Hi guys and gals, I have been awfully quiet but I decided that it is time to start a tank thread on my current project. I got married in January and moved house directly after the honeymoon, we are staying in a temporary place while we look for someplace to cal home.
So with that being said, I converted my 800x800x450 cube frag tank into a deeper tank for a display tank. It is in the bedroom and I will tell you a huge secret behind the success of sleep shortly, but first an equipment list. (all the same equipment from my dismantled 1.3m)
Lighting is a good one, I am extremely pleased to have 2 LED units over this gem, a Zetlight Qmaven 6600 and a Kelo AK100s light unit. Over the past few months I have to say that I prefer the Kelo...
1x Sicce Syncra Silent 2.5
2x Jebao RW8's
1x Jebao 4 head dosing pump.
1x stc1000 with jager heaters and a desktop fan wired to it.
1x Waterboy UV light. (not currently in action)
1x RSK auto top up. (not currently in action)
1x Overkill Reef Octopus XP 300-sss Skimmer, rated for 1200L highly stocked.
2x tunze 6015's in the sump.
Waterboy Maxizorb carbon.
Seachems matrix stones.
Tunze care magnet and a flipper.
I dose fuel and iodine when I remember.
Waterboy ROunit. (also not being used right now)
So the trick to having sleep with this system running in my bedroom is...the skimmer and return pump are on a timer. Its a big no no but hey, almost 2 months and my corals look well chuffed with life.
