Hey all,
Just wanted to share a build I wrapped up on several weeks ago. I'll try to get better photos and a video in this thread at some point. Framing an aquarium in a wall has been a goal of mine for as long as I can remember.
The tank is a 65 gallon Aqueon.
Very basic set up, but has been flawless for me for 4+ years (moved everything from a 46 to this). NO protein skimmer for years and zero issues with coral expansion and fish health - always low nitrates.
API Filistar M canister filter
Marineland Heater
Digital Temp Probe
Current USA Marine LED light
5-6' deep sand bed (75 lbs of sand)
I can't remember the live rock ratio - probably 50-75 lbs here
2 clowns
starry blenny
royal gramma
melanurus wrasse
4 healthy stalks of hammer coral
closed brain coral
candy cane
misc. mushrooms
I've had all 5 fish for several years now. Any opinions on adding 1 or 2 more fish, or am I stocked up already?
I'm leaning towards a flame angelfish or a blue spotted puffer (or both). I'm open to any suggestions or experiences you've had with either of these fish.
Hope you enjoy the photos and I'll try to get more up!
