Caesars IM 20g peninsula tank build
 

Hey everybody, getting back into the hobby after losing my tank 3 years ago to a condo water leak.

I chose the 20g peninsula due to the perfect spot in my apartment were the tank can be viewed from one side in the main hallway and from the living room from the other.

The main focus of the tank is on a zoo/acan garden with a few other larger soft and leather corals for some vertical visuals and moment. I have chosen to use a moderate lighting and waterflow plan, currently have a usa marine led unit as lighting but may add a second stip as well as i think the lights could be a little brighter.

I started setting up the tank in early February but due to covid i did not start stocking the tank until 6 weeks ago or so. I'm sure a good 6 month cycle did some good however as so far i have had almost 0 outbreaks of nuisance algae or any major swings in water parameters.

Stock list includes

-A pair of ORA orange storm clownfish
-Neon cleaner goby
-cleaner shrimp
-5 hermits
-5 snails

Future stock plans
-Purple firefish I(cant find one), if i win my superbowl bets maybe will splurge on a helfrichi
-3 to 5 sexy shrimp for a small colony
-emerald crab or Boxer crab if i can find one

Currently dosing with red sea max A,B,C parameters are stable at

35ppt salinity
12dkh
430 calcium
8.2ph
0 ammonia
0 nitrates
10 Nitrates
0-.25 phospherous (Colour in between test scale)

I do a 10 percent water change every 5 days. Just find it easier

Up for any suggestions with stock and aqua scaping or anything really
