Full Zeovit reefer 250

[Mark laar]

Hi all,

I'm going to start my new build here..
My tank was started exactly 4 weeks ago.

A little bit about the technical side,
* Reefer 250
* 2x Philips Coralcare v2
* Royal Exclusiv Red Dragon X
* Royal Exclusiv BBK Mini 160
* Vertex RX Z3.0
* 2x AI Nero 5
* Profilux 4
* KH Director

4 weeks ago my liverock from Indonesia arrived.
The tank was started following the 14 day cycle from KZ.
The first fish, a blennie, was added after 10 days.
4 days later the first two corals were added, a purple stylo and a red montipora digitata. At the same time 12 snails (5 different kinds) were added.

At day 17 two more fishes were added, 2 ampriphion ocelaris.
The 2 corals seem to do well, the montipora even shows a little bit of growth already.

At day 19 I started balling, not much but my Kh was dropping slowly.
Kh is kept at 6.8 to 7 dKh.
Euphyllia added.

Day 22 Kh 6.7
No3 0
Po4 0.027
Added 1 kauderni today

Day 26
Added my first acropora today, to see if the tank is ready for them already.

Today I did my first zeolite change according to the instructions after 4 weeks.
Also changed my carbon today.
Acro is still looking happy, so everything is humming along nicely.

My tank how it stands today.

The little acropora.

And the heart of the tank.

Looking good and tidy!
Where do you shop for your fish and coral?

For my fish mostly at Coralandfishstore.
Corals sometimes from other reefers, but probably the most acros are coming from various webshops in Germany

I visited them in Breda a couple of weeks ago. Clean shop but the corals seemed a bit on the expensive side. I didn’t see any space for quarantine but maybe/hopefully they do that off-site. Will ask them next time.

Yeah corals are a bit pricey indeed.
Fish quarantine is downstairs behind the little office..
Corals I'm not sure tho..
