Thought I would show my tank. I love looking at all the builds that everyone posts and I love the idea of sumps and all the extras that everyone has. Mine seems a little basic by comparison.
I have a juwel 240lt tank which has about 50kg of rock in it. Internal filter and an eheim external ( no sump ). There are 2 powerheads ( one at each end of the tank ). The lighting is a 4' igalaxy led with 24 different time settings for each day. I have a small Fluval PS1 skimmer which runs 16 hrs a day on a time switch. The tank is in the main living room and I am a little ocd when it comes to any noise..which is why it doesn't run from 4pm to midnight each day.
I do use nopox daily and have to ocassionally top up the KH/Alk levels but that's it. Water comes from a friend of mine who has his own RO set up. It only costs me $2.50 for ro and $5 for salt water as and when I need it. I do a 25lt water change every 4 weeks.
As you can see there is a fair bit of coral in thre and quite a few fish. Levels are all pretty much spot on ( more luck than judgement I think )
Sorry about the back light..forgot to close the curtains..lol
Hope you like the set-up. Beats watching TV sometimes.
