Hey hey hey all, So, let me start my new reef adventure with you kind people. But before we get to that point, maybe a bit of history with my reefing career. So it began ......ahhh who wants all that history, Short and sweet here it goes, Started June 2015 with a 120L (30g) - (No pics of that tank - sorry), 5 weeks into my first tank and decided to upgrade already. Built a 200cm Long, 55cm wide and 700cm High tank. Total with sump around 750L (190g). It has been running well in the last few months only, Too many mistakes made but i learned from them. Most important things learned, Patience, Water testing and keep hands out. Anyway here is a picture of that tank.
Around April this year i was toying with the idea of upgrading again. Few things that irritated me with this tank was the noise from the dual tunze overflows, pipes at the back of the tank which meant it was so hard to get to (it was against the wall) and adjust, Center bracing, Most importantly such a deep tank, that i could not get to the bottom of the tank myself to clean the sand bed. Yes i am a bit short, lol.
Playing with idea and now having to also get my better half on board for me upgrading was a challenge. But since me loving this hobby, she just accepted it with no hesitance. And now....The upgrade plans.....
