JBJ 45 Rimless Tank Build

lifeoffaith · 11/07/2018, 07:19 PM

So excited about my new tank build. I've built my own tank stand with some repurposed wood from my brother's home remodel. The tank is a used JBJ45 rimless and I picked up a used AI Prime HD. Best equipment I've ever owned. I'm a big fan of all in one tanks, so this is a really fun one for me. I am currently building the tank around a planned warty frogfish. I'm thinking that I'm going to go with an SPS dominated tank. My rock work is in process and I'm hoping to go with a minimalist overhang. I know it'll leave less room for coral, but I love the look and it will leave lots of room on the sand bed for the frog fish. I've got a few mollies converted to full saltwater and hoping to breed them in saltwater for a regular source of food.

Anyone have experience with frogfish and SPS?

Looking to potentially pick up a doser, ATO and controller. Any recommendations?

Looking at changing my plans a bit and going with a macroalgae biotope tank. My thoughts are Japan, Indonesia or for the the ease of the biotope, just sticking with a Carribean biotope. I know there are a few of you doing macro biotopes out there, so I'd really covet your thoughts. Have you had luck sourcing algaes from various locations?
