G'day reefing buddies. This is my first post and let me introduce my tank and bit of details.
  • From : Australia
  • Tank: WaterBox Reef 130.4
  • Age of tank: 11 months 9 days
  • Filtration: ClariSea 3000
  • Return Pump: sicce syncra sdc 7.0

Automation:
  • KH Guardian for Alk
  • Arduino along with Atlas Scientific EC, PH and Temperature sensor. Kalkwasser drip can be turned off depending on PH range
  • Automatic water change
  • ATO reservoir top off using ESP 8266
  • InkBird temperature controller which control heater and fan

Chemistry:
  • I had no clue about reefing when I started 11 months back and mostly followed RedSea recipe, so you will see many RedSea bottles in my sump area.
  • Red sea salt blue or red what ever available
  • KH buffer: Hy-Clor pH Increaser (Soda Ash) it's a swimming pool product
  • Ca buffer:Hy-Clor Calcium Increaser it's a swimming pool product
  • Mg: RedSea

I use GFO, small amount of carbon and A Zeo

I'm liking this hobby very much (I guess my wife too ;)) and soon getting a second tank which is again WaterBox LX 340.7 . My plan is to combine my existing system with the new one
Now please enjoy some pictures (hope you will enjoy :drooling-face: )


It's bit tight
