I am in the beginning phases of setting up a marine tank for my office. It just finished cycling, and I will begin adding stock this week or next. The plan is to have a reef tank whose calming presence will make me be a better person.
Everything is stock on the Nuvo 16, but I added their ATO pump and controller to keep the salinity as steady as possible - especially over the weekend when I am not at the office. So far I love the ATO because it was easy to have it actuate on even the smallest drop of water volume, so I have hopes that I can keep the salinity nice and steady.
The second picture shows the ATO probes and pump hanging on the back, and the third picture shows the heater tucked in next to one of the filter baskets.
Specifically:
Filtration and Flow:
<ul>
<li>Stock 211 GPH Pump</li>
<li>Sponge</li>
<li>500ML of Matrix</li>
<li>5 lbs. of live rock</li>
<li>I intend to add Purigen and Chemi-Pure as needed over time</li>
</ul>
Gadgets
<ul>
<li>ATO Pump and Controller</li>
<li>2 Spin-Stream Nozzles</li>
<li>Cobalt 75W heater</li>
</ul>
Stocking Plan
<ul>
<li>Citron or Green Goby</li>
<li>Yasha White Ray Shrimp Goby w/Snapping Shrimp</li>
<li>Kaudem\'s Cardinal</li>
<li>Zoanthids</li>
<li>Mixed Ricordeas</li>
<li>Who knows what else</li>
</ul>
Any thoughts appreciated
