15 days up and running, the chromis are still alive! Ammonia and Nitrite are 0 and Nitrate is at 15. This weekend, I added a bunch of macro algae and a tank background. The rocks and some of the sand are beginning to turn orange/brown. In 2 more weeks I hope to add some snails and copepods.

Working with Reef By Steele, I have been cultivating my own copepods and my own phytoplankton two different types of phytoplankton, one is diatom based and the other is just straight phytoplankton. The diatom beast helps compete in reducing diet blooms in your tank while feeding your corals, and obviously cultivating copepods makes my red mandarin very happy.

Okay so I had an old 29 gallon in the garage and I really don’t like my current set up with my sump. So I decided to build my own. I bought all the stuff and I’m just planning now. I want to fit both the skimmer and a refugium because I have a mandarin and want a good copepod surplus. Does this set up look ok? I’m hoping that in the future I might just take the socks out and do maybe a 30 then 40 then 50 ppi(maybe more if they have that). Just so I don’t have to worry about replacing socks every 2-3 days.

It looked like it cut off the original so I’m going to post both sides of it to be safe
