Do it, do it right, do it right the first time. |
| About Yourself: |
FWater Fish keeping for 9 years. Jumped into reef and been at it for 1 year. Student in university. Struggle struggle! |
| Advice: |
Stop spreading money around on several tanks. Stick to 1 display + a smaller tank to fool around and experiment.
Buy good equipment at first and get rocks and AQUASCAPE it in the way you like the first time. Do it right. Once it has been aquascaped (one of those nice aquascapes you never want to tear down), add your corals accordingly. Do not adjust the aquascape to FIT your corals. By aquascaping first, you allocate the space available for certain corals. You give yourself restrictions and these restrictions (with careful planning) will lead to a nicely designed tank. If you ever want to aquascape... just go out and buy a coral.. its better for you! |

| Description: |
My new reef tank is a 166 gallon pentagon which has 48" sides and just under 60" across the full face. Lighting is provided by 2 x 400 watt 14K metal halides run on a pfo ballast and 4 x 95 watt VHO bulbs, 2 x actinic blue and 2 x actinic white bulbs running on icecap 600 ballasts. I have a central overflow running to a 35 gallon sump feeding an ETSS reef devil skimmer and a precision marine calcium reactor as well as a 1/4 HP Eco-plus chiller. The return is driven via a Iwaki 55rlt pump through a 3/4" sea swirl. For circulation and water movement I run a closed loop driven by a Dolphin Ampmaster 3000. |
