30 Gallon Long soon to be reef build

Sweet plan for the upgrade. I'm sure you'll like it MUCH better than the 10gal. Any idea what you'll be doing for lights yet?

 

Go for a higher flow koralia like a 425 for at least one of them. I have had the 2's and nano, not enough flow even for a mostly softy tank in my opinion.

Cherub angels are really cool, mine nipped my clam after a year or two and a little punk to catch but nice fish with good colors.

 

As for the Fuge, it will have only rubble rock in it with chaeto algae tied in. I will put a small, I mean small siphon (air line tubing) siphoning water from the filter onto a screen on top of the filter in a V shape. That way the water won't roll off. I will get turf Algae growing on the screen.

For the lighting, I already have the BoostLED par 30s hanging over my 10 gallon reef. They are 13 inches from the surface of the water. I am super happy with the company. Yes, I may save some money going elsewhere but I am a big fan of the boostled. I am going to do 3 boost par 30s with another another Par 38 hanging over my SPS to give it extra power.

 

Leds my friend. You could say I am a led *h*re. haha ;D
3 par 30s 1 par 38 super focused on a few corals.

 

Really? Ok yeah I am putting them on a JBJ wavemaker. Are these any good?

Yeah, They are my favorite fish.

 

So like this?

 

I have a JBJ wave maker I never use it. It works fine though. I just did not like the idea of stopping and starting my power heads every 1-2 mins or whatever the setting. If I want that kind of action I would look towards a mp20 or something.

 

Got ya. I will be getting the powerheads first, so if they are putting enough current in the water. I will forget that idea.

 

correct!

 

It should be interesting to see the ATS. I can't wait.
