Hey Everyone,
So thought I would share some pics of my new tank after upgrading from my first salt water tank a AO 160 Mini Reef. Long time viewer of this forum that has given me so much info but I don't post enough sorry !
Tank is a 4ft Cade Pro Reef 1200 S2
Equipment:
-Ripple 12k return pump
- 2x AI Prime HD's (once i start with corals again probably look at Red Sea 90's of Hydra 32's)
- 1 xAI Nero 5 Wavemaker and will add another one soon
- Coral Box 300 skimmer (needs an upgrade)
Livestock:
2 Oscellaris clowns
1 Yellow Tang
1 Blue Tang
1 Melanarus wrasse
3 Dispar Anthias
Trochus, Conch, Nassarius, Turbo snails.
Looking to add a flame angel and perhaps a foxface, happy to hear other's opinions on this ?
Trying to keep it simple as possible and not running any media reactors etc. as yet, had some decent success with old tank running NoPox, Phosguard and Carbon in a media bag only so see how this goes. I do like the idea of the Clearwater type algae scrubbers so will probably head that direction when/if i need to.
I am certainly impressed with the difference in quality and how much quieter this tank is, apart from a slight hum from my skimmer pump is dead quiet and at the start i had to keep checking water was still circulating !!!
No corals in yet (apart from 1 GSP) after Dinos wiped out everything in my old tank about 6 months ago I left it fish only until it was stable again.
