Have this running since early July
Filtration:
- Some canister prefilter that I loaded with a sheet of wool and stuffed with coral chips. Lots of pods running around in here
- An old EHEIM canister filter my late father left me, no idea what model this is. Only live rock in here.
Wavemaker:
- Boyu WM-101 (would probably upgrade to an MP10 in the near future)
Protein Skimmer:
- DIY 'Glazer' style skimmer I made with a plastic tube from Art Friend (pardon the bad silicone job lol)
Chiller:
- 1/20HP Hailea HC-100a
Lighting:
- 3rd party hood with 6 x 3watt LEDs, 4 whites and 2 blues
Livestock:
These two guys
Random zoa, paly and shrooms and a hitchhiker anemone that came with my live rock from Coral Farm
I have a love/hate relationship with this tank, I love the design but it's a real pain to work with with regards to maintenance and equipment sourcing. The very narrow opening at the top also means that oxygen exchange is
restricted. I had the tank crash on me once in the early days because the wavemaker wasn't causing enough surface agitation and it became hypoxic.
