New reefer from South Africa

RudyvandenBerg · Mar 30, 2020

Hey guys and girls...

Starting back up in the hobby/passion after about a 20 year absence.

Here's a pic of my attempt after running for around 4 months now.

I set up this 115liter (30 odd gallons) with a planter box overhead sump. All running well and water chemistry constant and well within spec.

I'm looking forward to chatting to everyone and reading about your experiences.

Cheers

Sure... it's nothing groundbreaking and kept it simple really.

Planter box sectioned with stages of filter media and running a nano skimmer with wavemaker and Zedlight Lancia 2. Also a small refugium.

Planter box mounted ontop with filter media sections marked.

Dymax nano skimmer (works hard) but perfect for this setup.

Business end with DIY control panel.

Absolutely! I dont get why people talk about something but pics are nowhere to be found... I love pics. Sometimes a 1000 word post could have been a pic with a question mark and it would be better understood.
