Hey
So we are relatively new to saltwater in the scheme of things.
We’ve had a 180l tank running for the past 2 years without much dilemma, which has a rear sump, in which we have 2x clowns, 1x emperor angel, 1x urchin, 1x SS Starfish and a range of CUC, this is alongside the 2x BTA (one of which will go in the new tank once it’s matured down the line) and some zoa frags.
It’s a lovely little tank which is establishing nicely… and has taught us a lot about the marine wor
However. We recently came across a bargain on social media for a 350ish litre Aqua Marin 1200 which I believe is a Maidenhead Aquatics tank.
So I thought about doing a build thread.
We’re already a little way in now, but it’s still a very new tank. We’ve currently got some zoas and a couple of fish, but working to build it up!
Look forward to sharing our tank build and open to any comments on how I can improve things!
Tank:
* Aqua Marin Pro 1200 with sump.
Equipment:
* 2x Kessil A160we Lights
* Blue Marine Wave maker 600
* Jecod DCS-6500 return pump
* 2x 500w heaters, one in main display, one in sump. May need to put sump one in main display as temp dropping overnight.
Extras:
DD jumpguard
15kg Caribsea LifeRock in display
5kg live rock in sump
1kg bio balls in sump
Pictures from first thing in morning when lights first came on.
