Hi guys, so, here's i will post my update on my reefing journey.

I'm Alessio, Italian living in France, 2 kids, lovely wife, 4 aquarium and i'm a restaurant pastry chef. Sorry i will talk in Liters, FIY 3.7L = 1 Gallon :D

I've started in july 2022 with a AIO 64Lt from AQPET (Italian Brand) that soon will be sold to make space to new projects. Nice tanks, 40cmx40cmx40cm. I am changing it since display space is really limited and at the moment is in the kitchen, i want to replace it with a smaller "peninsula" so i can again open the kitchen windows :D

At the moment i am working on setting up the above said 45L peninsula mostly "DIY" and a 60Lt + 40Lt sump

The 64l from start to today...
