Hi All
So I'm Building a Shallow reef tanks , Really Taking my Time , Making Sure I get everything right from the start.
Tank Dimensions are 1200mm Long X 600mm Wide X300mm In Height
Goals For the tanks is SPS dominant.
Some decisions i would really like your input on are the following
Lighting : Looking for a tried and true method , Currently I'm Looking at Running T5 Fixtures on the Tank , OR T5 MH hybrids. Leds work great but there is just to many variable there to adjust and hopefully get right.
System : I have two choices here , 1. Run Zeo Vit on the Tank or 2. Run a Refugium on my inlet to the sump.
I would like to follow a tried and proven method like zeo , But i also see the upside to running a fuge and not a ULNS system.
Progress so far : This weekend i have done the following : Purchased a return Pump (Jeabao 6500 )
Purchased The Sand And Dry Rock ( 20KG Red See Aragonite 10KG Carib Sea White Dry Rock )
I have started by putting the sand and rock into the tank this weekend cutting a hole for power into the dry side of the tank.
Next weekend will be the weekend for the plumbing.
Pics of the tank so far
