so ive had this tank established for a while now, just figured better late than never so ill start a tank thread. The tank is a rsm 250, which would have been up and running for roughly a year now. This tank was my entry into the hobby and as such i have addopted the reefing lifestyle, as i dive and fish it was only a matter of time before i ventured to the aquaculture of marine species. I also have a rsm130 that i have gone in a completely different approach but thats neither here nor there.
I have recently discovered the difficulty of SPS corals, and as they seem to be the biggest challenge i decided to give it a crack, as such the use of zeovit to maintain a low nutrient system, as well as refraining from feeding my fish (i like my fish fat) so i have cut back my feeding schedule.
The System
Rsm250 65gallon tank
LED lighting replaced the t5s all running by existing timer
I use Natural saltwater, and rodi water from a 3 stage unit for top up water.
Circulation is power by two eheim 3000s, and two vortech mp10s
Skimmer is an internal deltec mc500
ATO by a tunze osmolator
TLF 150 reactor
500ml zeolite
Powered by eheim 300
Use KZ carbon, as well as many other KZ additives
Ca,Mg and alk maintained by seachem fusion 1 & 2 and mg supp.
Water changes are large and done weekly as i beleive this is paramount to sucess, as such i change 30% every week
Heres a full tank shot, feel free to ask any questions and give any pointers
cheers for looking
