Hi everyone
Not my first tank journal, but it is my first time on R2R.
I'm in Brisbane, QLD, Australia.
This is my second reef tank. Some stats-
Tank: Aqua One Minireef 120
Return pump: stock standard Moray
Skimmer: Cadlights PLS-50 Elite with 100 watt isolated step down transformer
Lights: Originally the AquaOne LEDs that came with tank, then upgraded to AI Prime
Rock: started from dry, purple coloured. Can't remember brand/type.
Wavemaker: Jebao RW-8P
Test kits: Red Sea Foundation Pro (calcium, magnesium, KH), Red Sea Nitrate (useless), Hanna Checker low-range phosphate
Refugium: no-name red & blue light from Fish Street with chaetomorpha macro algae
Water: Natural salt water & RODI. Manual top off.
Dosing: no auto dosers. I have dry calcium chloride & bicarb soda, but yet to really use it at time of posting this.
Test kits: Red Sea (Nitrate, Calcium, KH, Magnesium), HANNA checker (phosphate low range)
Photos are iPhone 6 in early photos, and iPhone X from late 2018 onwards.
Using AusReef Aquarium Camera Filters.
Any edits made are to add or correct details
