Dear, after a change of city, and the necessary transfer of my tank, already running for three years, decided to play a new project in the reassembly of a marine planted.
My best reference has been wonderful Michael Hoaster's aquarium, that was the one who encouraged in open topic for deeper understanding of the entire assembly..
Important to record that few interventions in the assembly were not made by me. And moreover my financial conditions do not allow many adventures, so most of the solutions are as simple as possible. Do not expect an assembly of those "magazine cover", but I understand that, in essence, everything is done in the best technique that allows the result to be as close to natural as possible.
I like to interfere in the tank once assembled, as little as possible, leaving Mother Nature to act so that the direction is dictated according to the result that is shown daily.
I have absolute need for advice and guidance, whatever they may be. I've learned a lot today participating as actively as possible in discussion forums and was in them I learned what little I know so far. And within what my modesty allows, I try to share what I can.
It is small, measuring 80 x 60 x 50 cm, approximately 180 liters (48 gallons), with rear overflow with sixth glass.
Sump, Reef Octopus Skimmer NWB 150 with OTP 2000, TLF Reactor 150 where coal use, small refuge with DSB, lit with 6 super leds 3w and a PL 9 w.
Heating (heaters 100 w 2 + 1 w 200) and cooling (with fan 12 x 12 cm) controlled by a Coel TLZ 11, maintaining the temperature between 24 ºC and 26 ºC.
Lighting Luminaire with 60 LEDs, white, red, green and blue (these are controlled separately) + 2 T5 25 w + Moon Light.
Replacement water float, 18-liter box (4.8 gallons) using deionised water.
In the assembly I used 27 kilos of aragonite Carib Sea (with 3 different grain sizes), 20 kilos of Sansibar rocks, and Ocean Tech salt .
For the initial inoculum will use that saved it from the old aquarium RDSB, approximately 9 kilos of Samoa Pink + 9 kilos of Crushed Coral + Miracle Mud, which certainly has a myriad of micro fauna.
Let a few photos.
That was right at the beginning, where I was the "exercise" of assembly and the electrical part test.
Visão geral do sump
Security system
UPS + sinusoidal voltage stabilizer + stationary battery of 70 amperes
Light fixture
Replacement box
Times of Enlightenment. As soon as possible I intend to provide an electronic controller to replace all.
So far, at first I finished presenting the structure of the new aquarium.
In the next post I start to post the photos of the assembly, and i write better as is the desired layout.
I thank the criticisms and suggestions. Within my possible I will try to make corrections and adopt relevant suggestions.
