November 2022: It's been a while since I've participated on this forum but a lot has happened since 2019 when I started my shallow reef tank. First, I moved and the new home didn't have a great spot for the shallow tank so it meant a new tank build. During the transition, my livestock lived in a rubbermaid bin for several months. Fast forward to today, I now have two tanks. One acropora tank and another gigantea anemone specimen tank. The details of each system along with a FTS are as follows: Acropora Tank Tank: Elos 100 Light: 6 Bulb ATI Powermodule T5 + LED Hybrid Flow: 4 Nero 5s Skimmer: Royal Exclusiv Double Cone 130 Mechanical: None (no socks, rollers, nothing) Additives: Kalkwasser Reactor + ESV 3 Part Gigantea Tank Tank: UNS 60U Light: Giesemann 150 Watt Halide Flow: 2 Nero 3s Skimmer: None Mechanical: Tunze Comline for surface skimming Additives: ESV 3 Part March 2019: I've been spending the last 6 months looking at some of the gorgeous tank builds here and now that my own tank build is taking off, I will introduce myself. I go by Variant on forums and I love good coffee, hiking, and my miniature schnauzer Mona. I travel frequently for work but will try my best to document my reef tank journey. I'm hoping to build a mixed but SPS dominated tank for my living room. Nothings set in stone so we'll see how things change over time. Equipment List Tank: 30" x 25" x 12" (760mm x 635mm x 300mm) Crystal Dynamic Aquarium Sump: 24" GEO Auto Filter Roll ("AFR") Light: 8x24 ATI Powermodule Wifi Flow: x2 Vortech MP10QD Skimmer: Deltec 600i Controller: GHL Profilux 4 Doser: GHL Doser 2.1 Quick pictures of the setup after picking up the tank today. Will be traveling in a bit so updates might be a tad slow!
