Hi all

My name is Michael , I am pretty new to reefing , I spent many years with tropical tanks.

I have a susscessful nano tank which has been running for a few years now , after this success I have now starting cycling my new reef tank. See below equipment.

1 x Redsea 350 Gen 2
2 x Reef flare Pro M lighting
1 x Deltec 1000i Protein skimmer
1 x Vectra M2 return pump
4 x Vortex MP40s
1 x ReefMat 500 fleece roller.
1 x Deltec Twin Tech calcium reactor
1 x Reef Factory KH Keeper Pro
1 x Reef Factory Salinity Guardian
2 x Reef Factory PH sensors (Tank and Reactor)
1 x Reef factory Thermo controllers with DD fans and DD Titanium Heater.
1 x Reef Factory 3 head doser
1 x Reef Factory Level Keeper
1 x DD 10w UV

I also have a custom aquascape made by Col at R&R aquascapes.

My new aquarium is currently cycling , which I will continue to do so for another 3 months.

I have build a custom PDU using DJ switches, due to the amount of plugs , therefore my tank currently uses 3 plugs which serve 3nr 8way PDUs.

I attached a photo of my aquascape and PDU. I will post more photos this weekend of my sumo area , cable management is really important to me.

Look forward to getting to know you allView attachment 2862287

Hi Michael and Welcome! Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you:

Thank you for this advise I will certainly do this , I have so much equipment, R2R will certainly assist me with fine tuning this tank.
