I've been reefing for around 7 years now, starting in the hobby when I was 17. My first reef was a fluval m60 which ended up being still one of my best tanks to date. This tank was upgraded to a red sea 170 which was also a success. I ended up taking some time out the hobby due to university commitments and moving house. I have now decided I wanted a tank that is manageable with waterchanges and less messing around with equipment.
The waterbox 20 has been a perfect sized tank so far, this build is 3 months old, a little equipment run down:
Light ~ Radion G4xr15
Heater ~ TMC V2 Therm
Return pump ~ Jecod 650
Wavemaker ~ Vortech MP10
Mini Reactor ~ Aquamedic desktop
Temp Controller ~ Reef factory
Husbandry:
Daily ~ Feed fish with flake food, clean the glass. I was dosing aquavitro fuel 1ml daily as to start with nutrients were too low with it being a BB reef. Nutrients have stabilised now and p03 is rising so I've stopped aminos for now and monitoring corals and nutrients closely.
2/3 Days ~ Replace filter floss
Weekly ~ 20% waterchange.
Bi-Weeky ~ Change Carbon
