Hi everyone,
We are totally new to salt water aquariums and have decided to set up a 6 x 2 x 2 tank. We are from Brisbane, Australia and we have had the tank and stand made by Gary Maher (through Fish Tales in Greenbank) and bought all of our equipment through Ben at Age of Aquariums in Browns Plains.
We have aquascaped our rock and have appreciated all the help so far from other members. We have constructed and attached our light rack and are now at the point of filling the tank with RODI water that we are making (what a slow process!). We have gone down the path of no live rock or sand to avoid introducing any nasties from the beginning.
Being new to this hobby, we would appreciate any help and advice we could get.
System Objectives:
We hope to have a mixed reef with both SPS and LPS corals and reef fish.
System Type: Mixed Reef
Display System:
Strike up Date: TBA "“ still filling
Display Tank: 6ft x 2ft x 2ft weir overflow.
Display Lighting: 3 x Radion Gen 2 lights

Sump: 3ft x 18in x 18in
Refugium: Built into sump. Miracle Mud, some green weeds on top of the mud, 2 x 550 Phosbane reactors - 1 with SILPHOS920 and the other with CARBOPHOS940. 2 x Tunze pumps for reactors.
Refugium Lighting: Aqualina
Support systems:
System Water: RODI water with Tropic Marin pro reef sea salt
Display Water circulation: 1 vortech mp40w "“ we may need another?
Return Pump: Aquabee 7000
Skimmer: Tunze 9410
Evaporation Top Up: Tunze 3155 auto top-up
Other Goodies:
Kamoer doser pump
Aqua ultra violet steriliser light 57watt
Chemical Support: TBA
