Cheers. Two ai prime16HDs (fixed to wall with microwave oven brackets) and two aqua ray strips (front and rear), hidden in top surround.Good looking tank. What lights are you using?
Cheers. The screen just lays on a platform to keep it about an inch under the surface of the water. Most of the flow through the sump (guessing about 1500ltrs / hr) is directed over it. The lighting is next to upgrade. I’m using this ancient growlight (think it’s supposed to be a 36 watt, but not sure as I bought it years ago and there’s nothing written on it). It’s also too big, and gets in my way, constantly.Lools great Garf. Your ATS screen just lays horizontal passively in the sump? What are you using to light it?
So, my params;Tank is now 6 months old, so here’s an updated pic;
No shortage of flow that’s for sure. 2 x maxspect 230s (50% on Ocean Gyre setting), 2 x old hydor Corallias 2400s and lots of sump return water. Had to move the 1 rock of zoas around the back, to give them a rest because they were fragging there selves. On the upside, I’ve got 3 rocks with them on nowNice! looks like there's plenty that'll grow in
Is that 3 different wave makers I see?
I had a similar problem on my previous tank which I had for around 10 years, and that was with loads of proper live rock. Then I put a UV on and never replaced the bulb and just turned it off after 18months or so. Hoping this tank will behave similarly;I like how you added a UV as soon as you saw bacterial issues. If only I was as wise.
