Hello fellow hobbyists!
How are you all doing?
It's been a long time since I've been here, and although I've kept the hobby going with a small 40-liter nano tank, it's time to set up something a bit bigger.
I'll briefly tell you about the idea I have in mind: I want to set up a lightweight, minimalist system with plenty of water and free-floating sand, a branching structure, and some SPS coral colonies.
The idea is to have an aquarium that's "simple" to maintain, without a disproportionate coral-to-water ratio, like I see in too many aquariums or in my small nano tank. This makes maintenance much more difficult.
The aquarium will be set up in the living room of a standard-sized apartment, and one of the most important things for me is that everything has a cohesive aesthetic and flow, so everything will be done with aesthetics in mind, trying to keep the wiring to a minimum.
And if you've read this far, I have to tell you that the entire system will be designed and assembled by me, in the easiest way possible. I'll be showing you all of this on Instagram @Prismareef in a series of videos that I'll be posting so that anyone who wants to can build a quality aquarium and achieve the aesthetic they desire.
In my case, commercial options like Waterbox or Red Sea don't suit what I want, and the aluminum finishes from custom aquarium manufacturers aren't what I'm looking for. There are also options like SeaDreams; it would be great to enjoy that marvel, but I don't think it's within my budget.
The tank will be 120x50x45 cm, with its corresponding sump, and I'll start with the Triton method.
Cheers! See you around!
