New Project : Reefer Peninsula 500

nicodoctor · Jan 23, 2020

Hello everyone. After many years in dry dock and after a recent short experience with a nano, Ifinally return to the hobby with a serious project and I hope definitive one.
I need change the model for location and size, the definitive model is a peninsula 500 of Red Sea. Diring severaI months, I have been collecting some material before buying the tank, which together with the material that I had from my previous stage, will form the initial assembly:
- Lighting: Pacific Sun Hyperion hybrid
- Skimmer: Bubble Magus Curve 36 (a bit exaggerated ...)
- Aquamedic OR 3500 pump (Initially until new change)
- Circulation pumps (pending decision).
- ClariSea CK 3000.
- Jebao dosing machine.
- UV lamp Bary 55w.
- TECO T10 Cooler
As I live near the sea, I am thinking of using seawater and osmosis for initial filling.
I plan to put sand bottom of two granulometries and Marine Pure.
The rock would initially be CaribSea or Real Reef dead rock with bacteria added and I am making a structure with a branched trunk Tonga type of dead coral.
PLEASE tips and suggestions ALL ...
And sorry for my english
