Hi guys I'm new to the forum I'm Jamie from The sunny Scotland part of the UK lol
I have dealt with larger tanks upto 600 litres and never really succeeded due to patience issues, but! Now I sold all my tanks and bought a Nano marine by Fluval, I changed the stock light straight away and added a nano skimmer in the first chamber and got rid of the stuff that came with it and added 2 bags of sera siporax followed on top by usual foams and floss and running the standard return pump and nozzles. Bear in mind I'm here for help and I'm still classed as a beginner on the coral side.
I started this tank on the 04/02/2024 here is what I'm running/livestock/corals/test results up until today the 18/02/2024 which is exactly 2 weeks. What do you all think all constructive criticism welcome just don't roast me lol. Finally Thank you all in advance.
