 Reef tank & forum virgin. Hello, they say there is a 1st time for everything, well this is mine for reef tanks & forums, two in one day can not be bad. First things first I am Bam, have just set up a 150 gallon total (tank + sump) reef, its been running for 2 weeks. In the tank I have about 90 kilos of live rock placed on glass + 10 kilos of caribsea crushed coral substrate, shallow just to cover glass bottom not covered by rock, there are 2 seio 1500 power heads + 2 returns from sump. The sump has more live rock + mud & caulerpa, also houses heater, 2 return pumps, skimmer and auto top up. Lighting is 4 T5's, 3*Aquablue + 1*Actinic plus. 1st water test, Temp 27deg C, SG 1.022, pH 8.2, KH 8.0, Ammonia 0.05mg, Nitrite 0.02mg and Nitrate 20mg. One minor blip skimmer overflowed, other than that looking good so far (touch wood).  |
