I plan on starting the tank using this method: ZeoVit Basic Information (FAQ) - zeovit.com

My name is Oskar, and i'm 14 (soon 15 =D) I live in Sweden
I've had a fascination for water as long as i can remember, even though i were scared of it =P.
I started reading and learning about reefkeeping for a little more than 3 years ago, and now i feel like i'm ready to take the step! (i followed the "read until you think you read enough, then read twice that amount" advice, and I'm a quick learner =P So i think im ready!)

A short walktrough of my thinking about this setup/system.

Tank: 360L 90x80x50cm with external overflow, using BeAn overflow
Light: 210w LED, 70x 3w Cree, will show the build in this thread later. (This is my own "future" product, and i'm having a PCB, controller prototype manufactured as we speak. It will have the possibilities to do "anything" storms, mooncycles, almost like GHL controlling... (More Later)
Waterflow in Tank: Probably one Vortech MP40WES to start with, then another when the reef grows...
Sump:202L 113x50x35,8cm
Skimmer: Regii Large (More Later...)
Zeoreactor: Not really sure yet, probably something own, just need a good design first...
Return Pump, split to Fragtank: Laguna 4500L/h
Fragtank: 130L 118x55x20cm
Fragtank Light: Not Really descided how many LEDs, But My own Design and Product...
Dosing Pump: Either GHL 4 w/controller OR Bubble Magus doser...
Dosing Container: Little Special, Will post pics later...

My goal with this tank is to create a reef, in which Corals, fish and lower animals will thrive! That's why i chose the Zeovit system. (Another factor that made me choose Zeo is that Andrew (V1... Rotate) uses it, love his reef!)

Although i'm "only" 14/15, i'm in the progress of starting a bussiness, in which i will produce and sell products for Reef use! Thats why i will use a lot of my own products (more than listed) To test them as prototypes!

This is all for now, hope i have not forgotten anything! I sincerely hope that you will enjoy the journey! I will in detail document all progress!

This first post is Copied from my other thread at Zeovit forum...
I got threads on RC, Zeovit and my local forum SVG (in swedish)
All named the same!

Oskar =)

Heavy furniture! =P

Well, today (tonight) I've dissassembled some furniture...

My dad joked about them weighed about the same as the tank! And god he was right! =P
I might be young, but I train a LOT and should be able to lift them, haha, not a chance!!! And that were the "smallest" part! Will post pics once it's all gone ! =)

Thanks, both of you!

Eggie: Well it is a lot of water =P Largest tank i've owned is our freshwater downstairs at about on quarter of this size! But I'm a guy that really fights for what i want, and i've been SOO looking forward to this moment for 3 years =D Soon... Soon... =)



Hmm as "nothing" is ordered yet, i'm thinking about if i should do a "ordinaire" 100g 125x60x50 cm, as the "two island" look is so nice! =P And i drew a quick sketch and i'm not sure hmm I'll post some pics soon... Tell me what you think!
