TidalReef Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 After nearly 12yrs stopped reefing due to some commitment, now I'm back to this hobby. Once you are reefer, you can't stop reefing. Decide to go for 2.5 x 2 x 1.5ft display tank with sump tank set up. Manage to get Vincent from Aquarium Artist for my custom tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once your tank finished cycle, all the water parameter is good and stable you are good to go, but need to take your time to slowly stock up. Your rock scape from a start is important thats where you determine where you will place the coral. I'm not running any reactor thats why the return sump compartment have more space... there's where i have my dosing set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Placing of coral depends on what coral you purchase or get as you will know your scape by then.
