Hi all , just wanted to share some pics of my 300 gallon reef tank . It measures 8 feet long x 2 feet 8 inches tall x 2 feet wide . At the moment I have a couple fishes but I intend to increase the number and variety as well as try my hand at corals in the near future. I am presently observing my tank temperature to determine if i would need a chiller.

Some night action, before the fishes.

I also have to do some serious re-arranging and management of the gazillion AQUABUS cables connecting the APEX control system together !

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I have been seeing specks and bits and pieses of stuff floating around my tank ! needless to say this isnt making me happy! I am seriously considering a FLUVAL FX6 Canister filter .......Now I've read the threads calling them "nitrate Factories" but my question is together with my oversized skimmer ,Ozone, De-nitrator and GFO reactors ,should this still be regarded as a real concern?

PS: I will be installing one of TURBOS L4 scrubbers too!

Already did and it didn't work, what's happening is the stuff is floating around and the wave makers keep moving it around so it goes to float up and go through the overflow .

Great tank....... I am Def a noob when it comes to reef tanks but I have a 75 gallon with a canister filter and I took out the filter floss and have the same issue with small particles so I will put it back in next water change..... but Def hear what some more experienced refers have to say... but so far no issues with lps and softie corals!
