Sean’s new 400L cube

[TheTurk]

Been almost 10 years since my last post

Hope the last 10 years has treated everyone well.

So after living in 3 different countries for the last 8 years I’ve finally Settled down in the south of Spain and decided it was time to get back into the hobby.

So as the the title says I’ve started a new cube, dimensions are as follows

800x800x500

Filtration

Reefmat 500
Skim marine 800 skimmer
Carbon reactor (not yet installed)

Lighting

1 x Radion g6 pro, thinking of adding another at a later stage.

Overflow

Corner internal overflow with durso plus emergency overflow

Thinking of running an algae scrubber but with limited space I’m not sure.

Tank has been up and running for a couple of months now, trying to take things slow

Internal overflow and drilling hole for return

Took around 24 hours to fill with RO water

Tank fully cycled and scape complete

Doser looks awesome, I'm in the market for one myself. Where did you purchase it? Also where did you get NYOS PHOSPHATE+

I’m in Spain so bought at one of the online shops here, Reef factory is based in Poland so very easy to get spares ect in Europe.

So after using the red sea test kits for over 2 months, I’ve decided to upgrade. Couldn’t be bothered with colour matching anymore

So out with the old and in with the new. Finally received my new Sump. The old one was just temporary in the first place. Finally I’ve rid the display of micro bubbles

Also received my UV Sterilizer, Hoping to install it this weekend.
