Natural Sea Water

---

I collected NSW for it...... see the salinity..... it 40sg.
I need to add good quantity of RO water..... I think it will be more than 200 liters...

 

[syedjilani]

Natural Live Sand (NLS)

---

Collected Four buckets Natural Live Sand from Sea..... it was pathetic to lift 40-50 KG of each bucket and walk in the sea....

I collected two different grain size sand......

Fine grain and white sand for DT, as it will give more bright look and will help for more reflection at the bottom of the tank...

See what I got.

A bucket of White fine sand..

Natural Live Sand (NLS)

---

Thicker grain for Sump..... because of less water flow in the chamber where DSB located I chose thick grain sand to let it oxygenate easily. Fine sand will cause to built up Sulphur problem.

Fish addition

---

This guy came in my way...so I took a change and got it....

The Red Sea or two-banded clownfish / anemonefish (Amphiprion bicinctus).

Time to update....

I added sand in the sump "refugium" and DT. Fine sand in DT and thicker grain in the sump.

You can see the upper layer, which is light in color is fine sand and bottom layer which is thicker sand. This is refegium picture.
