Hello from Sabah, Borneo

[Donovan Joannes]

Hi there. I'm Donovan, from Sabah, the island of Borneo. Has been on saltwater aquarium for 3 years and very addicted to it for the last couple of months.

Started with small nemo tank for my daughter and after few months upgraded to 2.5 footer and subsequently to a 4 footer (75G) in My 2015. Currently running on DIY denitrator, DIY lighting system and a small 10G sump. 2 nos of Jebao RW series wavemakers and 5000LPH return pump. Various snails, long spine and tuxedo urchins, a sea cucumber, 2 starfishes, 3 anthias, a foxface, dragon wrasse, fire goby and a naso tang are some of the inhabitants.

Here are a few shots of my current 4' tank. Still a long way to go, tons of things to learn and definitely looking forward for a thriving tank ahead.

I'm learned a lot since I joined R2R, and other forums as well.

You have a gorgeous tank that appears to be thriving quite well already Thanks for sharing what you've created. Welcome to the R2R gang. Have fun, Donovan, and happy reefing! Oh, and R2R is the only forum you'll need to visit!

Thanks JSKER & David. Here is my simple filtration unit and our local SPS of unknown name. To be honest, I don't even know most of my SPS collection other than recently bought SSC & Pikachu acropora.

Thanks Mike & Jahalu. I learned the hardway as there are not many reefers in my area. Have to rely on forums for answers and recommendations.

[Donovan Joannes]

Thanks Rob. It's growing and changing for the better. A lot of awesome looking tanks in here, mine is not even close there yet.
