Hi there,
my name's Tim Wijgerde, I'm from Holland and I'm just another reef enthusiast. I have been into the marine aquarium hobby for a year now. I have about 10 yrs of experience with aquaria, but this is my first saltwater tank.
I'm curious to know what you guys think of my tank.
Some general info:
Tank dimensions: 130 x 50 x 50 cm = 52 x 20 x 20 inches,
325 litres = 85,5 USG
Lighting: 2 x 150W 10.000K metal halides
(or HQI as we say in europe)
2 x 54W T5 ATI blue
1 x 38W T8 blue
Skimmer: H&S 150-F2001 + aqua medic PH 2500 (with venturi)
Pumps: Ocean runner 3500 for aquarium/sump communication
Tunze 6060 + Tunze turbelle 1600 for water current
Calcium reactor: Ratz standby 110
Filter media: phosphate absorbant + active coal
Dosing: aqua medic niveaumat for maintaining water level/osmolarity
Here are some pictures of my tank evolving. Currently, the tank is getting dominated by SPS corals; 5 species of Acropora, some Montipora's, Seriatopora hystrix and S. caliendrum.
Futhermore, the tank contains some nice LPS corals like 2 Euphyllia sp., 2 Caulastrea furcata colonies and an Alveopora gigas colony.
The tank also is inhabited by lots of Xenia, some soft corals, some Discosoma sp., Rhodactis sp., Ricordea sp., 3 species of Zoanthus, filter tubeworms, a Tridacna derasa and the usual Aiptasia now and then.

Feel free to comment on my tank, it's not finished yet, of course
Best wishes,
