Hello all !

I thought it would be cool to share some info and photos about my new setup, which is a second hand Waterbox 90.3.

Here is the equipment list :

- Sicce 4 return pump
- Eshopps S200 protein skimmer (old gen)
- Maxspect Razor LED
- Apex A3 pro controller
- Tunze 6105 powerhead
- 300w Jager heater
- Home made ATO with Apex sensors

I have 50 lbs of liverock coming from my older 125 gal tank. Since I had a very bad velvet outbreak in this older tank, the liverock were kept in a rubbermaid tube 45 days with heater and small pump.

The only fish that survived was a marine beta. I treated him with copper power a full month and he is now the only fish in the new tank. New fish are arriving this week and will be put in QT.

I must say, I never had a controller before, and I am really enjoying setting up and using the Apex.

Happy reefing !

I'm glad you liking the apex! Those things make life so much easier, plus it's nice to see an overview of your tank from your phone.

Hey !

The tank is now 5 months old. I am really happy with the evolution. Here is a video :

youtube link

Here is the livestock list :

- 2 Redsea clownfish
- Carpenter's flasher wrasse
- Pintail fairy wrasse
- Flame hawkfish
- Longnose hawkfish
- Midas blenny
- Royal gramma

- BTAs x 2
- Bubble coral
- acan
- Lobo x 2
- trachy
- hammers
- green torch (purple tips)
- candy canes
- plate coral
- duncan

- Strawberry conch
- BLH
- trochus snails
- blood shrimp

Parameters :
Alk = 9.3-9.6
Ca = 440
Mg = 1420
NO3 = 10-15
PO4 = 0.06-0.10
Temp = 77.5-78
pH = 7.8 - 8.0

I plan to add some easy sps frags in the next months and I also would like a clam very much.

I will add a Blue flasher wrasse soon (this will be my last fish).

I might upgrade my Maxspect razor for 2 gen2 nicrews when they become available in Canada.

Thanks ! Have a nice weekend !
