Tank Builds

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m excited to join the group and connect with other reefers!

My name is Rusty, and I’m based in Milliken, Colorado. I’ve been in the saltwater hobby for a while now, and I’m always learning something new — that’s one of the things I love about this hobby. I wanted to introduce myself and share a bit about my current setup:

🔹 Tank Size: 39 gallon bowfront

🔹 Filtration: Tidal 110 HOB with live rock, filter floss, DIY refugium with chaeto, 9 watt SICCE UV clarifier

🔹 Lighting: [e.g., 2x NICREW 150 watt, Fluval 32 watt bar angled for front lighting

🔹 Flow: Hyger 18w & 12w gyro wavemaker

🔹 Controller: Jaebo dosing pump

🔹 Dosing: [e.g., All-for-Reef daily, plus manual aminos, and photo

🔹 Livestock: Pair of clowns, Tomini tang, royal gramma, lawnmower blenny, 6 line wrasse, conch, hermits, snails,

🔹 Corals: Have a good mix of everything in my tank, but definitely missing some.

I’m currently focused on

dialing in stability for SPS growth and color]. Always happy to chat about reef chemistry, gear hacks, or just cool livestock!

Looking forward to learning from all of you and contributing where I can.

Happy reefing! 🐠🌊
