Romanian 750 gal reef tank

[viorel]

Nine years ago, marine aquaristic phenomenon beginning in Romania, Reefcentral gave us a dream and helped us with all information that dreams come true. Thanks all! At that time I built the first 200 liters tank, 4 years ago I moved out my car from garage, and I built tank updated.

Simply awesome. What dreams are made of

 

[viorel]

Really simple, no water changes in 4 years, strong water flow, completed by a owerflow own conception (which draws 70% of water from lower and median, and only 30% from the surface) powerful skimming, oversized Refugium and finally Balling Method.
It is really simple.

amazing viorel

sorry, you use cheato

can share your experiences refugium maintenance thx.

 

[viorel]

Refugium has 2 x 1 x 0.4 meters, 3 different mix granulation of sand in the bottom, and some liverock whith chaeto to grow in all water volume, (not just the surface) Refugium is full of chaeto but once in 2-3 weeks I cut it, to grow back. Light is on 2 x 36 W T8 lamps 6000K and the program is opposite to the main tank program . Nothing special.

Nice tank! Please describe the overflow design in more detail...would love to know more about tri-zone overflow.

Really nice tank. Amazing how you can go so long without a water change.

Congratulation.

Some pictures. I hope you understand how it works. In 4 years I never clean the bottom and have not seen any debris.

Thanks Acanlover, I think a very good skimmer will remove the suspension before begin to pollute the water. My dual Beckett - skimmer works incredibly. For me this is the key.

This is how the skimmer look after a week of operation:

[viorel]

Here are some pictures not the best, but help you understand how it works.
Refugium feeds the main tank, is not filtered.
