Polyp Lagoon - shallow cube

Polyp Lagoon · Jun 25, 2017

Hi all!

I would like to introduce myself a bit.

My name is Guido from The Netherlands. Had a few tanks in the past. I'm in the process of getting back in the hobby for quite a time now. Tank finally being ordered after designing multiple tank designs. Waiting is almost over, tomorrow is the big day!

I named the tank Polyp Lagoon, why? It's a shallow cube tank. Which will get an minimalistic lagoon scape and hold SPS. Simple as that!

Some specs:

Display: 700x700x400mm, 3 sides Optic-white
Sump: 685x600x400mm
Cabinet: aluminum stand, matte white C-Bond finish, wet and dry section
Total volume: around 285L

Equipment:

Lightning: ATI Powermodule 8x24w dimmable
Flow: 2x Tunze 6040
Return: Vectra M1
Skimmer: Deltec SC1351
Reactor: Deltec FR509
Doser: GHL Doser 2.0

Other info:

Dosing method: Aqua Forest Probiotic, using component 123+
Salt: Aqua Forest Reef Salt (later on it'll be Probiotic)

Cheers!

Welcome to R2R, this looks like it is going to be a great build.

Speaking of builds you can start a build thread here link. I like following the different builds for future ideas and also to see the creativeness of different builds

I will start a build thread when the tank is here

there are lots of threads I got my inspiration from, so it's good to have my own!
