so this is a my first reef tank although its been up and running for over a year and is very much a work in progress I thought id put it up
so the basics are
equipment
evolution aqua 1200s old version tank plus stand and sump
2 x tmc v2power pumps @ 2200lph return pumps (to be changed as there ac not dc)
Now replaced with 2 x ecotech vector S2
1 x tmc v2 300w heater
1 x ecotech radion rx30 gen 3 plus reeflink
reef octo 110 int skimmer
1x bubblemagnus 70cl media reactor as a bio filter
2 Aquarmi KPM wave pumps Now replaced with 2 x ecotech mp40's
1x bubble magnus 400 chiller
1 elitech heater and chiller controller
1x auto aqua awc system
1x jabeo 3.4 wifi dosing pump
2x Evolution aqua evo25s UV units (new purchase)
live stock
2 x orange and white clown fish
3 x red fire fish
5 x yellow tail damsels
1 x six line sand sifting goby
1 x sand sifting starfish
1 x juvinal emperor angel ( will out grow tank when fully grown so will be upgrading tank to match him)
1 x blue with siver speckles bubble tip anemone ( although it looks more pink most of the time )
corals
1 x indo torch (purple with green tips)
1 x toadstool short extections ( sorry don't know the name)
1 x small frag long tentical toadstool
1x small frag neon radioactive green xenia
and thats about it so far for corals just taking it slow with them.
so at the beginning the tank looked like this
ether side is 4 slim book cases setup 2 wide 2 deep ( just cheep ones i had handy at the time and all looking clean and new during its cycle stage.
slowley things have started to happen with it some good some bad once cycled i added cleanup crew and fish slowly
plus my first corals
anyways to keep a long story short for know you get the drift
after a wile its started to look like this
but I have recently removed the center section as it was turning into a dirt trap and have changed it to this
plus added an anemone for the clowns if they choose to host it
and my latest addition's in the attempt to combat the dino out brake that has been on going for six months I've just added 2 uv sterilisers
but anyways its still a work in progress as and when money and time allows
