Would love to share the progress of my dream tank with you guys.
I’ve started my reefing journey almost 3 years ago. I started out with a red sea max260. 3 months ago we moved houses and my wife let me build my dream tank. Although not as big as most people would go I love the size of my tank. I went with an inwall Waterbox Peninsula 3620. The tank is located in our dining room.
Just a quick overview of the equipment I run:
Tank: Waterbox Peninsula 3620
Lighting: Giesemann stellar with 2 Radion G5 XR30 Blues
Skimmer: Reef Octopus Regal 150 int
Wavemakers: 2x AI Nero 5, 1x AI Nero 3
Controller: Apex A2 with the Trident and ATK kit.
Return: Eheim 1200L per hour
Doser: Red Sea reefdose 4
Algae reactor: Paxbellum N18
The reef did great the first few weeks after the move, however after about 8 weeks my Phosphates hit 0 and there was some STN on a few acropora. I send out an ICP test and also found some heavy metals in the water, which were leaking from my RO water. Did a 30% waterchange and changed my RO filters. Hopefully the acropora will recover.
Enjoy the pictures of my set-up and would love some feedback!
