Show Us Your SUMPLESS Tank(s) !

[PERCY_LONG_PRONG]

Hi folks,

Im new on here and new to reefing also. This is the perfect thread for me.

Currently I have a Juwel Rio 350 litre tank - standard with the internal filter, Juwel LED lights etc

I have it up and running with approx 25kg of live rock, a Fluval FX4 and the internal filter. Water parameters are ok as I cycled witha bottle of ATM Colony

Could someone please advise me what media, how much and what order I should put in both filters to keep the water parameters in check.

The current filter media was in the filters as I also bought a used Juwel Rio 240 to set up as a second tank (this came with FX4, Juwel int skimmer etc). I just want to make sure I have it set up correctly going forward as I would like to keep corals etc

Currently I have no ammonia or nitrite however I do have Nitrates (which may be a lot to do with the used filter) I intend to do a water change at the weekend to reduce that and hopefully can keep it fairly low without too many large water changes

Thanks folks - any advice for a complete newbie greatly appreciated

I'd love to hear about what happened...
I have a brand new empty RIO 350 awaiting its first fill, I've spent a couple of weeks on reef research, I could end up with a couple of Piranhas to be honest, or I could end up with a beautiful coral reef, this thread is an absolute gold mine for me - I'm only on page 2, I'm savoring the pages.

I'm thinking about trying 30kg live rock and deep live sand, a HOB skimmer, water movement, some Kessil lighting and then experimenting with water and Coral for an extended period of time before I think about getting any fish.

Hopefully an email notification reaches you from this - or something, and you come back and tell how it went.
