Hi all,
Here is my tank spec. as well as some pics.Juwel Rio 300, no sump, running the original T8, 2 x 38w, light unit with Arcadia Marine Whites. I have also added a T8 24w actinic but it's intended mostly for show and so my fish aren't plunged in to total darkness at lights out time.
I have approx. 40Kg of LR in there and use a Deltec MCE600 with TMC v2 400 bubble stop on the output. For chemical filtration I have a TetraTec EX1200 external cannister with Rowaphos and Seachem Prime. Carbon is added to the skimmer's media chamber. This filter also provides water to my Teco TC10 water conditioner before returning to the tank via a spray bar for surface agitation.
I have 2 Seio M1100 and 2 Maxijet 1200 with Hydor rotators providing flow in the tank. Total flow is approx. 11000lph, not including filter and skimmer.I change approx 10% water weekly, Polyfilter in the skimmer bubble stop is changed fortnightly, the external filter and skimmer are cleaned every 8 weeks or so. Nitrates have stayed at 10ppm for the last 5 months.
Aside from that I have mananged to curtail my desire to tinker with the system and so far everything is going okay. With the exception of the Coral Beauty and the Wrasse all the fish have been living quite happily together for almost a year now.
The Coral Beauty was my last fish addition in July and the Wrasse is due to finish quarantine and be introduced to her new playmates on 29th December.
So here are the pics, I hope you like them.Campbell
