Hi Reef Central comunity!!!
First of all I'd like to introduce myself. I am from Buenos Aires - Argentina and I've been in this hobby since 2010. In 2015 I moved from my parents house and left my old 200gallons reef there sitting with them, taking basic care of the livestock every time I visit them, unfortunately nowadays its filled with nuissance algae, dirty glasses and some broken hardware (calcium reactor for example).
Now, more than a year later I'm building a smaller set up to bring my livestock home and I'd like to share my proyect with you. My lifestock is mostly composed of soft corals and some easy-to mantain sps like montiporas. I also have a Premnas Clownfish pair and a Coris Gaimard. I plan on repairing the broken hardware and build an simple, but yet healthy setup.
There goes some pics!
The aquarium stand, made in 40x40mm steel:
The aquarium display, made in 10mm thick glass (and my moving team!)
The reef's first inhabitant, a catfish it seems :lmao::lmao::lmao:
And finally the tanks outer look so far:
This week I plan on finishing de plumbing. I'll use 1.5' plumbing from the display back to the sump and 1' for the return pump back to the display (Ocean Runner aprox 1000gph). I'd also like to build a small frags tank above the sump, but I'm not quite sure yet.
I'm open to any suggestion or opinon, your experience is very valuable!!!!:rollface:
