I'm Back !!!! Desktop reef build thread
Well after a divorce 7 years ago and my career not allowing me to keep my 220G Reef I shut it down and sold everything off.
Now that I am the new big boss man in the Canadian division I don't have to travel very much anymore if at all. However the desk life isn't kind to me some days so I find myself looking at two options to deal with the day to day challenges. Keep a bottle or rum in the desk drawer or get a desktop reef going.
Sooooooo I decided to go for the desktop reef plan. Now a lot things have changed in the hobby since I left as far as technology so I am back to experimenting and researching.
Plans are as follows :
JBJ Cubey 3 gallon tank
In addition to the LED lighting in it I will try to cram in 5x ECOPICO LED 12000K / 435 light strips
Bare bottom with one or two pieces of live rock only
50W heater to keep things warm
As far as livestock it will be a shrimp or two and mostly LPS and Zoa's.
I will also add a ATO system to keep things balanced.
Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.
