Hey all,
*Update* I finally got around to editing a video from start to finish. I hope you all enjoy it! I'm definitely thrilled with how the tank is continuing to do great (been running since January).
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).
Hope you enjoy the photos and I'll try to get more up!
