Hi all

 

My name is dan i am new to this form but not to reef keeping,anyway here is spec to my tank ect.

 

My goal was to have a very simple and cheap system that would be used to grow out sps frags and maricultures ready for a larger future system if i ever do lol.

 

The tank is located in converted pantry and is very low maintanence. It often gets neglected.

 

Like many before me, I often wondered what all of the excitement was over the coloured twigs but I have succumbed to them despite much resistance. However, money is not a never ending resource for me so I plan on keeping it simple, with minimum equipment. No sump just hang on skimmer (deltec MCE 300) and a cheap hang on filter ect ,I will try and use the equipment best I can therefore ensuring maximal chance of success. So here is a run down of things as they are.
