Hi guys,
First post here, yay!
Few words about myself:
I am 30 years old, living in Hungary, Budapest (sorry for my English in advance!).
I am in the hobby for more than 13 years, had all kinds of tanks, first softies, later fish only, now SPS tank since 2016 december.
Current system:
160 x 75 x 55 cm glass aquarium
ATB Medium size skimmer
3 x Philips Coralcare LED unit
2 x Jebao RW 15; 1 x Jecod CP40 cross flow pump, 1 x Tunze nanostream 6025
1 x Aquamedic 4 channel dosing pump
1 x 50 mg/h Ozone generator (only used in case of emergency)
~ 70 kgs of dry live rock
List of fish:
15 x Chrysiptera parasema
1 x Naso Elegans tang
1 x Yellow tang
1 x Pseudochromis fuscus (pure yellow)
1 x Cirrhilabrus punctatus (adult)
1 x Pseudocheilinus hexataenia
2 x Ocellaris clownfish
Corals:
Mostly SPS with a few LPS. Not so good at proper latin names though, so I don't even try to list them. I very rarely purchase big size corals, I prefer frags. Sadly in Hungary it is very difficult to buy really special corals so most of the frags (roughly 50%) I purchase brown / bleached.
Maintain:
I follow a standard Berlin method. Strong flow, skimming, nothing more. Used to try algae filter but it reduced nutrients greatly to a dangerously low levels so I removed it temporarily.
For balling I use lab grade Calcium chloride, Sodium bicarbonate and Magnesium chloride + Fauna Marine balling light trace elements + Aquaforest NaCl free marine salt.
I do not do any water changes, but doing regular TRITON water analysis to maintain / replenish missing elements.
That is all for now, few pictures from my tank, I am really curious about your comments on it!
