First Aquarium 66 gallons

[Júlio Vanini Neto]

As described in the welcome topic, this is my first aquarium being purchased from a dismantling, topic created in order to share the evolution of corals and fish. I should also mention that I started on 10/28/2019 where I started to gain experience with my mistakes and successes, now let's go to the equipment that I will use for this compilation.

Heater: 100w
Skimmer: New Ocean
Reactor: Skimz MR127 Macroalgae (Chaeto)

I report, after a long time to understand the obvious, being able to control alkaline and calcium reserves, and consequently the ionic balance, I think that in a month I saw a great evolution of my corals.

Hello people! 2021 started with significant changes, including a change of residences, I decided to replace layoult and focus only on SPS Corals.

Hey guys,

Do you know what are the moral obligations of the environmentally responsible hobbyist? Essentially, do you know what you need to do to be a "good" hobbyist who protects nature? See below:

i) treat the organisms in your aquarium well, keeping them in good volume, well-fed, stress-free and quarantined;

ii) not to buy from establishments that treat organisms inappropriately or present illegal practices;

iii) not to remove organisms from the ocean;

iv) not releasing organisms into the ocean;

v) use the aquarium as an awareness tool.

New update of my reef, I decided to introduce a coral plug for my future SPS pieces.

The best test of the reef tank is the daily look of its owner! "Less technology ,More biology"

Hey guys!
change water from my reef, today I changed 20% of collected water (the corals loved it) to lower nutrients, I'm stabilizing my phosphate, dosing Nitribiotic Tropic Marin and Macro Algae Chaetomorpha, even the phosphate at zero heights !!! Now I will start dosing Original Baling Tropic Marin ABC

Cheers!!!
