Hey there buddy. This is my innovative marine 30. I started it about 1.5 months ago when I moved into my new condo. When I was planning the aquarium I wanted it to look spacious, relaxing and something that exudes chill vibes while I sip my scotch.

I decided to go for a lps dominant tank. I find that Lps give off relaxing vibes while Sps offers a sharper look.

So more details on the tank

I currently have three fishes. A nemo thats been with me for 6 years. A baby dory. And like a pink midas blenny (lfs told me it was from the red sea) ?

Thinking of adding another two fishes. A sixline wrasse is a must. A firefish or a bangai cardinal.

For filtration Im using a tunze 9004 skimmer. Growing some red macro algae in the refugium. I use biopellets in a filter bag. Carbon in a filter bag too. Have like 1L of seachem matrix and 1kg of biohome. Using filter pads now. Initially decided not to use them, but I noticed detritus would build up in the return chamber. So rather have the detritus decompose on the filter pad than somewhere else.

Nitrates is consistently 0. Phosphates 0.03ppm.

Here is a picture of my leather coral (my favourite, although the most boring). One of my first corals and been with me for 8 years, through all horrible mistakes ( and I made ALOT). Grew about triple in size. Best 8 bucks I ever spent.

This is baby dory. About an inch long.

Size is deceiving. She eats alot more.

And this is the old bird.

Do you find that the fish jumping prevention netting is blocking the lighting pentration?

Maybe can check out their new netting which is much thinner

Oh I didnt know they released a new one. It looks much thinner and better. The current one blocks abit of light but I dont notice it too much.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Trying out the red sea reef energy because I like red sea approach to coral nutrition.

Using part A itself since I already have other amino acids.

One note is my zoanthids do seem to like it. I have been observing good growth from them.

Can only provide an anecdotal observation. Not sure how much is actually due to the product.

On a side note, they recommend 6ml/25gal a day for ULNS. Three times the dosage for other systems. My tank has very low nitrate and phosphate levels but quite hestitant to dose that amount.

Anyone used that dosage before?
