Hi from Zurich; Introducing my FM Reef Tank

[infinite0180]

Awesome! How do you keep you sand soo nice and clean?

 

[dimidragos]

That one is from exactly now (glas not cleaned...)

If your tank looks like that with "glass not cleaned" i want to throw mine on the window now!! I'm lucky that is too heavy...600kg
And please, if you continue to post this kind of indecent pictures i must block you or i start to have destructive ideas...

 

[dimidragos]

Yes it is just a small tank with no system in it

Now i understand, you are a kind of beginner....you don't have 7 diffrent reactors, 3 computers a huge skimmer or other different stuff...i believe that this is the reason we don't see any sign of algae....if you need any advice regarding this i can answer your question.

Love all those big mature colonies. I could sit and stare at that reef all day. Just beautiful. Got to love the minimal sump under that extremely healthy, thriving reef! Well done and thanks for sharing!

Good morning
I just remove 3 - 5% of the sand during water change and replace with fresh new sand (what is recommended to prevent the OTS)

I already had many controller and computer and technique on that tank. It didn't make anything better or easier, but more complex.
I asked myself what I really wanted: A system, easy to controll, easy to keep, easy to clean, as less technique as possible. The skimmer is probably to small for that tank; but what would be the sign that I should install a bigger one?

Which colour would you prefer?

Which colour would you prefer?

in my opinion second it's nice and bright, third is kind of more elegant, first maybe not best. Its hard to speak about colors if you don't see what it's around also...

Welcome Sr, the first two are the ones I like more.

Amazing tank! I visit Zurich regularly (I grew up in Adliswil) and often wondered if there were any reefers around there. I Googled marine shops etc but couldn’t really find much so where do you buy your stock from? I might be in Zurich in September so if you have any shop tips please let me know as I’d love to visit a Swiss fish store!

Hi Tony
I buied my stock from every shop that I could find, in Switzerland. There is no saltwater shop in the city of Zurich. I live very close to the airport (-> Glattbrugg).

Here are the shops which are close to Zurich:
coraldreams
nano-riff
seaplanet

When there were deliveries from Fiji or Australia, I used to drive to the shops in other Cities like Bern, St. Gallen or a very good one in the Fürstentum Liechtenstein: Colorals
