Hello everyone in the reefing community. I have been in the reefing game since I was a kid. I have just moved into our new home and have sold all my rock and livestock from the previous setup and starting fresh.
The setup is a cade s2 2100 7 foot aquarium and Ive decided this time round to go with the triton setup.
Main display is marco rock smashed up and using marco powder and glue I have built up a rockscape that I think will benefit smaller fish and a good place for them to feel safe.
In the sump all I am running is, in the first big chamber live rock for biological processes to happen and a refuge for organisms to populate, with a radion xr30 gen 5. This then flows into a skimmer compartment, then followed by the return chamber, very basic.
I am currently running 1 xr30 over the main display as I havent quite decided what lights to run yet, my 2 options I am thinking are, xr30s supplimented with light bars angled in from the front and back. Second option phillips coral cares.
For flow I have 2 maxspect gyre pumps, 1 running on the return inlet side to keep the surface aggitated and 1 on the rock pool overflow side to keep water moving.
I currently have 1 AI nero 7 pushing water from the right hand side of the tank and am looking at setting up 2 more on the same side to really get the flow pumping along from the open water side for active swimming fish and to keep sps clean from bio films.
Im not sure if this is the right way to introduce myself as Im very new to this kind of thing, but I look forward to talking to different hobbyists and welcome feedback always. Cheers and happy reefing everyone!
