Just got a new tank from someone online got a great deal on it! its the IM 25 Lagoon.
Equipment/Setup so far
Went with BRS 4 stage plus RODI unit and Fritz Reef Pro Salt. also went with reef saver rock really liked it in my last tank and decided to go back to it.Forget what sand i go with its just dry Aragonite sand that has served me well in the past.
Jaebo pp4- really impressed with how silent this pump has been... like really silent and way powerful for this size tank-(Next upgrade is the return pump)
IM Refugium Basket w/ Aqua gadget grow light
I took out the filter socks and got one custom basket for the non refugium side as well as a floss holder basket for non refugium side.
planning on running floss on top of custom basket with chemi-pure blue below then another piece of floss in the second chamber, then pond matrix or marinepure but undecided on that portion.
The water temp seems to be okay but added a 100w heater since the actual water volume is so low figured that would be plenty strong enough, I was really surprised how little water the tank takes with Rock and sand.
Okay time for the Question section
Has anyone run the sicce or the tunze return pump or have a preference? the stock pump is just too loud!
looking into a cheap light while the tank is Fish only for 6-8 months I have seen allot of good things on the Hipigiro Aqua knight once i start corals i will probably go with something more automated. Anyone have this light that can let me know how they like it?
As far as livestock goes it will be mostly LPS and Softie tank haven't found any sps that really interests me.I Do love acans, candy canes and zoas and would love a RBTA but probably wont put that in.
for fish i want to run a clown pair and i really want a flame angel if i don't get a flame angel i will probably go with a Mandarin i just love them and was the main reason for the Refugium.
but basically just thinking three fish buy them all as small as i can so they all look proportional to each other.
cannot get picture to upload its saying the file is too big so ill keep working on that.
