Hey guys!
This is my 1st tank thread in SRC!
I've kept a 3ft reef tank for many years and finally gotten the chance to upgrade to a larger tank.
This thread is mainly to document and share the progress of my tank, I hope you guys enjoy the tank build and all advises are appreciated.
These are the specifications of the new tank:
Tankmaker: Vincent from Aquarium Artist.
Display tank: 6ft x 2ft x 2ft (12mm glass on the back and left view, 12mm crystal glass on the front and right view).
Sump tank: 5ft sump tank with 4 compartments.
Cabinet: Done by my ID.
Equipment:
Light: 3 x AI Hydra 52 with AI Director
Return pump: DP11
Skimmer: Skimz SM 203
Wave maker: 1 x Maxspect Gyre XF150
Chiller: Daikin Compressor Chiller
Carbon reactor: Bubble Magus Mini 80 Filter
Zeolite reactor: Bubble Magus Zeolite cast
Media used:
OF Pro Series Bio Filter Medium
Marine Pure Blocks
Still unsure if I will go ahead and use the media, as I will be starting up with zeovit and it states that bio media are not required.
Substrate:
Sand: Carib Sea Aragamax Select white Dry Sand
Rocks: Dried Rocks
General Tank Overview
