Hi,

I’ve been in this hobby for some years, and this is my 4th build. It’s more just for my amusement and keeping track of how it goes.

As always, any advice or input is much welcomed, maintaining positive vibes.

This is the initial drawing of the tank design.

This is the initial aquascaping, I don’t like the design so I’ll take it to a reef farm this weekend and have it changed

The tank setup:
90x70x50 cm display,

Filtration:
Sump has simple 4 compartment design
1: coral bear filter mat roller
2: Maxspect AD600 skimmer ( overkill but works well, much more silent than reef octopus.)
3: refugium with liverock, macro algae, additives compartment
4: return pump: Zhongke reef 10000lph, kamoer ATO one2 top up. The return pump also feeds the Boyu LS-20 heater/chiller

Parameter monitoring:
I-bowl reef which records ph, salinity, orp, and some other useless parameters.
Utrao (kamoer) KH-ultra, which automatically checks and adds kh as needed.
Kamoer reef master spa which is linked to a kamoer F4 pro dosing pump, this automatically checks Kh, Mg, Ca, NO2, no3, po4, Fe; and adds the additives as needed.

Lighting:
Seatorch 25 pro with diffusers x 2

Wave:
Maxspect F300 dual pump set on lps

The plan is to have a mixed reef with dominantly lps and some sps.

Let’s see how this one goes.
 
There is a lot to like with the new setup! Congratulations on the new adventure!!!
 
Following along! Love the aquascape in there!

The first additions. Beau Gregory and some Picasso clowns. Waiting on snowflakes as well.

Wow you have added a ton of amazing coral in just a short amount of time! Have you had any challenges with anything or has it been pretty smooth sailings?
