Hello all

My name is Noah and I have a problem with fish tanks. (too many)!

I have a 29 gallon eclipse saltwater tank that has been rebound for about 6 months then the other day I was surfing craigslist and found an established 120 gallon saltwater tank. So needless to say I now have a 120 salt tank also.

Here are the specs as I know them.
35 gallon oceanic reef ready 2 sump
Icecap ballast with 2 actinic white t12 vho bulbs and one super actinic
A Rena filstar xp filter
I do t know what kind of return pump it is.
I also don't know brand of protein skimming but operettas running it is a sedra ksp3500
There are also two other powerheads but I don't know what kind they are.
It had three fish a coral beauty, a yellowtail damsel and a pj cardinal. A few crabs and couple of snails.
It also came with 75 lbs or live rock. Two big leather corals and maybe still uncountable little ones.

I decided it would be a good idea to combine my two tanks into one when moving it. So now I have added 45lbs more live rock.
One golden Midas blenny
1 watchman goby
1 chromis
2 zebra striped dartfish
A mated pair clownfish who have claimed the large leather coral
1 blue hippo tang
1 mata tang
1 fowleri tang
I also added a extra fluvial 404 I had hanging out. I would like to turn the sump I to a refugium and have tossed some chaeto in but I need to do it right.

I have some experience but I read on here everyday and learn a ton. I will edit this post or add another to get pictures up. I really appreciate any advise or suggestions.
Thanks for reading. Sorry such a long first post.

There is a lot of awesome information within the threads everywhere on this site. It has been a really valuable resource for me (the only one I use now). I learn more and more everyday on here, which my wife says I spend to much time on here lol.

Be careful with the canister filters though. If they are not cleaned properly (not saying that you don't), then they can really cause a nitrate problem for you. From what I have read, it is better to just run a sump and leave the canister filters out of the equation. I was thinking of getting a fluvial a few months ago and decided against it after several members told me what can happen lol.

And welcome to 3reef.com.

 

Welcome

 

a few pictures of tank

Pictures of tank. hope it works.
I thought about taking the canister filters out but i have not gotten lazy yet and still clean them everyweek so i will keep them for the flow they provide.

 

I can understand the lazy part. I also understand keeping them for the flow, lol. I personally wanted one for the different filter media options that you can put in them.
