My plan for the tank since it's my first is for the most part is stronger easier things to maintain and take care of. I decided to add after 3 weeks roughly? a small Pulsating Xenia and a few more blue legs ( 6 total )
I want stuff in the tank with a lot of movement, so for the most part I plan on leathers and other long branched species that have a good flow in the current of the tank. I picked up a 2 bulb GLO T5 Fluorescent lighting system and stuck an 18,00k 39w and a 39w Actinic bulb in to start and most likely will double this up if I do decide on some more heavy light required species.
Also had a meltdown of the motor on my protein skimmer
Went to J&L and they had the exact replacement ( RIO+ 600 )
One thing I did notice right away is it worked wayyyyy better, although it was spitting micro bubbles back into my tank. I rigged up a quick deflection sheild the forces the bubbles back towards the rear of the tank and they dont even get an inch into the water.
