Hi all,
My Name is Alex and I live in Bavaria, Germany. Welcome to my Tank build and progress thread!
First, I want to give you some details about my SPS tank, how it currently looks like and a bit of the way to get there.
Furthermore, I try to give you some more or less frequent updates.
Some recent pictures:
It is a 1150l/300g SPS peninsula Tank.
Bare Bottom with exception of a small area at the back wall for my Wrasses to sleep in.
For maintaining the main parameters, I use a Dastaco II Xtrema A3 1600L calcium reactor and a GHL dosing pump for Mg, K, Sr and Traces.
I changed some weeks ago from Fauna Marin balling light 2-part, which worked great but the demand was too high and I had some issues with my dosing pump. So far, the Dastaco works absolutely well like a Swiss clockwork!
I started the planning for my new system in the beginning of the last year with some CAD sketches, many different Ideas and options… yada yada yada this is the final version:
The rockwork:
Beginning of June 2017, the first water went in and a week later I started to stock the tank with the first frags
