My Waterbox Reef 100.3 - Started Feb. 2020

[Ben FL]

Hi,

This is my first post here, I'll try to introduce my current set up.

It's a Waterbox Reef 100.3, start at the end of Feb. 2020.

Hardware :
- Nyos 160
- Pair of Gyre 330
- Coralcare Gen 2 (since 2 weeks, before I had 2x 130w Ethereal)
- Jump DC8K
- 16kg of living rocks
- About 13kg of CaribSea rocks
- Blau single sensor ATO
- Aquamedic EVO4 - Fauna marin balling light with oligo
- ICP each 3 months

For RO, I produce at home with a 50GPD (without booster pump), with 2 differents resins at the end (0 ppm - all at 0 ICP).

An APEX is also coming next week.

For now not many corals but I prefer introduce slowly to prevent corals burn with my in-experience with this new Led ;)

Fish :
- 1 Ctenochaetus Strigosus
- 1 Gramma Loreto
- 2 Clown fish

Invertebrate :
- 1 Archaster
- 1 Ophiure Superba
- 1 Metalia Sternalis
- 2 Wudermanni
- 1 Debelius
- 15 Nasarius
- 3 Turbo
- Some astrea, euplicas etc...

Corals for now :
- 3 acanthastrea
- 1 caulastrea
- 1 blastomussa
- 2 Duncano
- 1 Euphylia
- 1 Australian Sarcophyton
- 1 Montipora digitata
- 1 seriatopora
- 1pink montipora
- 3 accros (acclimating in progress)
- 1 seriatopora calendrium (acclimating in progress)

Some Cyanos for now, they are disapearing I'm confident they will totally disapears in 1 or 2 weeks.

Below somes pics.
I hope my English is comprehensible :D

I previously had a Reefer and wanted to compare by myself, I can assume today that I have no regrets ;)

The white Philips CoralCare fixture looks sweet! How do you like it so far?

Previously I had 2x Ethereal 130W, and corals was not great.

After just somes days running under Coralcare, corals was better than ever before.
Plus, the coralcare is easier to use (the spectrum is already in the ramp).

Edit : no noise at all from coralcare (without cooling fan)
