Hi guys, after much contemplation, I have decided to start my very first tank thread. Before I begin, let me introduce more about myself  I'm currently 16 years old, still studying(of course), and it isn't very easy to keep up with the hobby due to the heavy expenses. But with the support of my friends and family, I've made it thus far.

I first started off a 16litre tank last year, but soon upgraded due to the limitations of fish and corals I can keep, and I realised that it is not very practical to keep such a small tank(physically draining and aesthetically unpleasant).

To Start off, my current tank is a 2 ft Cube(Yes Its still quite small, but decent enough for me) with sump and cabinet. All photos will be taken by my iPhone 6s Plus, so please bear with the lousy quality! Below are the list of equipments that i'm using,

Equipments

 

• Lights - Radions xr30 Pro
• Wavemaker - Vortech MP40 wQD
• Return pump - Vectra M1
• Skimmer - Deltec SC1456
• Biological Media - Marine Pure

 

Oh dear your equipment easily cost above 3k. Over kill  for a 2ft

I don't think spending too much is considered overkill. Unless you're trying to imply that small tanks cannot use "top notch" equipments. I find that whatever I have now is perfect, in fact I'm thinking of buying another mp40 hahaha

Nah. Don't get me wrong. It always nice to know that all these equipment are compile into it nicely.

Since most equipment had been purchased, what other livestocks are you planning to add into your current tank?

Due to my o levels examination, there wouldn't be any major updates as of now. Recently shared a piece of coral with some Reefers, not sure what the ID is though, it's some sort of Millie.

Taking a break from your revision? Reefkeeping is a good way to take a break. BTW I can assure you this will not be you last rescape. Reefers have this habit of moving things around in their tank.

[josephwzr]

Haha thanks
