SuncrestReef Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) I'm new to the reefing hobby and new to this forum. I've been posting since February at Reef2Reef to document my Reefer XL 425 build, but just recently discovered this local forum. I live in Beaverton. My tank has been operational for just over 6 weeks now. Here's my current list of livestock: 2 Onyx Clownfish 2 Blue Chromis 1 Tailspot Blenny 1 Yellow Watchman Goby 1 Pistol Shrimp 1 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp 5 Tiger Sand Conchs 30 assorted snails 10 hermit crabs Corals: Rainbow Stylophora Green Slimer Candy Cane Hammer Duncan Zoanthids Montipora I want to thank the guys over at @CuttleFishandCoral for their help in choosing my livestock. 😊 Edited July 5, 2018 by SuncrestReef Tagging CuttleFishandCoral 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcallmenny Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Very nice. Why is your top-off reservoir purple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I converted the ATO reservoir into a refugium to grow Cheato. The purple color is from the LED grow light. For ATO I'm using the Neptune ATK and drawing RO/DI water from my mixing station storage tank in the garage. I have 1/4" tubing running through the wall from my display tank to the garage for both ATO and automatic water changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your aquascape is really neat too. Glad to have you aboard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the scape Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Thanks for asking! Since I first posted this introduction, I've started posting updates with lots of photos in a separate thread in the Gallery forum. I've added a lot of new corals and my latest addition this week was a Maxima clam. Tomorrow when the lights come on I will post an update full tank video.
