Hello everyone. Firstly i want to tell you i am from Croatia so i apologize for any english mistakes. Anyway i am proud owner of 180 gallon mainly soft tank. Now i started new tank with only zoas which i allways loved. Haved old 50 gallon rimless tank in my basement and haved all equipement i needed for at and i said to myself lets try it.
As my main tank is KISS system i decided to go KISS system here. No fancy staff no magical bottles only what tank need. So in system i have skimmer, reactor, 3 part dozer, some 165w led light, stream pump and return pump. That is basiclly it.
As for zoas. I do not have store near me for at least 1000km . Marine aquariums here in Croatia are so low in terms of users thats why any pet stores do not hold live marine corals or fishes. So finding zoas here are pretty hard staff ( not to mention acros or things like that ). At the moment i have maybe 10-15 frags ready for this tank in my main tank waiting to put them on my new rockscape.
As for the scape as i said i dont plan to put anything inside except zoa, paly or parazoanthus. So i made shallow rockscape that takes most of light i can give them. It is around 15-20 kg of mediteranean dry rock that i use from my main tank. It is full dry start rock and sand wise.
Tank started cycling 10.2.2018. Cycling was made without light ( same as my main tank ) with skimmer, wavemaker and return pump on. Cycling was over in 30 days and this week i changed about 30 % of water so it is ready for putting frags in it. Plan for that is on next sunday.
Equipement used:
Skimmer Reef Octopus NWB200int
Return pump Reef Octopus 2000
Wavemaker Jebao sw 15
Jager 200 w heater
Coral box reactor
165 w box light
Parameters at this moment:
Amonia 0
Nitrite 0
NO3 1-3
PO4 0
Sal. 1.025
Temp 26
