Don't sweat it man! Azoo is easy once you nail down good habits. That's all it is, habits.

ive had good luck with some of the easier stuff im a bit worried over the live food part, but at least ill work into that slowly, since i dont have alot of display room ill start with the easier stuff and replace it with some more advance corals as time goes by. one smart move was setting this tank up in my fishroom, i have all kinds of room for equipment around the tank itself and noise,smell,clutter isnt an issue in here. new water is only 4ft away and theres always 20g of new water kicking around. i figure the only way this tank is going to get reg is if i make everything easily accessible for supplies any azoox keepers out there id love to hear any ideas or tips you could offer as this build gooes on

I have a tip for ya: Flow is king. 60+ x turnover each hour at least man. Settlement is the main reason people fail with AZoox. Keep the turnover high and you will keep organics in suspension for your protein skimmer to gobble up.

I think the tall tank is ideal for keeping things suspended. I'd run a small closed loop with the suction centered within the rock work and the outputs scattered around the base. This way you push water upwards keeping things suspended and you're constantly drawing water inwards towards the corals which will promote feeding. The base will look like Swiss cheese but that's OK
Looking forward to this one buddy, don't let me down. |
