Sump Size (LxHxW | Volume):None
Live Rock (Mass):12 lbs.
Live Sand (Mass): 2- 3 inches
Lighting (Type | Wattage |one 18 w coral life 10,000K. one 18 w coral life 50/50 Photoperiod):9 hours
Protein Skimmer (Brand | Model):None
Biological Filtration (Type): Standard
Eclipse
Chemical Filtration (Type): Carbon phosphate sponge, amm away all in eclipse filter area. I just removed the floss to be able to replace carbon, phosphate spnge and amm away and replaced it with a piece of flat piece of sponge cut to size. replaced once a week
Circulation (Rate | Brand | Model): Standard elclipse
Return Pump (Rate | Brand | Model):
pH (Morning | Evening):8.2 8.3
Temperature (Range | oC | oF):76F
Specific Gravity / Salintity (g/g | 1.025ppt):
Alkalinity (meq/l | dKH): 3.2 meq/l
Calcium (ppm): 400
Ammonia (ppm):0
Nitrite (ppm):0
Nitrate (ppm):5
Phosphate (ppm):0
Fish :1 yellow tale damsel 1 tomato clowns (very small 1 inch)
Corals :1 branching frogspawn coral 1 three headed candy cane. 1 kenya tree
Invertebrates :7 mushroom anemones
1 Florida pink tip anemone (fed weekly)
Maintenance Program : 2 ml B-Ionic per day. 1 gallon water change per week
Additional Information :Tank seeded with Fritz-Zyme Turbo Start 900 at reccommended dose. Tank cycled in 5 days.I am a chemist so I am confident this is correct.
Hitchikers
1 brown feather duster about 1 inch wide
1 small white clam about 1/2 inch wide
numerous small white feather dusters?
a few small brown feather dusters
One small white branching Coral? It is very fine. It grows to about 1 inch then the current breaks it in half or 1/4 and it will regrow. It done this three times so far. This guy died after a couple of months.
I hope to hear from other elcipse owners. Mine is going well. I still have a small problem with hair algae. I hope the reduction in phosphate will cure this. I start my tank with tap water. I have been using distilled since for water changes.
The Tank still suffers with algae, but is easy to clean.
