Well a little embarrassed as i thought i had done a tank thread here.
but, basic history been reefing 35 years with everything from cubes to largest being 6x2x2 reef aquariums.
ran a 6x2x2 since 2008 , and changed that due just to age and wanting a cleaner look so bought he RSR 750 in July 2019, struggled a bit on the changeover and lost some well established fish, some which i had had for 20-30 years, i had wild clowns in that that were just about 30 years old, powder blue that was 15 + years old etc. anyways that was my fault for trusting in Prime at that time, which did not work for me.
tears over and tank was starting to stabilise by 2022 with plenty up n downs in that time, and the finally the silicon started to fail in June 2023.
New tank arrived in July 2023, and I'm about a year into that now, and its pretty stable running a simple system with no water changes and only dosing a 2 part system with some live rock in sump and skimmer. Bit of Cyano currently on the sand I'm hoping burns out soon.
Equipment is
Red Sea Reefer 750 G2+
TMC 1200 return pump on just over half.
2 x MP40's on mainly a gyre setting around 75%
Giesemann Spectra triple 250w halide with Radium HQI and 4 x T5 blue/actinic and Orphek led bar, HQI daytime, the rest is dawn + dusk in various settings.
600w heater and controller
sump with gravity fed auto top off.
It think that is it
Mainly SPS and need a few more fishies.
