JimmyDang Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hi Nanoreef, I'd like to start by introducing myself. I'm a full-time university student currently studying a bachelor of business and commerce. I currently reside in Sydney, Australia... and for a very long time have stalked these forums at the amazement of sweet nano tanks builds on this forum. I've decided to create a tank journal and some what immerse myself into this community to further educate myself and share my tank and the experiences I've had along the way of reefing for the past 6 years. My aim for this system is a mixed reef system comprising of nice ricordeas, zoanthids, sps and a handful of selective lps corals. So to start off.. here are some of my systems specifics. Fill Date: 21-03-2015 Display Tank Dimensions: 24"x15"x13" Lighting: Kessil A360W-E Stand: Innovative Marine Fusion 20 Wooden Stand Tank: Innovative Marine Fusion 20 Tank Water: NSW Water Circulation: Ecotech Vortech MP10ES Skimmer: TBA Heater: Aquael 50 Watt Unbreakable Heater Evaporation Top Up: Hydor Smart Level ATO Tank Before State: Top Down Whilst Water Change: Current FTS Shot: Link to comment

uwdanno Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Tank is looking great man. Envious of that starfish. Very cool. Might have to see if I can snag one up around here Edit- how much does the star move around? Do you ever have issues with it closing up your zoas and other lips? Link to comment

The starfish is actually just a common fromia star fish which cost about $20-25 here in Aus The star moves quite frequently.. but visibly.. i see it a couple times during the day.. most of the times its walking around within the rock work. It doesnt bother my corals so much.. not to the point id feel detrimental to health Link to comment

We aussies are envious of the corals american folk are able to get into the country.. Yea we do get a lot of important corals especially here In California near the LA airport! I'm surprised because a lot of our show corals and some of the more pricier ones are from Aussie, still cool you live near a good ocean bro! Link to comment

reefernanoman Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 FTS: Favourite Blastomussa: Cairns Marine SPS: Mixed Zoanthid Frags: Beautiful! How do you like the Kessil light? Link to comment
JimmyDang Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Beautiful! How do you like the Kessil light? Thanks for the kind input! The kessil is an honest unit. Ive use literally every brand on the Australian market.. and I appreciate the fact that this unit can easily sustain all types of corals. Also like the fact its a simplistic unit with intensity and blue and white balance dials.. I also dont use the controller because there's no real benefits of spending extra $150 for sunset and sunrise as they dont really do anything besides set a cool mood. Link to comment

But it does help acclimate your corals when the light is new. Down under looks very interesting BTW. I always enjoy the nature shows that show all the crazy poisonous animals that can kill you there like the funnel web spider. I also miss Steve Erwin. My mom has been on vacation once in the past to Australia. Link to comment
