Hello everyone! I’m one week into cycling my first saltwater tank with the Red Sea reef mature starter and I can’t wait until it’s ready for fish. I’ve always loved visiting aquariums and have wanted clownfish forever.

This is my set up!

125L Fluval Roma with U3 filter, heater & lights (upgrading at a later date when I’m ready for corals)

Tunze 9001 protein skimmer (not in the picture)

DD Funktion wavemaker 4000lph
DD ATO Unit

I used Marco rock and stuck the rocks together with Marco rock mortar and the sand is aquaone coral sand.

This has all been a huge learning curve and I’ve done hours upon hours of research but still learning more as I go!
