Hey all,
Recently just purchased the above tank. I am a new marine reefer coming from the freshwater world.
I have had my tank for a few weeks now. Cabinet built, sump plumbed. Will be taking my time and updating my progress here with pictures.
Still looking into options for all equipment (nothing purchased as of yet):
Lighting - currently liking the AI Hydras
Return pump - Maxspect-Jump DC10
Mechanical Filteration - Sump has 2 sock compartments but I know I won't keep up with changing socks every couple of days lol. Currently looking at the Klir DI-4 roller mat. Only issue is I can't seem to find one in the UK!
I would also like to run some sort of carbon, to ensure clear and non yellowing of the water.
Flow - Maxspect Gyres. The Vortex MP40's are not cheap! But I would be more inclined if they could tilt. So it is Gyres Vs Power heads at the moment!
Skimmer - There are way too many out there but I will most probably stay small-med (got to think about all the work the rollermat will do so no need to go big)
Rock/Substrate - Dry rock/sand most likely CaribSea.
Ideally I would like all equipment to be DC controlled. I'm about that tank automation life lol! Thinking about a Seneye-reef, but more so to use as a PAR meter upon set up and maybe an Apex.
Please feel free to let me know your thoughts, suggestions and opinions!
(FYI, there will be no furniture in front of the tank once I get going lol)
