Jamie's Modded RSM now with Maxspect LED
Introduction:
Hello everyone, I've been keeping reef tanks of various sizes for the last few years in Sydney (i'll dig up some photos sometime when i get the chance), but last year I had to move cities up to Newcastle. This meant shutting down my old tank and selling everything, hence i was without any tank for 6 months. When this red sea max came up on ebay of all places, i couldn't say no. It was a bit of a steal with a full red sea max (plus a complete spare red sea max tank only), live rock, some inverts and a whole host of upgraded parts. So i basically transported the system as is and now have it running in our kitchen.
Reefing Since:
2008
System Objectives:
Keep a smaller reef aquarium with high quality corals and inverts. Also to try running this as a ULNS using No3:Po4X.
Type of reef:

Display System:
Initial Fill Date:

Display Lighting:
Initially stock 2x55W T5s
Soon to be Maxspect G2 160W mounted in hood, with DIY colour supplement in front flap
Stand:
RSM stand
Hood or Rimless:
Hood
Sump Design:
NA at this stage, thinking of getting a lifereef overflow
Filtration:
Intank media basket with purigen, rowaphos and filter wool
Support systems:
NSW or ASW:
ASW: used Red Sea Coral Pro and Red Sea normal, trying Tropic Marin Reef Pro this time
Display Water circulation:
2 x MP10 vortechs, need to upgrade the 2nd to a wireless ES driver at some point
Return Pump:
Eheim compact 1000
Skimmer:
Tunze 9002
Evaporation Top Up:
Tunze osmolator
Chemical additions:
Red Sea Reef Care Program:
Foundations A, B, C liquids with a dosing setup
Energy A + B 2ml per day each
No3:Po4X on dosing setup 1ml per day
Thats the quick summary. Will post up some more history when i get my photos in order.
Just thought i'd put up a few pics of my old reefs:
Thanks guys, more to come soon
