G’day mate Sydney here myself! Great tank, take your time with the cycle. What do you have in mind for auto top off?

I hadn't thought that far ahead. I went with the 160 as the sump had the reservoir. Anything you'd recommend?

G'day!

My name is Anthony and I live in the northwest of Sydney. I've been interesting in reef keeping for years now and recently dove in with an AquaOne Mini Reef 160.

The tank is currently cycling (with two king prawn heads - old school, so I've been told). I noticed today the protein skimmer was finally getting something other than white bubbles in the cup so (I think) something's going right.

I wouldn't mind some feedback on the reefscape - you can find a video here:



I was planning on stocking with some(3-5) blue/green chromis, a clown or two, a flame hawkfish, a valentini puffer and maybe a yellow tang plus the usual CUC. I'm still a bit unsure as where to start with coral, I could probably do with a little advice there too.

Thanks for having me!
AntHill.

Welcome to R2R! Looks like you are off to a great start. You may want to hold off on the yellow tang until you upgrade in the future. Your tank might be a little small for that particular fish.

Welcome - and beautiful tank! Don't worry about adding extra rock. You have plenty! It can be hard for people to visualize the final product.

A nice brain perhaps to draw attentive to the left side down the road....



Or leave it open - your fish will thank you!

That's brilliant, thank you!
