Namaste y'all, Sammy here from Eastern india.
I am having another foray into reefing after a long while. I was 16 when I started my first setup, I am 27 now. I had a 3 feet, 70 gal setup with mostly Lps, a huge sebae anemone, few tridacna clams, tubastrea and nps gorgs, and few acros too, with a hang on bubble magus nac 5e skimmer, Chinese Dsuny/popbloom leds, a sump fuge with pl lights lol. I didn't have any major issues at my watch.. but to my misfortune sadly, it leaked while I was away for uni. Tank got shifted elsewhere and things went down south from onwards,
I've been wanting to start over for a while and build a somewhat low maintenance setup.
My goals are for a mixed/grow out tank, a bit heavy on NPS especially tubastrea, orange cup, sun, black sun etc. dendronephthea, umbelluifera, nps gorgs and so on too.
And this time get more of what we in India consider 'Import' and less of 'local' that is stuff collected in snorkeling depths from reefs in india. They in general are more of greener, dull pastel morphs albeit much cheaper. Some people fill out their tanks with those and I would presume mostly kill/crash the stuff out of ignorance. And officially its all illegal, all 'reef building' corals are technically banned as a schedule 1 sp. Under wildlife act. But like some things out here it's an unregulated circus haha.
That aside this is some equipment I got for my setup. Got some low iron glass cut out, and planning to diy the sump out of acrylic.
And hopefully will be mostly fun!
