Sean's 8.5G Rimless Reef - 3/07/2013

Not yet, the tank is still cycling. But there will be roughly 25 coral frags in the tank including the monti cap.

 

I meant will you be doing regular pwc, that should be enough for the cap. I understand that it would be kinda hard to do pwc in a dorm though..

 

I'm not sure how I will do that. I don't have a car so I can't easily go to the store for distilled water. What if I just dosed and didn't to WC unless my parameters were off? That might actually be easier.

$14 total for Reef Code A & B (500ml each) will last me approximately 1 - 1.5 years.

 

I've decided on a livestock list for the tank.

dude, get a sail fin tang instead of the Goby, much coolerlol, great list

 

Yeah, I'll do that! : lol

 

Those are some expensive corals! I just passed up a superman monti for 30$ that was pretty big.. The fungia will be really expensive, same with the chalices , not because they are hard to grow, but because it's what's popular now, same with the rasta zoas.

 

I don't plan buying them right away.

 

The Scoly will take the cake on top cost coral from that list. Guaranteed! ;D

 

Here's the tank with the background I painted.
