New tank, new beginnings. I'm very exited to start this new tank and thread because I've had so many ideas the last years, and now I'm finally able to create them.
The tank will be a new, upgraded version of the Formosa Forest, this time with more room to grow, more diversity in corals and livestock, and better equipment to provide my corals the optimal conditions.
Specifications:
Aquarium:
43″x43″x26″ Rimless Semi-Cube
Light:
Two 400 Watt Aqua-Connect 400 watt MH SE in Lumenarcs, Lumatek E-ballasts
Two 4×39 Watt ATI Sunpower T5 pendants with ATI bulbs (1/2 white 1/2 blue)
Total of 1112 watt
Flow:
Three Tunze Turbelle Stream 6100 pumps
One Tunze Turbelle Stream 6200 pump
Return: Sicce Multi 5800
Total of 15850 Gallon/hour nett. (79x turnover)
Skimmer:
BK Supermarine 250
Other:
KH-Ca-Mg supplementation by Balling using a Grotech TEC III
Grotech Kalkwasser-Reactor controlled by AM pH-controller
50 gallon Refugium lit by 70 watt 5400 K MH Spotlight.
In-sump Cryptic Refugium.
The livestock will be the Acanthurus Triostegus, Golden Zebrasoma Scopas and the Pseudocheilinus Hexataenia from the previous tanks.
The main focus will be on the schooling fish Apogon Leptacanthus. The school of 7 will be expanded to 57. Maybe I will add more in the future, but I have 50 ordered right now.
I already collected a variety of different Staghorn corals and table forming corals and LPS to create more diverse growth forms and aquascape.
The Acropora are in a four week quarantine right now to get rid of any pests like AEFW and red bugs.
The tank and refugium will be Bare-Bottom. The underside of the tank will be painted metallic-white to reflect the light and give the bottom a white appearance.
Together with the new tank I launched a website and blog, where I'll write about interesting information and inspiration regarding to my new projects and my travels etc.
I'm not sure if I should post a link here, although it is a personal, non-commercial website I don't want to violate the RC Terms and Agreements.
I'll have more updates when the ordered equipment arrives and when I start to build the stand and light rack+canopy etc
