Ahooi....... So I was SUPER LUCKY to recieve a RSM REEFER 170 for free about 2 months ago from this clown called @Claundyke Think he fell in his HEAD pretty hard. Thank anyway BUD. Its been just standing there since then, but i pulled up my socks & started restoring / slight fixing it.... Few issued that needed fixing. TO DO LIST Glass scratched Front door re-wrap Plumbing redone (original pluming gone) Find a light (My Pico Light will not be enough :m16 DONE LIST: Glass scratched: I got a company out from Germiston to buff all the scratched out (today actually), they came all the way to the Vaal & sorted me out. Light: I was lucky to pick up a Radion XR15W Pro G3 for a great price & could not leave it. With that being said & see-ing the result with my own eye in @Christo 's tank, i decided to get a hybrid system & ordered myself a Aquatic Life Hybrid 24" T5 Light. This was ordered today from Ebay & is expexted to land month end. Skimmer: Got a Curve 5 with the tank. Thanks again @Claundyke Doser: Ordered a JEBAO 3.4 WIFI Doser off ebay as well & waiting for that. (want to try automated WC) ....................................................................................................... I got a NICE piece of rock as well with the tank & will be trying to do a floating reef bare bottom reef. Gonna do the same as what @Claundyke tried, just better. hahahahah Well I will try to update you all as i got along Tank: Before Thanks all -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So stripping it down & getting the 3 front panels polish, since they struggled to polish it nicely in the corners. Will strip the rest down the weekend & clean, then the notorious RR tank builder @RealReefer will help me put it together again with meticulous & immaculate seams. Will keep all updated -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sooooooo 2day felt a bit like Christmas.... Aqautic Life 24" T5 Hybrid arrived Build Quility looks good, will see when i assemble it. End Result will look like this with my Radion XR15 in the middle. Im considering to paint the radion white, what you all think? More info. https://www.aquariumcomputer.com/products/ghl-illumination/aquaticlife-t5ho-hybrid/ Also got myself a REEF OCTO KS100 Kalk Stirrer, Rip this thing doesnt fit into the cubert, LOL. Will run it next to the tank with a DOSER Jebao Doser 3.4 WIFI SonOff Smart House Devices These badboys connect to your home WIFI & you can control anything attached to it with your phone or to a set program you gave it. Give & Cuts power. This will be used as timers for the kalks stirrer & the T5's Still just waiting for my BM Filler Roller & T5 globes to come then im pretty much sorted for now. Need to strip the last bit of the tank so we (@RealReefer ) can reassemble the tank for start up...... We getting there guys Njoy

So I may as well join in the fun, I left the 365 Day Challenge tank in the office, the RSM is there and my Clowns are getting annoyed with me having my hands in the tank constantly. I also went ahead and purchased some corals that i have been watching for a long time now and noticed that the store has a Covid19 Sale I jumped on the sale. (Who doesnt like 25% off corals?) So I decided to have a play around with what i have at home and set up with spares. Tank: 5 Gallon L40xW20xH26 (15.75x7.75x1025) Light: undecided Heater: 25W Adjustable Flow: Hydor Pico Evo-Mag 180 with RFG Nozzle Themes: Euphylliadae Corals and Floating Reefscape Rock: 5 lbs Dry Baserock Sand: 10 lbs Samoa Pink So I painted the back black on this one, hopefully increasing the contrast with the corals that i will place in here, nice not to see any/much light spill as well The internal filter is in the shot to try and remove as much cloudiness from the water as possible
