So the story goes, about 15 years ago I bought a 4ft aio from a family friend and that got me into reefing. I was never really happy with the setup with all the filtration at the back making it super awkward to do anything in there. Always had my heart set on a tank with a sump. Finally this year I have decided to bite the bullet and make the jump.
I am downsizing from 120g to 90g but I think it's a good move not only because it's a new tank but also I now have a sump to play with lol
I am currently still waiting on my aquarium being delivered, UK recently left the EU and subsequently getting anything delivered to Northern Ireland is an absolute pain. However in the mean time I have been seriously looking after my current aquarium with the view to use some/most of the live rock and media from it to prevent a big cycle. I have also purchased ATM colony to boost things and hopefully it goes smoothly.
Equipment is:
Waterbox marine X 90.3
Sicce SDC 6.0
Red sea reef wave 45
Tunze 9012 (temporary until I get funds for another skimmer, suggestions below )
Carribsea life rock (in display)
Previous live rock (in sump until all is seeded in main display)
Red sea pink reef base
Eheim 300w heater
I think this is everything so far.
I welcome any suggestions on anything i may have missed or any help. This is the first time I have switched aquarium so trusting what I have read and also a lot of instinct
