Very nice, now tell me please... What's under the hood?! Do you use a denitrifyer? Carbon reactor? And what type of water do you use??

RO water and redsea coral pro salt.
Biopellets, GAC and GFO.
Calcium reactor with TLF reborn midia and dolomite
Supplements - carbohidrates, aminoacids and KZ stopflatworm.

I have recently added a chaetomorpha reactor. Guess I may use less GFO!

Hello guys.

My name is Junio and I am from Brazil.
I have recently signed to this forum and for the first days I have being only learning from you guys.
So, now is time to show you my third aquarium.
It is a 2.2x0.5x0.45m starfire glass. I am a shallow reef addict, as you can notice. Sorry for the metric, but we don't use imperials.
Hope you enjoy it.
And please, feel free to comment and help me improve my reef!
Best regards!

Would like to seeit

I am very curious of your lighting schedule, would you mind sharing times and percentages?

Hello Daniel.
I made some minor changes, but you can see the base schedule in this previous post :

RY in 5% from 10 to 12pm is for moon phase effect.

Thanks Junio
You keep NO3 is 5ppm or 0.5 ppm

I have 5 hydra 52 , and will setup times like you did.
Zeovit system is kill my SPS about a month ago :-(.
Now im slow to take zeovit out of my reef tank.
All your information really helpful to backup my tank.

Nitrates here are 2 to 5 ppm. I am not seeking for a ULNS anymore!
Go slow with Hydra 52 light change. I recommend you using acclimation mode in 60% light decrease for a month.
