Hello everyone,
It has been a while since I´ve been active in the online reef community, but that doesn't mean I haven't been active at all.
But before I tell you about my new endeavours, I would like to (re)introduce myself and the reefs I kept before.
It all started with Formosa Forest, about 10 years ago. A rimless cube long before rimless and cubes were sexy
After that, I decided to go shallow, super shallow. The Lagoon was the result.
After I moved to a new apartment, I created Apogon Reef.
After a major crash, I rescaped the reef and went for fuzzy SPS, Stylo's and Pocci's. It resulted in Poccilopora Garden. It's still up and running.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basically, this is almost 10 years of my reefing experience. Finally I have the opportunity to take it to the next level with my new project.
A few months ago I was able to rent an Office, just minutes from where I live. This office has a separate wet-room with all the utilities I need. Drains, waterworks, electricity etc.
Besides the fact that this office is perfect for my school (Biology) tutoring activities and Study/Lab, it's also the perfect place to create a new, large reef system.
I'm able to create a large sump area with Refugium, Frag system, large Sump and, maybe the most important, a Quarantine.
This is all separated from the show tank in a separate room, with all the utilities I need. All the tanks will be connected so it will become one large system.
I have all the room and possibilities to create my ultimate dream reef.
The new system will be build in two phases:
Phase I:
80"x20"x15" Frag Tank
35"x20"x15" Refugium
35"x20"x15" Quarantine
45"x25"X25" Sump
Phase II (~3 months):
70"x32"25" Rimless Showtank
Phase I already started, I've made some (crappy) cellphone pics to share my progress with you all. I'm very exited that I'm able to share the build of this dream that I have for so long with you all. Feel free to share your thoughts, comments etc. with me, it is well appreciated!
I'll update soon with more info and pics of the progress I made so far.
