hai leonard, your formosa 1 have a system like formosa 2, what is your result of your nitrate and phosphate after 2 year. why don't you use ATS (algae turf scrubber) beside use RDSB. is there any reason for that? thank's

Thanks Guys!
Corey, you're right. The RDSB is placed in the sump and the water just flows over it. Will make a picture of it to clarify it more.
Bjarne, it's always good to have an excuse for an upgrade, but you can also build an external RDSB and connect it to the system
reefworldaq, Nitrates and phosphates in the FF1 have always been unmeasurable, because of stong skimming, GFO and a RDSB.
I don't use a algae turf scrubber because it is not needed with a setup like this, and takes up a lot of space

All the corals an fish have been transferred yesterday, with 0% loss so far. I broke down the Lagoon yesterday and today, and when that's finished I can concentrate on placing the colonies. (you can imagine it's a mess right now...)
I was amazed how full the new tank already was after placing the corals. I guess I have been a bit overenthusiastic with collecting and growing out corals :lmao:
I'll take some pictures right now

As you can see I still have to arrange the corals
Besides that I have a lot of other things to do.I have to build a new lighting pendant. These photo's are under T5 only (6x ATI Blue+ and 2 ATI Aqua Blue Spezial).
I also have to organize the electrical part etc.
Sump shot. Behind the skimmer you can see the RDSB, covered with some flat Live Rock to reduce the flow.
I chose for a smaller sump for this system again (everything just fits in).
I did this because i want the flow to be very high in the sump to prevent the buildup of detritus and make sure the skimmer always process new water.
It also make the chance of CaCo3 precipitation smaller when adding Kalkwasser or 2-part.
Shot of the RDSB. In the RDSB are several crabs (can't climb out) that I collected out of the fresh LiveRock.
They like to crawl and bury themselves in the sand and keep it clean(er). Also the high flow prevents a lot of detritus buildup.
Stylopora and A. Desalwii table. Shots are under blue T5 only, still have to install the MH. So the shots are a bit blue, sorry for that.

Thanks Piotr, I don't have any problems with micro bubbles; The overflow is quiet and bubble free due to it's design and the skimmer doesn't release any when adjusted properly. Otherwise it would also be a problem in my tank with such high sump flow.
Thanks Mark, I'm really looking forward to finally sit in front of the tank and enjoy it
, instead of worrying about AEFW or be disappointed because it has not turned out the way I imagined. Leonardo
