My 60G reef

[epoxy]

Hello acro freaks!

Its time for me to start a thread here about my new tank after many years of lurking

This tank was set up back in May as an upgrade from my nano reef. It has had its up and downs until about a month ago when things started settling and the acros finally started to show PE and stoped dying...

Some of you might recognize the tank as i bought it from my brother who had the "lazy reef" thread here on RC.


Tech specs:
Light: ATI Power Module LED 2x75w + 4x39w T5
Water movement: 2x Gyre xf130
ATO: smart aqua ATO
Return: Eheim compact 2000
Skimmer: Coralbox D300
Sump with sand, live rock and chaeto.

Water params:
Alkalinity: around 8,3
Calcium: 400
Magnesium: 1290
Potassium: 428 (a bit high)
Nitrate: 0,2 (dosing KNO3)
Phosphate: Usually reads 0 on hanna
Salinity: 34.8

And some pictures!

I really like your minimalistic aquascape. Do you have more LR or rubble in your sump? I am going bare bottom on my new tank and will be using a piece of marinepure in my sump.

I have a 2 inch layer of 1mm sand in the sump and some live rock. I also have some chaetomorpha lit by a 24watt growled.

Marinepure, have to look that up!

Tank is looking good, but I really love your avatar. Nearly sprayed mountain dew across my keyboard when I saw where you are from :lol2:
