Hello to everyone my name is Vaggelis and i am glad to finally present you me new Reef Tank!!
I'm happy that after my first nano reef tank (Fluval Evo 13.5) santa brought me an upgrade! The Red Sea Reefer XL300.
Currently i am in the cycling stage started from 1/12/2020.
Dimentions: 90x55x57.5cm
System Volume: 300litres (65gal)
Skimmer: Red Sea Skimmer 300
Rocks: D-D
Sandbed: Caribsea fiji pink
Filtration: for the time being i have only added 20x Maxspec Bioballs and the filter sock that came with it
Lighting: As i am moving from a Fluval Evo 13.5 i have already an AI Prime 16 HD that will use and upgrade to 2 in the next months.
Pump: Skimz Quiet Pro 4000L/h QP4.0
Heater: 2x Eheim 150 watt
I am still in search of wavemakers but due to Corona situation all of foreign sellers need about 3 months for delivery time. ( i am thinking about Jebao CP series)
and trying to figure cable/panels management inside the cabinet.
Regarding the Clycling i used Microbacter 7 and frozen food for the first 2 weeks and now i am on Nite-Out Microbe-Lift and removed any excess food leftovers.
Yesterday measurements:
Ammonia: dropped to 0.5mg/l from 1mg/l
Nitrite: Just started to notice 1-2ppm
Nitrate: arround 5ppm.
I also increased the temperature to 29 Celcius in order to promote bacteria production.
