      Hey SDR just getting back into the hobby after some time... Bought Nanoreef1 (Hector) 25 lagoon! For having the tank as long as he did he kept in tip top shape and the stand by Drama was super clean! pumped to get back in the game.
      Decided to change the stand up and added some side panels to hide the equipment i plan to store under the tank. Not sure want i want the door to be... deciding between some frosted or tinted glass or just a regular wood door

      Went with the Pyle power strip


      Still trying to figure out the rock structure and going to start to cycle the BRS reef saver rock for a month. In the mean time.... time to pick up some overtime shifts

      Looking to get
      - Kessil 360x
      - Unsure of the wavemaker at this time
      - dosing pumps
      - caddy for cheto
      - ATO system

      Jealous! That was a good looking tank Hector had and definitely a good purchase on your part!

      Little update. Tank has been holding strong and slowly but surely going to start adding livestock! I believe I have all the equipment I’ll need and just need to do some cord management and then the fun begins!

      Equipment update
      - kessil 360x - this thing is sleek and has some good coverage for the dimensions of the 25 lagoon. Have the intensity max at 50 for now. Still working on a schedule
      - AI Nero - got this pump during the sale. Have it set to pulse max at 35%. Love the connectivity through Bluetooth and looking forward to fine tuning and playing with this wave maker
      -Minimax desktop media reactor - having it toss some bio pellets
      -Nuvo skim desktop skimmer- have it sitting next to the media reactor. Hasn’t been skimming much since it’s all still so new but I’ve seen some good skin mate out of others videos
      -Micro ATO system - was having some crazy evaporation so decided to get this little ato. So far so good. No complaints
      -Intank floss holder - got some quit batting in there and some carbon - plan to do a five under it. Ordered a thin grow light from amazon should be coming in Monday.

      Livestock - just got a little frog spawn and some snails for now. Slow and steady wins the race

      Not many pictures yet but more to come!

      Yeah it’s actually a piece of glass that I got cut at Lowe’s and tinted it black. Turned out nice. Pretty pumped

      Update:
      Alk 9.2
      Cal - 430
      Mag - 1410
      Salinity - 1.025

      Everything is chugging along. Only lost a snail and a cleaner shrimp thus far. Unknown death as all parameters were within range...Bought the black ice from Petco for 75% off and was worried about pairing the solo clown. Ended up getting a blizzard snow flake. At first the black ice was nippy but put the little guy into shape and now they are best buds!
      Currently dosing Bionic 2 part at 5ml a day. Don’t really have much in the tank to dose any more. At what point should I up the dose? I was getting sick of dosing every morning so I caved and bought the Jecod dp2. For the price I feel you can’t beat something to do the job for you! Currently waiting for bulkreefsupply to send me the fittings and going to use some Voss bottles for dosing containers. I’ll be sure to update with a picture of the undercarriage when I get things tidy. Bought the innovative marine auto top of container.. that thing is clean! The “dump drawer” is super convenient to just pull out the drawer and filler up!
      For now I’ll leave some photos.

      Little OCD and finally cleaned up the underside of the tank..

      Now on to working on some Aquascape. Was running some chaeto in the back compartment, but was over getting strings of chaeto in the display so decided to build a DIY chaeto reactor. Just got the lights in waiting for reactor

      Tuna's 25 Lagoon

      Made that chaeto reactor to help eliminate some chaeto floating around in the main display every time I turn the pumps off to do something. Wanted some different lights but these will do..


      Got some frags from oceanslide (Erik). Thanks for the awesome frags and deal!



      And a little full tank love! Stuff is still in the sand acclimating and trying to figure out some placement

      The past couple of days I’ve been getting this algae bloom on my sandbed and a brown film on the glass. Every morning the clean up crew cleans the sand and looks like it’s freshly vacuumed but by the end of the day it’s back. Any suggestions? I’ve been changing my filter floss every other day (saturated brown), cleaning the glass and stirring the sandbed. Current parameters
      PO4-0 (just got the salifert for po4,no3)
      NO3-0
      Alk-8.3
      Calc - 430
      Salinity 1.025
      Lights are on 10-1030 with ramp up and down

      Looks like a diatom bloom. Just part of the process. Keep up on water changes and you’ll be through it soon enough.

      Thanks Tyler. That’s what I thought it was just was double checking. Those little bubbles and the growth made me think dinos for a little... I’ll keep up with the water changes
