Ok, so lets raise the curtain on the project and record the journey - warts and all...
First venture into reefing after a year of freshwater (all-in-one tank) experience. I swore I'd never go marine (Far too complicated), but figured I'd be brave and give this a try... What could possibly go wrong? [I've read enough to know the answer to my own question - everything!]
Tank and Sump - Custom by https://www.starfireaquatics.com.au (Slightly longer than 4ft display - a somewhat "unique" depth and height based on restrictions of my house / where tank is located)
Return Pump - Vectra S2 (Or rather it will be when it turns up - currently running on a loaner pump - thanks local store!)
Flow - AI Nero 5
Lights - Currently 2 x AI Prime; Will go to 3 soon (Reasons why are a whole other dramatic story which will follow)
Sand - Paleo sand
Rock - Marco Rocks
Skimmer - Reef Octopus Essence 130
Heater - Aquael Gold 500w
Heating control - Inkbird
Cycling - kick-started by Dr Tims One and Only
