Hey Everyone!
Today is the day when I added water to my build, time to start the diary. Hooray! after "some" time getting it ready!
I did everything myself. Glass, stand, AIO panel, hardscape. I am trying to keep it at low cost. Different to my cube, I am going to use RO/DI water not the one from the ocean (my back is happy!).
OK, so water is and happily circulating. I have added ATM Colony Marine bacs, so at least four days before I test the skimmer. Mix is with Tropic Marin PRO-REEF, as it sounds like a well known mix and suitable for various organisms.
Glass: ADA90 made to AIO, 48G/182L
In the panel: return pump EHEIM, skimmer TUNZE, heater and baskets with foams for mechanics
Circulator: Jebao SCP-70M
Hardscape: dry rock (around 20kg) + live sand (two bags)
I am going to do the tests later, no point at this moment.
I still need to buy light: AI Blade Grow 90 and also a net, will go with RedSea DIY Mesh - I could not find alternative. Need to build the ATO (have all the parts) and for a time being I am getting ready the inside of the cabinet. No rush, taking it easy
I will get the hardscape completed when the water will clear. Need to push sand here and there and add small builders, stones and gravel, I also collected a lot of sea shells which will need to be boiled well first.
How'd you like it?
