I bought this corner tank from a fellow reefer middle last year, had it up for sale for some time, no one really showed interest so I thought I'll set it up until my cube project takes off later, maybe even keep it running...
Tank is 165 liters and sump about 40, so total volume just over 200 liters excluding the live rock and skimmer space. Tank and sump in black silicon.
Still need to do the wood around the stand and underneath the sump (when cleaning sump while doing a water change)
I got some Seachem Purigen in a housing with a pump in the middle compartment.
Reef Octopus kalkstirrer.
Reeftek TS1 skimmer
Light unit is Vertex Illuminux LED (awesome!) and two Rio blue moon leds for night
Got a little 220V fan doing the cooling which does a great job.
Flow - two Seio prop 1000's
Few kg of live rock
Indo-Pacific black and white arag-alive
Most of the live stock has been running in my round skimmer tank and I transferred everything over using stability - no losses. Other tank ran for 8 months, this one for 2 months but taking things slowly
Live stock so far is
Zoa frags - red and green
Some pally's
A red monti frag which is doing great
Some shrooms
Some other pally's
Some star pollyps
3 pistol shrimps
1 coral bandid shrimp
Some bi-valves in the rock, etc
5 or 6 hermits
Small black sea cucumber
A few local sea stars
Only two fish - coral beauty and a fairy or flasher wrasse
So, a cheapish setup
Here the tank and sump
Running two months now
Newest addition is the wrasse, have him for two weeks now and he is doing very well
One of the pistols
Awesome light unit this Vertex - great colour
