99,Hello everyone !
my name is Yanir , i'm 38 years old ' from israel.
I have been in the hobby for the past 15 years, I went through 2 tank collapses in these years, and I learned that patience and acquiring knowledge is the way to success in this hobby.
My first tank was a nano with soft corals and roses, from there I upgraded to a bigger tank with LPS corals, and from there to a bigger tank with LPS corals and some SPS and the current tank is my dream tank...
some technical details:
Main tank with a volume of 500 liters, extra clear glass of course front and sides.
Frag tank with a volume of 120 liters, which will mainly contain LPS corals.
Iron stand, covered with epoxy wood.
Sump with a volume of 200 liters, with a division of 4 chamber: a refuge chamber, chamber for the skimmer and diffrent reactors, and a return pump chamber.
The main filtration is a roller mat made by Theiling ,
It is followed by a refuge with Kessil led model 160 flora lighting.
Tank:
Display tank of 500 liters,frag tank of 120 liters , sump of 200 liters .
Filtration :
Skimmer is TUNZE 9430
Theiling roller mat
refugium
Trop-Tronic UVC 85w
1 reactor with Maxspect bio-sphere
1 reactor with active carbon
1 reactor with rowa phos
60 kg of Dry Indonesian rocks
Flow:
Return pump Red Dragon 100w high pressure , 9,000 l\h
Maxspect gyre FX350 - 2 units
1 MP10 pump for the frag tank
Control:
GHL profilux 4 + KH director and GHL dosing pumps will the manager of this tank
Lightning :
Frag tank - Radion XR30 BLUE , gen 5.
Display tank -
At first, I installed a hybrid lighting fixture made by Giessmann ,model Aurora V8, with 8 T5 bulbs and 4 LED clusters.
This lighting fixture is great fixture , but not enough for the requirements of SPS corals, in my personal opinion. This subject was tested with a PAR meter.
Over the years, the most beautiful and healthy tanks I have seen was with metal halide lighting. Next week I will install my new lighting fixture - 2 metal bulbs with a power of 400 watts with 6 T5 bulbs, with a power of 24 watts each. The metal lights will be lit and activated by 2 electronic checks made by Lumatek.
Dosing:
GHL dosing pumps. they will dose Tropic Marin 3 parts (balling method)
Also
i will hook up kalkwasser to the system to boost ph levels.
Tempeture:
The system will bo cooled by 1 HP chiller / i it will be heated by 2 units of 300w titanium heaters and also by Mh
The tank is ruight now at the end of the cycle , here is some pics of installation and progress , have a great weekend !
