Henry's 3x2x2 Mixed Reef.
Introduction:
Reefing Since: This year, Aug 2011
System Objectives: To have an interesting and engaging tank that, although not necessarily beautiful, enabled us to observe the occupants behaviour and to watch the tank mature and grow. Also to be done relatively cheaply. It's very easy for this sort of hobby to get completely out of hand.
Type of reef: Mainly LPS and corallimorphs
Display System:
Initial Fill Date: Early August 11.
Display Tank Dimensions: 3x2x2
Display Lighting: 1x 150w Aqua one Halide.
Stand: Appears to be 24mm steel tubing, welded together. All very strong.
Hood or Rimless: No hood, but we have lids.
Sump Design: Sump is about 50cm by 30cm, no compartments. Mob of live rock and filter wool around down pipe.
Filtration: Live rock and sand bed.
Support systems:
NSW or ASW: NSW, we live by the beach in WA so just collect it from there when we need to do a water change.
Display Water circulation: One Tunze 6045
Return Pump: Not sure, but it's very quiet and does the job.
Skimmer: An old weipro with a delivery pump.
Evaporation Top Up: Manual, when necessary.
Chemical additions:
Calcium Addition:
Alkilinity Addition: I use RO water mixed with CaOH as top up water, whenever needed.
Magnesium Addition:
Prodibiotics Addition:
Coral Food Addition: coral that eats is fed manually.
