Hi guys,
So here is my current tank.
It's been running for 6 months after the contents was moved from the previous tank.
It measures 120x50x50 and is stocked with mostly LPS, soft corals and a few SPS.
There is very little tech going on. Nitrates are kept in check with a DSB and macroalges in the sump. Other parameter with regular waterchanges. This works resonably well. Although I have the problem that nitrates are consumed too rapidly while phosphate is not. Still working on balancing this.
And the bubble-tip anemones are a bit too happy because they keep multiplying and popping up where they are not wanted.
The upside is that the tank is theeming with little amphipods, shrimps, worms, bagpipes etc.
The goal is creating a mini ecosystem with lots of microfauna with happy and fat fish and corals.
The tank is inhabited by only a few fish now, but since this system is fairly new this is a good thing.
