Reef Tank

Fluval Evo 13.5

This was my first venture into salwater reef keeping. I aquired it already established from another hobyist, however due to it already being established, I didnt feel It was something I created and didnt understand the complexities of the ecosystem since it was quite stable. I wanted to venture on my own and start a new from scratch, utilizing some of the componends and livestock from this tank.

Innovative Marine Nuvo 10

This was my second ever tank, but my first atempt at reef-keeping on my own. I did lots of research and equipment gathering, but was too impatient and added too much livestock before the tank was fully cycled. This caused a bloom of cyanobacteria which I had no idea how to handle and it ultimately took over the tank and I had to restart once again. I learned the basics of reef-keeping with this tank (usualy the hard way) and kept it until I was able to maintain a stable environment for a long period of time before eventualy upgrading to something more unique.

Innovative Marine 20g Abyss Concept

This is my current tank. It is 20g compared to 10g which, while still being a nano tank, allows for more buffer range and more leniency with maintnance. The smaller the volume of water, the more easily it is influenced, so by doubling the capacity, parameters have smaller swings. This tank is equipt with a thermostat, ATO, protein skimmer, refugium to grow macroalgae, as well as a media basket and upgraded return pump. All of these components help maintain the pristine water quality necessary to grow LPS and SPS corals.

Innovative Marine 25g Lagoon

Coming soon, this tank will be ran in conjunction with the Abyss 20g as a frag tank to grow and propogate frags. Im aiming for it to target the more demanding SPS corals, equipping it with higher flow, more intense lighting, and changing salt brands to achieve higher levels of Calcium, Alkalinity, and Magnesium to promote faster and stronger coral growth. These coupled with other things such as a higher PH and testing for other trace elements should allow me to accelerate coral growth for sale or use in the display tank.
