I’m thrilled to share my new setup—a Waterbox 25-gallon peninsula! After taking a six-month break from the hobby, I’m back and ready to dive into this exciting journey. This tank will focus on LPS and softies, with an emphasis on keeping Zoanthids, Favia, Chalices, and Mushrooms. I’ve already got a Duncan coral to start, and I’m looking forward to curating a vibrant and thriving reef community.
My goal for this tank is to maintain a simple and effective routine: weekly water changes and following Tropic Marin’s Balling Method, modified to use All-For-Reef. I’m also dosing Tropic Marin's Plus-NP to help balance my nutrients. Sustainability, coral health, and a steady dose of aquascaping creativity are at the heart of this project!
**Equipment Setup**
Here’s the gear I’m working with for this build:
- 2 AI Prime 16 HDs (had one lying around, so why not?)
- Temperature gauge
- Heater
- No protein skimmer for now, as I’m keeping things straightforward.
The tank features Custom Aquascapes and live rock from Premier Aquatics, providing a unique and solid foundation for coral growth.
**Livestock Plan**
- 1 Clownfish
- maybe 1 Midas Blenny
- 1 Royal Gramma
- 1 Possum Wrasse
- 1 Yellow Clown Goby
