My first reef tank

[Luke61188]

Hi everyone, thought I would start a thread to document my journey into the world of reefing with my first tank.
So my tank is 140 litres 80cm x 40cm x45cm and is setup as a peninsula room Divider between my living room and dinning room.

Equipment that I will be using:
Light- ai prime
Filter- tunze comline internal
Skimmer- tunze 9004
Jebao wavemaker
Aqueal heater connected to inkbird wifi controller

As this is my first reef tank I will be keeping stocking lite with a pair of clowns and a royal gamma and some inverts for a cuc.

When I'm at the stage for corals I will be sticking to those that are easier to keep zoas, mushrooms etc

Awesome!

Sounds like a good plan. Are you planning to use live rock or dry rock? I strongly recommend at least having a bit of live rock if not in its entirety. While you need to quarantine them for pests and allow die off to occur, you can avoid a host of other problems by having a decent diversity of lifeforms from the get go.

I have spent most of the day scaping and re scaping and in finally happy with this layout.
I have used dry rock and I will be using live sand when I'm at the stage to get the tank wet

Scape is looking nice. That may be a bit of a big area to light with just a single prime but maybe not with some lower light stuff. If my conversion is correct it’s about a 28x16x16 tank. Just something to consider.

That scape looks sick! Enjoy.

Thanks!
As this is my first reed tank I'm planning on going with the lower demanding types of corals to start and once I get settled in upgrade the lights for for those higher demanding corals
