darksun92 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Chapter 1: After losing most of my corals 2 months ago posted here in the forum I decided to start once again with a bigger tank and with a lot of lessons learned so this is my new 20G tank that will be a Mixed Reef and here I'll be posting my Journal! I decided to move a slightly bigger tank because controlling the last one was very difficult also the scape was pretty disappointing for me so I take the chance to renew everything. Setup Tank: Custom LFS Sizes: 24x18x14 Type: AIO Skimmer: Bubble Magus QQ1 Lighting: AI Prime HD Rock: Two Little Fishies Stax Background: I started with the hobby 1 year and 4 months ago with old 10g tank just putting rock and sand and starting the cycle, then I added one small clownfish and that's it but then I feel attracted with the corals and started to fill with them and turned on to next photos. Vision: The previous tank was a mixed reef so I pretend to do the same but this time slower. Old 10g Tank Made with clear crystal (6mm) and back sump of acrylic with laser cut, I decided to have a very small sump to take advantage of the display and make a better scape, I build the stand with 1x2 wood. 2 Quote Link to comment
darksun92 Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 Chapter 2: Scape on my first was something that I dislike a lot so this time I look for help and the LFS help to create a solid scape with many place to distribute very well my softies, lps and sps, I use two little fishies Stax Rock it took about 15lb of rock plus stone fix from Aquaforest and this was the result: I don't know yet how I will place the corals but this are the 3 sections, hope you can help to choose the right distribution!
