I had a blank corner in my living room, so what else was I supposed to do but start another tank! I had a bunch of really nice equipment in my pet closet so I thought I would put it to good use. It will be SPS and clams.
The tank is a 54 gallon RR All Glass that I paid about 200 on clearance at Petco with stand. Sweet deal. Lighting is a Geisemann Nova II 250 watt with Megachrome 20k kelvin bulb. Return is a Tunze return pump. Circulation is from a pair of Tunze Streams. Top off is a Tunze osmolator. Skimmer is a Euro-Reef CS5-2 that Dennis at FJW sold me for 75. Another sweet deal!
I would love some opinions on calcium. I have a PM kalk reactor that I can run with my top off, and I have a 2 chamber PM calcium reactor. I can run either or even both. What would you do keeping in mind that calcium demand will be high?
Here are my "day one" photos that I just took. I've been reef keeping for years but opinions and advice are always appreciated.
Cheers! J
