Might be diatoms. But if you have a microscope you'll be able to identify better. Lol I just ordered a microscope.  I think it'll be beneficial for this hobby.

Found this link, most likely it's diatoms since it is a newer tank

Happy Halloween! oh and dinos are here... yay lol

Looking for a few rbta's 

In Monmouth, also asking for delivery

Tank is in place and leak testing rn with just tap. Gonna fill it up with RODI this weekend, get the scape built, and add salt next week!

IM10 is a great tank........... you will only need a 3 in there if even that it depends on what your stocking it with.......... you can always just upgrade the return pump and go with a spin stream......... they work great......... I ran a IM10 with one and also a upgraded pump..........

Plan is to go with a ton of nems and some clowns. Idea is that when I'm back home for a week or two I can throw on the auto feeder and the clowns + nems will be fed due to their symbiotic relationship. Stock pump should be enough for circulation with the nero 3 providing most of the wavy flowy action

Did you get the Nero 3 or 5. I just got the 5 and I feel like it’s to much flow for my 20 gallon. I believe I have it on 20%-30%.. 

definitely getting the nero 3. I have a nero 5 on my main tank and a nero 3 on my frag tank back home

Is there a reason why you picked im tank? Why not a waterbox tank?

It's on BRS and on sale. Also comes with more features (lid, pump, simple media, etc)

With regarding where the height of your return lines are, are you worried about too much back siphon? If too much water will siphon into the sump you might want to add a check valve to each side.

Well if you can't drive,you can have chewy deliver,you'll get the water and jugs and can cancel if you decide to make your own.

ooo good idea! I'll look into it

Looking to buy some 5 gallon water totes to store RODI water in for my dorm tank. 

I'm in monmouth and don't have a car to get around, only option unfortunately is to drive here if you don't mind.

8583366229 thx!

Just moved up here so don't have any pieces of the puzzle yet, but check out this link to see what I plan to be the best looking reef tank in a college dorm!

Dorm Tank

Hey all!

Just moved to Oregon from SoCal and attending Western Oregon University (Co' 2025)! I plan to major in aquarium science and pursue my passion of coral reefs and the unknown.

Tank Plans:

- Link to equipment --> Link

- most likely to have just a bunch on nems with some clowns to keep it simple and low maintenance. Also makes it easier to feed everything when I'm gone for an extended period of time.

IG is @quantum_reefer so feel free to follow me along my journey!
