jnelson's Oceanic 30G

[jnelson]

Have had this tank for a few weeks, but haven't actually started a thread, so here we go.

Picked this tank up from Ricky (rickytsui) at a good price, thanks again! It is a non-RR tank and is using HOB/in-tank filtration at the moment, which works just fine. Since its setup I have run into a big problem with brown jelly/slime. This killed off a bunch of LPS corals and caused my water parameters to really take a nose dive. In the end, several corals, fish and CUC members fell victim. I am in the process of slowly restocking, now that everything seems to have stabilized.

Current Hardware:
- Oceanic 30G "cube" (20x18x20) plus stock Oceanic stand
- 2 x BoostLED PAR 30 LED (2 RB, 1 B, 1 CW, 1 NW - 60* optics) bulbs
- 2 x BoostLED Gooseneck Lamp Clamps
- Current Subcurrent In-Tank Filter/Surface Skimmer (filter floss and carbon)
- Tunze 9002 (stock - looking to upgrade to Stevie T cup)
- Vortech MP10ES on Reef Crest
- Aquaclear Heater
- Eshopps Frag Rack
- 30 lbs. each of Live Rock/Live Sand

Current and Expected Livestock:
- Tomato Clown
- Yellow Watchman Goby
- Assorted CUC (Hermits, snails, peppermint shrimp)
- 2nd Tomato Clown (expected)
- Green Coris Wrasse (expected)
- 5th fish of some sort
- Various soft and LPS corals (zoas, palys, mushrooms, photosynthetic gorgonians, duncans, frogspawn)

Attached pics are from prior to tank crash and do not reflect the latest hardware/livestock. Will get some newer pics up asap
