Hi Guys
Ok so I'm really excited about my new system the idea behind the tank is that it is not very big but want to spend some money on making it fairly self sufficient (as self sufficient as a marine tank can be) the reason being is that I have to travel a lot for work these days, so need a few basic things on the tank to be controlled on its own. luckily I only travel for two to three days at a time so the tank wont have time to become neglected. Any way here goes:
Tank: 60cm cube Total volume of tank with sump will be about 400L
Sump: 1x 60cm (refugium) 1x 90cm (Skimmer, heaters, etc.)
Filtration: Refugium, Seachem Matrix, Skimmer
The system will be run so that in the start the refugium will be part of the filter system then if I decide to run a ULN system I will use NP Bio pellets and then run the refugium seperate (In the fear that it might die off in a ULN system)
Skimmer: Reef Octopus OCTX-160
Lighting: Giesemann Infinity 600mm (1x MH 2x T5)
Water Movement: Vortech MP10w ES
Controller: Profilux 3
The profilux 3 will have the following running off it
- Dosing Pumps
- Touch Screen Face
- Lighting
- Auto Top Up
- Measuring Probes (PH, Temp, etc. etc.)
- Pumps
- Water change system
- SMS Unit
- etc.
If there is anything about the system you would like to know please feel free to ask.
Waiting on a few things to arrive with the tank but have some pics of the stand, skimmer, etc. Then just some pics off the net of the toys
Pics to follow
