I'm Back - New 6Ft Reef

[bunjiweb]

Well I've been on here off and on over the years, I've had numerous tanks and numerous livestock. A couple of months ago I finally bought my own house (on my own!) and so decided it was time that I set my 6x2x2ft tank up as the marine reef I'd always wanted. I had pretty much all the equipment already, it was just a case of putting it all together...

- 6 x 2 x 2 ft All Glass aquarium
- 2 x 30W T8 Luminaires
- 2 x AquaRay Blue / White LED bars
- 4 x powerheads totalling 4750LPH
- Tunze 9211 DOC Classic Skimmer
- Eheim 2217 filter

soon to be added
- Hang on refugium
- Carbon / Phosphate reactor
- Doors for cabinet to be built
- Auto top-up system

Immediately after moving tank contents from old house....

After a bit of aqua-scaping a week or so later once it had all settled....

Last week I was given a whole tanks worth of stock from a friend!....

Further Aqua-scaping and now it looks like this:

I'm currently not as active here because of performances, but when I got email notification of this topic, I just had to pop in. Hi bunji!

Looking forward to having a closer look at this when I get on my laptop.

Oh, those look great, Bunji. So glad to have you back. I'd be honored if you checked out my stuff.

What are the species, I recognize most of them.
