So, I'm back in saltwater again, after a 6 years break.. Last time I tried with a Clown-hotel tank and unfortunately killed all living accidentally..
Two weeks ago, I found a bargain, a fully equipped 430 L tank, complete with furniture, 70 kg LR, corals and 7 green chromis.
I hope to have better luck this time, and I'm certainly not going to do the same mistakes again..
Equipment:
No sump
Maxspect Razor 120w
Deltec MC 500 skimmer
Jebao sw8 streamer
Vida XL dual streamer

When I first connected the Jebao wavemaker, it didn't work of course, so I had to order a new one.
The other one (Vida XL) is equipped with a suctioncup and didn't stick to the window, so the result was a complete mayhem in the tank.. It was like having a jet airplane loose in the tank.. [emoji41]
After some thinking i decided to try to shift the suctioncup to the magnetic socket, from the broken Jebao. After some drilling and fixing, the result was satisfying [emoji5]
