Hi Everyone,

My name is Marco Pardun am 41 years old and come from Germany, Dortmund. I have started 4 years ago with the sea water hobby. Only with a Nano aquarium (80l) and after 3 months became from it 270 l Cube. For me a sea water aquarium has been always very fascinating and already wanted to own as a small boy once one. We had at home always an aquarium, my father had already had this hobby and then I had got already very early my own aquarium … Fresh water ;)

Now my aquarium stands since 7 months (06/19/2014. Everything has started with the fact that I wanted to have with pleasure a space divisor. However, this should not be too big. This is why I have decided on the size from 150x50x50cm. It has been important for me that the expiry shaft is not in the aquarium and does not disturb thus the optical impression. Therefore, the overrunning is outside on the back wall. The Tank also has a Namen: KingsLand. Before that there was a aquascaping tank, with the Name: KingsTree


The technology exists only of few components, a conveyor pump of Jebao, a current pump of Jebao, RW-8 and a skimmerof Bubble Magnus Curve 5. In addition one more whirl filter comes for the coal and Po4 absorber.


The LED lamp is built by myself, because I have really liked no lamp available in the market. However, by the development of the lamp I wanted to save no money, but a very good lamp build from the technology and design.


The Tank is supplied with the Triton method ( Home | Triton GmbH) and there must been no other additions in addition. Besides, also a water change is not necessary. All 3 months a lab analysis of the water is made, in the Triton lab. With it this can certainly tune to themselves his the water values. 1-2 I give the week coral feed or plankton in the aquarium.

Tank specs
- 60x20x20 inches (150x50x50cm)
- Diy LED Lampe
- Pump Jebao DC 3000
- Jebao RW-8
- Bubble Magus Curve 5
- DIY Filter for Coal and Po4 Absorber
- And the good heating from Eheim


The aquarium is pursued with the Triton method. Besides, no water changes must be made. Every day I clean the discs and changes all 4-6 weeks the coal filter which always runs. In addition a po4 absorber, which I still comes according to him how high the Po4 Value is starts. The great with the Triton method is easy that I have more time for the corals and fish and me more on it
can concentrate …


Livestock list
Fische: 8 x pseudanthias pulcherrimus / 8 x Chromis caerulea/ 1 x Chelmon rostratus / 1 X Zebrasoma flavescens / 2 x Neocirrhites armatus / 2 x Amphiprion ephippium / 1 x Labroides dimidiatus / 2 x Lysmata amboinensis
