Hi,

Having had many tanks over the years I peaked at a 1000 litre cube, and I have slowly been downizing and ended up with a reefer 170, which I have to say I am rather happy with so far the system spec is as follows:

Tank - Red Sea Reefer 170
Lights- AI Hydra HD 26
Return - Eheim compact 2000+
Flow - 1x vortech MP10 QD and 1x tunze nanostream 6020
Skimmer- Deltec 1350
Reactors - 1x H2Ocean running Rowaphos, 1x Phosban 550 DIY chaeto reactor (in progress)
Doser - 3 channel Kamoer

Will upload some more pictues when I go through my phone to see what i have, and take some new ones when I get chance :)

Today is clearly the days for reefer 170’s haha. This is the second gorgeous one I see today!

Lovely build!
 
Wow loving your tank!
 
Any pics of your equipment available. I’m considering downsizing to one of these and would be interested to see what’s doing down there.

Tank looks awesome by the way. Tight work.

Bit of an update shot. I have changed lighting to T5. I am using a 6x24w dimmable ATI Sunpower fixture. I just wasn' getting the reslts from the LEDs that I had on previous tanks that were T5 lit
