What’s the plan for fish and corals?

What’s the plan for fish and corals?

I am a beginner
In terms of fish I am considering Clownfish, Yellow Tang, and then I don't really know yet, it will depends of my research or what people recommend, sell, donate. I am dreaming of a Blue tang, but I read that's not very for beginner so I will wait

In terms of corals well I don't know the name yet . same, doing my homework, taking notes etc.
I just purchased from Ryan C. 1x Spiderman Zoa and 1 Deadpool Koa

looks good so far. wish my rsr350 came with the v3 sump. the rsk600 is a beast.

Great start!

so that's where I am today.
I added those lights under so I can see something .
added a H80 tuna Flora.
my skimmer was too low so for now I put a glass container under and ordered egg crate that will arrive Sunday. so I can better elevate it. it's still new.

Top off is not very convenient, wish it has a lid to limit evaporation, but it pretty high to it makes it difficult to refill it. I think I will browse the forum to see how other with the same tank did / are doing.
on the right I added some storage

I know the wiring is not pretty but I don't really want to put a back panel and limit the ventilation. I may run vertical PVC pipe in the back to attach the cables to it, or a vertical C channel. Don't know yet.

I am creeping on other RSR 350 to see how it is organized down there and what gear one is used.

 

[jhuynh]

dont look at mine! the damn calrx took most of the freaking space.

i agree the Red Sea ATO is kind of high, it is really difficult to refill. What I did, I have another portable 4 gal ATO container to fill the Red Sea ATO. The liquid sensor is sitting on the Red Sea ATO.

This double the top off water volume, it can last for around 10 days. I will post a pic when I got home.

I struggled a long time with filling up the ATO container, I eventually just got a pump and 50 feet of tubing and just pump it straight from my RODI storage to the container. I have thought of getting another ATO to refill the built in ATO, but don't have any space to put it on the right side anymore

that is one good solution.

Wish I can do the same, garage where the storage of rodi water is , is not that far, but that will involve a lot of drilling , and wall patching ... wish I had a basement to go under the house but not an option in redwood shores .
