Hello!
I currently run a 25-gallon sps dominant nano reef, but as my acros start growing into the glass and the foxface starts to naturally frags things when he gets excited at feeding time, I am upgrading!!
Details/equipment list:
The method I'll be following for this tank is a modified DSR (Dutch Synthetic Reefing), with a calcium reactor instead of two-part.
More to come! [emoji4]
I currently run a 25-gallon sps dominant nano reef, but as my acros start growing into the glass and the foxface starts to naturally frags things when he gets excited at feeding time, I am upgrading!!
Details/equipment list:
- Tank: Custom 48l x 24w x 20h rimless with 12mm glass, bottom bracing.
- Overflow: Eshopps Eclipse Large, running a bean-animal style.
- Sump: Synergy Reef T26 (storm cloud colour) - not running triton algae refugium, instead using the space for a cryptic zone to keep the display scape minimal.
- Flow: x3 Tunze Stream 3 with flow rectifiers, a 6095 and a 6055 - controlled by Tunze 7096 - Random Pulse 50-100%.
- Return: Eheim 1260
- Skimmer: UltraReef UKS-160
- Lighting: x2 GNC AM366 LEDs, with a sexy PMMA mounting bracket, and x2 GNC Silvermoon Actinic 1047 supplementary LED bars, so a total of approximately 700 diodes. Each Silvermoon uses 90 458nm blue and 36 405nm violet LEDS. The AM366 uses 445nm blues and 14,000K whites. So it should look nice and crisp but not too blue.
- Dosing: AquaCare Turbo-Kalkreaktor size 1 with aquacare turbo calcium granulate and zeomag, plus all top-off being done with saturated kalkwasser. GHL Doser 2.1 for iron and iodine.
- ATO: IKS Vario Blue 2 peristaltic pump connected to Tunze 3155 Osmolator switch (GHL float as failsafe).
- Initial salt mix: Red Sea Blue Bucket. Thereafter Dupla Marin amino active (similar to tropic Marin bioactiv).
- Controller: GHL Profilux 4e with three powerbar 6.1e-PAB.
- Cooling/Heating: Teco TK-500 (GHL as backup/monitor).
The method I'll be following for this tank is a modified DSR (Dutch Synthetic Reefing), with a calcium reactor instead of two-part.
