JM's reef diary (5X2.5X2.5)+ seahorse tank

[ClOwNy_LoVeR]

Hello, after long persuasion by my friends to make a tank thread, I have decided to.

My tank used to be a freshwater predatory tank.

Now, it has transformed into this:)

I use an artificial background and lean my rocks against the 3D background.

A WP 40 blows from the right of the tank all the way to the centre.

By having the background, I eventually realised I had a cryptic zone behind my background. The sicce 8300 return pump, returns to the cryptic zone. And blowing current through maybe holes in the background to the front if the tank. I starting putting sponges at the back.

My cooling system for my lights:) I does wonders. Cuts chiller time by a lot. And my light set is just slighty warm.

Denitrator is just powered by 200L/Hr pump, and is further reduced to a small stream by a valve at the output. Simple and powerful.
