The Saltwater Journey
Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 2:57 pm
Well I just had to go and do it. I have been very happy with a fish only salt tank for a long time but I just decided one day to see what it takes to go into some corals, mushroom, and anemones. Well it is a lot. Different lighting needs, different filtration needs and different water quality needs. The funny thing is it is a relatively small tank 30 gallon and I have really small ambitions and just want a few organisms but they all need more than what I had so here we go.
I am mid stream of adding an additional sump/refugium. I just am about halfway there with the water system, have RO now adding DI soon. Bought a new LED programmable light that does the whole light cycle of night, sunrise, day and sunset.
This is a lot of time, money and effort for a few sea creatures but I hope I learn a few things that one day I will be happy that I know.
The journey is definitely a continuing saga!
