G'day reefing buddies. This is my first post and let me introduce my tank and bit of details.
- From : Australia
- Tank: WaterBox Reef 130.4
- Age of tank: 11 months 9 days
- Filtration: ClariSea 3000
- Return Pump: sicce syncra sdc 7.0
Automation:
- KH Guardian for Alk
- Arduino along with Atlas Scientific EC, PH and Temperature sensor. Kalkwasser drip can be turned off depending on PH range
- Automatic water change
- ATO reservoir top off using ESP 8266
- InkBird temperature controller which control heater and fan
Chemistry:
- I had no clue about reefing when I started 11 months back and mostly followed RedSea recipe, so you will see many RedSea bottles in my sump area.
- Red sea salt blue or red what ever available
- KH buffer: Hy-Clor pH Increaser (Soda Ash) it's a swimming pool product
- Ca buffer:Hy-Clor Calcium Increaser it's a swimming pool product
- Mg: RedSea
I use GFO, small amount of carbon and A Zeo
I'm liking this hobby very much (I guess my wife too) and soon getting a second tank which is again WaterBox LX 340.7 . My plan is to combine my existing system with the new one
Now please enjoy some pictures (hope you will enjoy)
It's bit tight

collecting for LX 340.7
Thanks for your time.
Welcome! Glad you joined.
Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). You might even consider everything you put above, just create new thread in Member Tanks area of Forum and copy everything into new thread.
This might help you find people local to you:
