Well, Ive been a member a while and mekaeel wants me to do a tank thread. I used to have a cube, but that is being replaced by the following:
The Tank
Tank= 900x600x500 peninsula (water level at 450. Im over deep tanks)
Lights= 8x39W T5s (giesemann bulbs)
Flow= Vortech MP40W ES and Ill probably need to add something else just to up it some more
Substrate= Caribsea
Aquascape= a 80/20 mix of Caribsea Scaping Rock and a couple of really nice mature pieces of rock. Want a very simple open scape. Not too intricate and over the top, zen.
Filtration= Reefocto X160 and carbon dosing (prodibio and vodka). NO DSB. The sump will however have a decent sized frag chamber, which will be lit by 4x 24 Watt Giesemanns
ATO= SAGA
Heater= Jager
Supplements= Profilux 4 way doser, so Ill do a three part dosing regimen, and use the 4th pump to dose diluted vodka.
Livestock
For the zen look, a school of fish is needed (Apogon, Chromis or something), then Ill be wanting a Royal gramma, some gobies and a showfish of sorts...
In terms of corals.. acros, montis, stylos, hystrix and zoas.
A few clams and other bits and bobs.
Ill start posting pics once the tank arrives- should be setup in December time off.
The picture below is just to give an idea of the scaping Ill be wanting to achieve- more of a doodle than anything. Would probably need to be less than the below..
