Hello Reefers,

Im from Indonesia .. This is My First Thread here. English is not my native language, so after all this years, i dont have a courage to share my build Tank . But now i will try to share (With Google Translate Help) and I hope you guys understand.

This is my tank spec :

• 75.60.35cm Maintank

• 50.50.35cm Sump ( 2 Chamber, 1st chmber fill with Chaeto and 2nd Chamber for return Pump)

• 3x Noopsyche K7 Pro Lighting

• MP40 Wavemaker

• Atman 105 Return Pump

• 35Gr Phosguard & 100gr Active Carbon change every month.

• 10kg Livesand & 10Kg Liverock, Put 6pcs Mangrove in maintank for decoration.


I Start to build this tank since 21 Sept 2019, at first i plan to build a planted reef tank, macroalgae & softies,its running for almost 9 Month.

But, Sps always be my passion, at first i doubt that i can grow sps in this tank. Because it skimmerless, but then, maybe around June,my friend encourage me and he offered me to take some sps frag from his frag tank , oh ok .. who can resist that kind offer ??

And finally, the adventure begins, i start buying sps colony and share it with my friend. Because here, sps colony is so big and cheap. For only $7, you can have sps colony just like this ..

Of course, this size wont fit in my tank. So i must share it with my friend, and for the rest, i sell it.

Because i buy coral too often,, there is no space left in my tank .And from now on, i just need patience and watch them grow.

And this is Oct'20 FTS :

looking good.
 
Try to revive this thread .. .. So i rescape this tank, change sand and replaced all liverocks, because there were too many pests in them, and replaced them with new liverocks, which were cleaner and pest-free.. All the acropora that were here before, I moved them to a frag tank.. and start all over with new acropora frags .. im so admire Yano Iwagumi Reef tank, and his Boomie concept, so for this time, im trying to replicate his idea .. not as good as his, but here we go ..
