So finally fed up of trying to host sps in my main tank, have decided to convert my fish only to a sps bare bottom tank.
Reasons :
Lots of softies
Big leathers
PO4...now under control but old rocks might leach PO4..
Algae...control measures on, but it's gonna take a lot more time..
First a few pics of my main tank...
This is primarily going to be an experimentation tank.
The fish only was a 260 Ltr tank, but I have filled it to the half way mark at 130 Ltr.
There are going to be no fish in it, just sps and keeping that in mind there will be no skimmer.
I might add a cucumber for the detritus, but that's it. Mostly the system will be maintained with wc.
For aeration there will be a small waterfall/volcano at the corner, from which water will flow inside.
For temp control, there will be fans or a small chiller.... not yet finalized.
Lights are going to be the other major experiment, the cover earlier had 6 T5s which I reduced to 2 as there were only fish, now will be taking off the T5s completely and replacing them with a DIY small Led strip unit that I made.
Looks a lot more brighter than the T5s now.
So here are some pics.
