Hope everyone reading this is having a good week :)

so I've from the UK and have had my Fluval Sea Evo 52l up and running for around 3 or 4 months now and everything is going fine :)

I have upgraded chamber 2 to have a media basket which I have various biological media and I run activated carbon.

I am about to add some phosguard as I've notice some brown algae starting to appear (not diatoms - already been through that cycle) but wont run this for to long as my levels are generally good but I have upped the feeding of Mysis recently.

live rock - no idea the weight
live sand
Sicce 0.5 return pump
Reefsomething 4k lph wavemaker (another rebranded Jebao I think)
current stock lid and stock LED
2 * 50w heaters hooked up to an Inkbird controller
Tunze wall coral stone

live stock:

2 clowns
1 signal goby (hence upping the feeding of Mysis slightly as this fish has basically finished with the mircofuana in the live sand bed... basically have to turn off all pumps to spot feed the goby)
4 blue hermits
1 emerald crab
3 turbo's
2 not sure snails haha
1 Duncan
6 Zoa's
2 Macroalgae

but yeah so far I am loving the tank and will upgrade to a bigger tank in a couple of years :)

thanks for reading

hello :) and thank you for the warm greetings

sorry to hijack my own welcome thread but more probably see this thread vs the DIY one I have created :(


anyone have experience using a custom lid?

affectively going from a 1kg lid to 2.7kg - images posted etc in the above link :)

will create my own build thread at some point as well in case anyone wants to follow and get ideas
