We used to keep a 180l custom cube tank and three Nano tanks in the UK. One as a mixed reef, one as a seahorse tank and one with an awesome longhorn cowfish called Frank (he was awesome!)... 12 years later have moved to Australia and haven't tried to keep any fish since then.
So one boring weekend went and bought a CADE 900 From our really good local fish shop. Then the next day realised I wanted something a bit bigger so got the 1200.
Three days later, it turns up and weighs a lot!!! Three of us dragged and lifted the crates in, which took a while as we are not the fittest of people.
So, now it's in. Put my Two MicMol Thor lights on, altered some pipes to get a redsea reefmat 500 in, and have a Sicce SDC return pump and wave maker installed. An Aqua Excel 801 skimmer with a Sicce PSK pump to run it. 5l of matrix and will give stability a go to help cycle it.
Now just waiting on a water delivery to fill it up... Tomorrow will see if there are any pipe leaks. So much has changed since the last tank I set up. Everything is online and runs on apps. LED lights were just coming out when I last set up a tank. Lots to learn.
Look out for pleas for help when I think I know what I'm doing and then get it all wrong.
