| Advice: |
I started out with an aqua one marisys complete filter but outgrew this too quickly to justify spending the money on it. skimmer was a filter stone model (not good enough). setup a new system which was half the price and is heaps more effective at removing waste.
overflow water goes directly to external skimmer (venturi) which then overflows into a plastic kitchen garbage bin (sump,)with a bag of seachem phosguard and the return pump. thats it.
good thing about phosguard is it can be reused until it turns yellow, its just an extra safe guard agaisnt phosphate. mine lasts for over six months |

Octagon - Vertical Reef |
| About Yourself: |
I run an appraisal business and have two tanks in my office, this one and a 150 fowler. |
| Advice: |
Design your system around the creatures you want to keep and try to use nature for filtration as much as possible rather than mechanics. Either build an eco-system or you will give yourself a part time job every weekend.
I would not advise an octagon as a first reef tank as lighting and arrangement is very difficult. |
| Fish Kept: |
2 Black Ocellaris Clownfish, Red Hawkfish, Coral Beauty Angelfish, and a Mandarin Dragonet. |
| Corals/Plants Kept: |
Some Acro's, Cup Coral, Blasto, Wellsophylia, lots of Trumpet Corals, Zoos, Xenia, Pectina, Frogspawn and Hammer Corals, lots of Muchrooms, Green Star Polyps, etc. |
| Tank Size: |
43 |
| Description: |
43 Gallon Octagon with a 15 gallon homemade eco-system style refugium/sump (deep sand bed, chaeto, and live rock) and a algae waterfall style supplemental filter. I have had no skimmer on this system for well over a year and no longer have to do water changes. Nitrates and phosphates are 0 and seem to be staying there. My system has in-line UV (now rarely used), 150W 20K metal halide lighting, live rock straight from Fla. to my tank (no "curing"), rock is mounted on a PVC frame as the arrangement is vertical, 2 Koralin and 2 Maxi-jet power heads. |

300l reef tank |
| Advice: |
Patience... don t believe everything the shops tell you. They try to sell you anything and nothing!!!! Dont be impulsive and always get a second source of information! Don t forget fishs and corals are very precious living creatures. |
| Fish Kept: |
Yellow tang, 4 clown fishes (2 black 2 orange), 1 blue tang, 1 rock beauty, 1 pseudochromis, 1 copper banded butterflyfish, 1 potters angelfish, blue green chromis |
| Corals/Plants Kept: |
mostly soft coral and some blue, orange and pink sponges |
| Tank Size: |
75 |
| Description: |
Second tank. Changed from a 25gl to a 75gl fish tank after just 3 month. This one has been running since August 07. No fish died, am very patient. Don t forget this is a very special place and therefore it needs a lot of attention. Last thing you want is to loose fishes to silly avoidable mistakes. So before setting up a tank get information. I looked for information for about 2 months before setting up a tank. |
