Mix Reef 2.5×2×2

[Davissim]

Hi Bro and Sis!

Started reefing not long ago as inspire by my brother tank as his tank is so colourful when I still keep freshwater in the end switching fresh to salt hahaha! Firstly I started by 2×1×1.5 without and sub tank and just couldn't keep the parameters stable as I thought small tank is easier as I didn't did more research as my bro keep giving me advise and i choose not to listen and believe in myself, In the end my tank crash and some corals has been bleach and some dead and now starting to start slow and don't wanna be a kan chiong spider hahaha hope any sifu and reefer can give me some advise on reefing.

Here's my tank and sub system graph.

Looking good .. you are using a dc 9000 as your main return pump? Look like a little bit overkill

Nice setup! Look forward to updates.

 

I noticed that the return pump is in the same compartment as the skimmer. This means that the water level may not be consistent => skimmer performance may vary. It may over skim if water level is higher, underskim if too low. Hence, an auto top up system is probably required.

You can try to do a plate to separate the skimmer

Update yi xia

Recently had a change of the scape of my reef and of cos algae start to strike like there's no tmr, here's the pics of the tank for the past few weeks).


Diatom algae started to come and stay my tank at 18082016


And finally starting to disappear today which is 3092016

Thanks goodness it gone quite fast as I did a 80% water change on 27082016 as ammonia and nitrite reading has gone to zero and nirate has gone up. And also brought some clean up crew from ah beng to eat all the algae and it really help alot dk if I kiasu or what cos brought 12 Turbo snail and 5 Sally light foot crab and they did their work pretty well
