Hello aquarium hobbyists,

Now I'm starting my fifth saltwater aquarium. I'm trying to keep as much as possible in English on this forum.
This was the link of my old tanks:

The new plan is as follows (end of september):

There is a 207cm L x 76cm D x 74cm H aquarium tank stand (1164 liters). Why this crazy sizes: Because this is just going through the door of my room. I have now made everything as convenient as possible for my little "hobby" room. So maintenance is easy and I can easily anywhere (overflow, staging, sump from three sides etc). All my live rock is dry, well hosed down and cleaned (because of the algea problems and higher PO4 levels). And the beautiful pieces I go now again rinsing with osmosis water and Rowaphos / cabbage. I will graft the aquarium with some fresh live rock and live sand and a lot of bacteria. Bacteria of different brands. Think Zeobak, Special Blend, Denibac marin, Bacti pro and Biodigest. Are there people who have good tips about adding Bacteria? I recently read somewhere something of a new species that just came on the market, but I forgot the name.

Lighting: For a large part of the relief I still stick to the old formula: HQI, T5 combined with LED. Above the left-hand and right-hand section of the tank, two hanging fittings with Photon plus any person 1 x 400 Watt metal halide, and 4 x 39 watt T5 tubes. I go in the start-up phase to use my existing lamps and in December, I will choose the new color combinations and new metal halides. In the middle of the box will hang Kessil two spots: A A360WE at the back and a A160WE in front. I am very pleased with the Kessil LED spotlights. I keep an eye on the development of the new AP700 Kessil fixture. This fixture could be a replacement for the Photon pluses in my mind, but think it's a risk. I see enough aquariums on the forum pretty good run on Full LED, but I'm still not convinced. Could be me .... I will admit that.

Skimmer: BBKing Super Marine 250.
Other stuff:
"¢ Aqua Medic PH meter;
"¢ Aqua Medic filter tubes for filtering over Rowaphos and cabbage;
"¢ Eheim 300 watt heaters i.c.m. IKS computer;
"¢ Aqua Medic ECO 9000th transfer pump;
"¢ 1 x Tunze 6205, 1 x Tunze 6055 pump flow;
"¢ 1 x Jebao RW20, RW15 1 x Jebao flow pump; Dosing is coming. I will use the balling method. I have in the new structure no place for the Dastaco, that's too bad, I'm afraid I'm going to regret that I sold the Dastaco. So far the new plans. To be continued ......

Greetings ................
