I’m currently running a RSR 250 which is coming along nicely and really happy with it..
Back in the game... RSR 250 build

HOWEVER [emoji23] I am currently building a new house which is going to be open plan and a social space so I also want a tank to reflect that!
The build started 11 weeks ago and here’s the progression so far.
My plan for equipment:-
Tank - Custom build in the UK by aquarium connections.
Return - Maxspect Turbine Duo 9K [emoji736]
Skimmer - To be decided
Lights - Orphek V4 Atlantiks
Filtration - XFilter 1.0, Refugium
Controller - Apex 2016 [emoji736] Trident when it comes to the UK.
So I’ve been buying bits of kit as I go, it’s been great to get goodies but very frustrating I can’t play with them yet!
I have lots of time on my hands before the tank is ready to go in place. I managed to dig out some dead rock from my 1st tank 11yrs ago and so excited to revive it and get it back in a reef!
That given its needs some love!
My plan:-
Week 1 - bleach bath [emoji736]
Week 2 - dechlorination bath [emoji736]
Week 3 - water change and another dechlorination bath
Week 4 - dry rock out completely in sun
Week 5 to 9 - start cycle in bin with microbactor 7
Week 10 to 14 - expose to natural light add dr Tims
Week 14 to 18 - continue cycle add piece of coraline rock from existing tank
Week 19 onwards - continue cycle in tank with NSW
I’m hoping this schedule will offer some diversity in bacteria and make the in tank part quite short.
Thanks for reading, updates will be slow initially!
