Here We Go Again

[Matthew5664]

First post in a long time!
 
How are things here now, new GUI looks nice. adverts??, adverts!?!
 
Anyway..................................................
 
Got myself a nice little 90L 24" tank for a nano reef project. Need something as I have had a break for some time. Wanted to get my hands wet again and thought this would be a good way to start. It won't be anything like the last 3 tanks (he says).
 

Here she is on the kitchen table, washed and ready to go.
 

The Stand.
 

Power is in and on
 

In place and the lights on, eeeek tropical tubes
 

Better, white reef tubes
 
Next is painting the back and sorting a filtration set-up...............
 
Back soon

Welcome back. Ads go away once you log in.
 
In my experience the best filtration for a reef is the Berlin Method with a skimmer and some chaetomorpha algae in the sump. If you don't have a sump you can use halimeda algae in the display.
 
That's the only filtration I have on my 210 gallon reef.

MMmmm.... my pictures have been moved and so the links are lost, sorry but I cannot find how to edit my post in this new GUI.
 
So progress on the skimmer, Reef Octo or Bubble Magus means that I will end up sumping this bad boy and not having the HOB skimmer and this will be unsightly.
 
So before any more progress is made I will have to strengthen the stand and remove the centre brace to allow a sump.
 
Then pipework can be ordered and then the sump and skimmer.

A sump is a great addition to any marine tank and Reef Octopus makes a great in-sump skimmer (I know because it's what's currently skimming my 210gallon).
