Fluval Flex 9-Diving back in

ReeferGrower · 01/06/2019, 07:34 PM

Well it's been awhile after some circumstances led to my last tank "disappearing", but starting up again. Got a fluval flex 9 with a hydor 425. Running a cobalt 1200 for return pump. Eheim 25 watt heater. Running a small hob refugium using the stock fluval pump to feed the hob. Picked up a used AI prime HD that will be here soon. Made a little rock wall for the back. Will post updates as I go.

So things seem to be running well so far. Clean up crew arrived from*reef cleaners. Always more than expected, so, sweet! With that being said, trying to keep snails off the floor has been fun. So cut a frame for a lid today and netting is on the way from BRS.* Skimmers chugging along. Added a couple fish, cleaner shrimp and emerald crab as well. Also tossed in a*couple sexy shrimp. Also got this super small red star today. Few zoas, an acan, and a monti. Cereal jug ato reservoir is working well so far. Hopefully have*time to work on a 9 gallon stand soon.* Will keep posted.*

Thanks! Its egg crate with expanding pond foam and fiberglass resin. Should've done a write up. Basically cut egg crate, set coral pieces where you want, fill with foam. I didnt have crushed coral with me at the time so I added the epoxy after and sprinkled on medium pieces of crushed coral. Added a pvc tube for a tunnel on this one too.

Netting came in from BRS for the lid, so hopefully no more escapees.
