Making plans for my BC29. I am planning on picking up a powerhead or two. Any advice on placement?
I'm moving over the summer and I'll be getting rid of the crushed coral substrate. There is also 30lbs of sand already in the tank, is that plenty or should I add more sand after I ditch the crushed coral?
I have already modded the back chambers to hold the inTank filter basket and fuge basket. I cut out that plastic tab and knocked out the false bottom in chamber 1 for my heater. Is a better pump necessary? The stock pump sucks from what I understand, but it moves water enough to keep the xenias happy.
Any other ideas for it?
45ish lbs of live rock
30lbs live sand/ 25lbs crushed coral (the crushed coral will be gone when I move this summer)
Corals:
silver and brown xenia (the brown started as 1 stalk and has become 3 in just over a month)
zoas
<?frogspawn, currently mia. it was a tiny frag and I think something ate it.>
Macros:
halimeda
chaeto (in the fuge)
Inverts:
2 peppermint shrimp (they really do eat aiptasia, at least mine do!)
2 blue leg hermits
1 mystery hermit that has red legs w/ green dots
2 stomatella snails
25 or so various other snails
1 brittle sea star, the brown and tan one
1 feather duster
Fish:
1 orange ocellaris clown
1 black ocellaris clown
2 blue/green chromis
1 six line wrasse
