Hello guys

So I've decided to go for a 55 Ltr nano cube made by Aqua one. 40cm x 40cm x 40cm

At the moment I'm running the standard 500 Lph filter system but will be upgrading to a 1000 Lph external with uv light asap

I'm running a v2 skim 120 protein skimmer which is really noisy! But does the job

Inside the tank I've got a 3 inch crushed coral bed and 4 kilos of live rock. I'm also running a Fluval sea cp2 power head.

I've got the standard led lighting that comes with the tank but will be upgrading soon.

Water wise I'm using "reef crystals" salt from aquarium systems at 1.026 and a temp of 80f.

Still cycling at the moment so it will be a while till you see any updates but you guys will be the first to know
