Hi from Oz

Found my way here from Google

We live in Perth W.A. and have a 6x2x2. Mostly LPS with a few softies and SPS





We struck our first marine system in Aug 2004 as a 4x1.5x2 and it was a complete disaster I'm afraid. I think we made every mistake possible but we're over that hump now . Most of the old stock that survived went into the 6' and all of them have shown good growth since.

6' is running 2x250W MH @ 14000K, nothing else lighting wise. In tank circ is about 18x via 3 Seio's. It has a 100L sump, Turboflotor skimmer and a DIY autotopup dosing Kalk. Thats it, pretty simple and water changes with NSW happen about once a month and usually about 125L.

I'm currently a contributor to Reefing The Australian Way and the RTAW Reefpedia. Yeh I know the title Reefpedia no has 2 entities. The RTAW one is a closed wiki, editor contribution only.

I've already had a look through some of your forums and it makes for some great reading and better viewing
