- Well, its underway. Just thought id start to share my first steps into reef keeping with a tank diary, and hopefully getting some feedback and advice from you guys along the way. This has taken me close to 10 months to get to the point of im at now, with saving and researching uncovering new things i need to take into consideration.
The Tank - Red Sea Max 130D, bought second hand from ebay that was a complete shell, no equipment supplied just the tank and stand
Equipment - Tunze 9001 skimmer; Tunze 3155 Osmolator ATU; Eheim 150 Heater; 2 x Eheim compact 600's fitted in the last chamber for return; Vortech MP10 QD; Red Sea Max accessory kit that i will be hooking up to another eheim 600 and feeding a phosban 150 to.
Media: Stevie T basket running floss; purigen and chemi pure elite in; Rowa will be running in the phosban (may be able to get rid of the chemi pure then)
Lightining: generic chinese black box 165w LED.
Substrate/Rock: 8 kilos of TMC coral gravel (4kg fine; 4kg medium grade); Caribsea Reel Rock (about 10-11 kg at the min, have some left over and trying to find a way of getting this into my scape.
