Hi All,
After spending a lot of reading hours, I am excited to share my 200 liters (53 gallons) MTOS (multi-tank one sump) Mixed-reef system.
As you can guess, I like Clownfish very much, and I’m trying to build a system that can contain all my pairs.
Luckily, a Clownfish pair doesn't need so much space, so now I am growing 6 pairs in a system that is built from 2 display tanks and 1 sump.
I am also using a sump cell and big overflow cells for the smaller pairs. It's not the ideal option but works quite well (for now ).
In the past, I had an experience with breeding Clarkii Clownfish, so, I am planning to breed more special Clownfish species in the future.
No wonder, I love corals as much as I love fishes. My main challenge is to grow both of them in harmony. I grow mainly LPS corals, but I have some soft corals and SPS also.
As you can see, I have 1 Peninsula tank (it doesn't function as a Peninsula as of now) and 1 cube.
Peninsula (94 Liters):
Powerhead - Maxspect Jump Gyre MJ-GF2K
Lights - Orphek - OR3 120 Blue sky, OR3 120 Reef plus
Rock - Real Reef Branch Rock
Cube (70 Liters):
Powerhead - Sicce 2000 L/H
Lights - AI Hydra 32
Rock - Aquaforest aquascape (soon, stay tuned)
Equipment:
Sump - Custom, 40 Liters
Return Pump - Eden 140 Pump 2800 L/H
Heater - Eheim thermocontrol regulator heater
Chiller - Hailea HC-150A (1/10)
ATO - Hydor SRL Smartlevel
Skimmer - Deltec Skimmer 400i
Battery Backup - Simple UPS X2
RODI - Aquaticlife 4 stages
Salt - RedSea black (thinking of changing to the blue one)
The cube in better days, before the Peninsula tank:
In this thread, I’ll try to update any changes in my system and share pictures also. Some nearly future updates:
Of course, I will be happy to answer any questions you have, and I’m always open to broaden my horizens.

In this thread, I’ll try to update any changes in my system and share pictures also. Some nearly future updates:
- Change the cube tank to SPS dominated (Includes aquascape building).
- Speed up the corals growing (Increase PH using Kalkwasser?)
- Automate more operations.
- Move the whole system to a bigger apartment in the summer (September).
- Some equipment changes.
- Add 3rd tank to the system.
- I continue to increase the list in my head, but I must finish somewhere
Of course, I will be happy to answer any questions you have, and I’m always open to broaden my horizens.
