure how this whole journal thing works but thought I would keep this journal for me (and others to keep up with) 

 

I am on day 32 of my tank build.

 

my equipment 

-Kessil A80 Tuna Blue

-stock return pump (soon replacing with sicce 0.5)

-heater (Petco brand not sure exact one)

Not sure if I should get a nano protein skimmer?? My LFS said it’s probably not necessary but I’m gonna do more research

 

my live stock has built up quite a bit and here’s what it’s loaded with 

-2 occe clowns

-2 hermits

-1 conch 

-2 snails

-1 pink torch coral branching 3 heads

-candy cane colony (15 heads)

- green hammer coral branching 1 head

-2 orange/gray acan

-3 ricordea 

-1 gsp

-1 two head red mushroom

- 1 cabbage coral 

-1 zoa 6 heads ( eagle eye)

-1 Kenya tree

Plan on getting some frogspawn, more zoas and torches. Also want one more small fish but not sure if I will have enough room

 

Since I’m already a month late on posting this I’m going to post from the day water was put in my tank to my pics I took tonight

 

Note I have been very indecisive and have changed my aquascape, arrangement of corals, and my actual live rocks a lot in just this month 😂 

 

hope you guys will enjoy following along!! 

Many input is appreciated greatly!

Any recommendations on epoxys or glues to hold these corals down is appreciated!

I use Corrafix to glue my corals down, seems to be working great so far!! Also your tank is looking awesome, love your torch coral too. The scape is great too, deff gunna start keeping a journal this week after seeing yours so far!!
