Hello everyone,
My name is Joos, I’m from the Netherlands and currently in the hobby since October 2019. It started with a little 60 liter Blue marine AIO nano which has decorated our living room for 549 days! Hereunder some pictures of the nano which was occupied by the following residents:
Here some photos of this tank in its glory days:
After that I ordered the tank that I’m rocking till this day, a Waterbox Marine X 60.2. This has been up and running since the 20th of February 2021, so at this time of writing a little over 1,5 years. It has been an absolute joy! I learned a lot from mistakes I made with the nano so I deemed myself a more experienced reefer (I was very wrong, haha). I still suck at coral placement and producing great color combo’s and yet again made the mistake of getting to much encrusting Montipora which are now slowly causing issues. But who knows, maybe I’ll learn the next time….
About the tank, hereunder some specs, residents and photo’s. I’ll try to update as frequently as possible but this somehow always seems difficult, haha!
The tank is running on ATI Essentials Pro in combination with a fuge and works like a charm. Besides that I dose Acropower, run UV and carbon 24/7 and manually dose Manganese (8 drops) and Iodine (1 drop) daily, often combined with Korallen Zucht coral snow, sometimes combined with a drop or two of Iron (depending on Chaeto color) I feed 2.5-3.0 grams of frozen Mysis and 1.0-1.5 gram of frozen seaweed and Mysis mix with 3 drops of aquaforest fish V often supplemented with a pinch of Ocean Nutrition formula two flakes. I rarely feed my corals directly, sometimes I mix some Aquaforest AF LPS food in the fish food and dump it in the tank.
I’m still battling some vermitted snails and a Aiptaisia here and there but besides that the tank is somewhat pest free.
Hereunder the equipment list:
And residents:
And finally, photo’s:
I hope you will enjoy this thread, I will try to update as regularly as possible.
Greetings from the Netherlands
