Hi all,
My name is Ken Lee, i am from Malaysia & now reside in China.
My reefing hobby started around 12~13yrs ago. First venturing into FOWLR for 1year then direct dive into SPS dominant tank after that. But after 2years, sadly i have quit due to new oversea work assignment in China.
My background SPS reefing concept is believing over skimming, over lighting, very high flow & zero nutrient back dated to those 12years ago concept
My tank/sump size is measure 3ftx1.5ftx15ft each which total water volume:90gals but i have 4ft tall twin beckett nozzle skimmer, using 2X Large Luminarc reflector with 250W Hamilton 14KK bulbs supplement with 2X ATI T5 actinic or Blue+ & using Tunze TS12 as wavemaker which has total flow of 24000l/h flow in such a small DT & lastly using 3ft tall Ca Reactor with Rowalith media which able to handle 6ft tank in fact all my equipment can support 4 to 6ft tank easily.
In those days, all SPS are call by its scientific name mostly & no fancy name like nowadays. I think it is less confusing. SPS mostly single or dual colors only. At that time Indon mariculture SPS still very new & Fiji SPS is the holy grail for us.
Those days, my tank mainly consist of Fiji/Indon SPS, no Aussie SPS coral available either. I still remember that time most SPS reefer using MH only with T5/VHO supplement & T5 that time still new, no LED yet. Tunze is the only real wide flow wave maker available at that time beside Maxijet or Rio; or u can chose to use close loop system using pressure pump like Iwaki.
Pictures below are my old tank pictures.
More details of my old tank in the link below (sorry for the poor photography skills)

This thread is meant to document my new SPS reefing journey after a decade absent in reefing & share all my lesson learnt along the way & hope it can benefit to the reefing community here. All below statements here are purely my personal opinion & experiences; share with u all in good will.
