Hello all,
CURRENT FTS:
I'm new to the hobby of saltwater aquariums and wanted to share the progression of my build with you all! I've done freshwater planted tanks in the past and finally made the decision to play in the big leagues and start a reef tank!
Here is my equipment list so far:
ADA 60F 8.6 Gallon rimless aqaurium
30 gallon DIY sump with refugium and liverock sections
Mame medium sized overflow Eshopps Eclipse Overflow Box (small)
Kessil A160WE 40W LED Light
DIY Protein skimmer Bubble Magus Curve 5 Protein Skimmer
36W LED Grow light for Refugium
Top Fin circulation pump Ecotech Mp10
Koolermax AR-122 6-stage RO+DI
Quietpro 1.2 Controlled Pump
DIY float valve auto top off
Jebao dosing pump
Since I live near the coast in Southern California, I will be using mostly natural seawater filtered through filter floss and activated carbon for my water changes (except for after rainstorms when runoff destroys the water quality).
I cant wait to have the tank up and running! There are many pictures to come so stay tuned! (Yes, I know the filter sock is the complete wrong size)
