Well it’s about time I did a build thread. Never done one before and this tank is now nearly 1 1/2years old but has been a very slow (and patient!!!!) build. I’ve had fish in here for close to a year but corals went in less than two months ago. So far so good. My aim is LPS with some softies: whatever the angels allow really. And a bunch of fish.
Equipment:
Tank - RSRXXL750
Lights - 5 x Coral Box Moon LED V3
Flow - 2 x Maxspect Gyre 130
Skimmer - Tunze (OLD lol) modified with reef octopus collection cup
Filtration - Sump is full of Chaeto and Caulerpa Brachypus algae for Nitrate/Phosphate control. Also a fuge for all sorts of pods etc
Carbon changed monthly.
Sump light - 55watt hydroponic LED
Heat - 300w + 150w Eheim Jager controlled by Inkbird controller
Return - Sunpole Magnus 6000L DC
Maintenance:
Monthly - 20% water change mostly with seawater I collect myself, always use this opportunity to vacuum my sand. Change carbon. Pull out excess algae from fuge. Clean pumps or inside skimmer if needed.
weekly - Clean out filter socks and skimmer cup 1-2 times per week. Water test. Clean glass.
KISS
method.
