So I am in the process of a new build my tank has been ordered but due to the cov19 has been delayed that’s ok give me some time to do my scape and get all the hardware.
this will be my first build I bought an established custom 3.6ft tank back in February so I’m pretty new to this
I am planning on a SPS dominant tank with a open scape and a bare bottom I may switch to a sand bead depending on how It looks
Cycle, Coral transfer and Fish plan
my idea is to cycle my marine pure block and also parts of scape that fit in to large containers before I get my tank to speed up the cycle then once cycled let the tank stabilise for a while then I will transfer my coral across and add more coral then run fallow for 90 days then TTM my current fish and also add more fish in to the tank from least aggressive to more aggressive I’m still working on a fish list
Equipment
tank - waterbox 220.6
return - vectra L2
skimmer - nyos Quantum 220
wave makers - 2 x reefwave 45s ,
clarisea sk5000 - I’m thinking I may need to modify this to take the higher flow
lights - I will be starting with 4 x radion xr30 pros
2 x 4 channel dosers
chiller
things I want to add down the line
1 or 2 extra radions when corals grow in
KH guardian
Apex
good refugium light
UV
I have started my scape it has been hard to source rock as everything is out of stock in Australia but I managed to get around 50kg of dry rock which is a mix of caribsea shelf and base I am also using some Marco shelf and also some other brand of base rock I have been using AF stone fix to start the scape
this Is one bommie version 1 it has changed since this but I am away for work so I’ll take a heap of pictures when I get home
stay tuned
