Hi Everyone!

My name is Ianne (Ian for short) I started reefing in New Zealand back in 2017. I am base in the Netherlands now. This is my 32ish gallon/125liters 50cmx50cm cube.

Its a 13 month old tank and the method I am using is Dutch Synthetic Reefing DSR a no waterchange method by Glenn Fong from the Netherlands. The tank has been running in DSR method since day 1 after the cycle so no waterchangr has been done.

Tank has no chaeto reactor, no refugium, no gfo no algae scrubber. Only carbon dosing for nutrient export.

These are my parameters that I keep my tank at and it had been very stable only small corrections of Alkalinity 1 or 2 weeks roughly 0.3-0.5ppm drop ever week or 2.
Alkalinity 9dkh
Calcium 440ppm
Magnesium 1350ppm
N03 2.5ppm
Po4 0.04ppm

Lighting is AI Hydra 26 HD with 4 ATI t5 bulbs 2 blue plus and 2 actinic.

Understood. Its particularly difficult with Latin names. Do you have a preference to LPS or SPS corals or to how they will look? Your tank look like you have spent a good deal of time in planning.

No planning at all but when I set up the rock I already imagined whats is going to be on top and what's going to be at the bottom. I love sps because they are challenging LPS I love them too because they make my tank more alive because of the movement they make.
