Just thought I'd say hello from the wirral U.K ( near Liverpool), I thought I'd join this forum as I love chatting reefs and sharing knowledge with just about anyone that wants to listen . I've been in the hobby for 29 years. I've had all kinds of reefs, setups, equipment, and livestock known to man during that time. I've killed a lot of stuff and also had a lot of success. I've seen the hobby grow and mature along with the explosion of information available. Sadly although well meaning not always accurate. My current setup is a mixed reef (LPS and SPS dominant) 120 u.s gallon. It's 12 months old and I'll be putting the first accropora in, in about 3 weeks and a few other bits. The tank is pretty much automated and stable. Water changes are done at 2ml per minute with 2 stepper dosing pumps, I run my skimmer for 24 hours once a week. I auto test alk using a kamoer KH carer, lighting is 2x Radion XR15 and 1X XR30. I dose 2 part. I also dose a shelf life phyto 4 species mix. I manually dose spirulina. I run a reef factory P.H probe, titanium heaters and inkbird temp controller.
