Just want to thank everyone for the great info and for those who helped solve my lighting issues. So far here's what I have established. It's a 55-gallon DT with a 30-gallon sump.
Parameters:
NH3 - 0
NO2 - 0
NO3 - 10 (kaunti pa ng LS, but still induces diatom blooms dahil konti p ung chaeto ko)
temp.: varies from 74-76 F (no chiller, malamig ngayon dito sa Tarlac eh,
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Wala pa akong test kits for calcium, kH and PO4. Saving up for API reef master.
Filtration:
Queen TS-2000
Chaeto
DIY PVC pipe overflow from my previous tank
Return Pump: Forgot the model, basta Resun sya na 2000lph
Wala pang DSB kc kinulang ung sand ko nung initial setup, not sure whether or not I'll include one.
Flow: Just the powerhead that activates my overflow and flow from return pump; gonna buy a wavemaker soon
Lighting:
DT - DIY T5HO, 2x Actinic and 2x 12000K; 8hrs a day
Refugium - 14w (60w output) daylight (6500K) GE cfl; 24/7
Clean-up Crew:
4x fighting conch
3x nassarius (survivors from my FOWLR)
Here's the empty DT i received from my uncle, marami scratches pero ok lang (beggars can't be choosers eh, hehe) as well as my old 50g that leaked, customized to function as my sump
