The Austrian Dropoff Tank

[Florian_W]

Hi Florian. That is a wonderful tank. Love the colours!
Would you mind share some details of the equipment and set up below the tank?

Very nice!

Excellent!

thanks Guys!

so here we go on my sump area:


the sump is 85x58x30cm
the refugium is 80x25x20cm

i run a Vertex Zeolite reactor for the Aquaforest filtermedium
a GHL Doser 2 for balling
a Coral Box Dc skimmer which is going to be replaced by a Royal Exclusiv Double Cone 200 (can´t wait)
a Jebao DC12000 return pump for the display tank and the refugium
and around 1,5l auf Siproax

i really want to get rid of the Jebao return pump in the near future and maybe i will double the volume of the Siporax, but i don´t know...

Any more questions? ^^

Cheers,
Flo

Very nice. When I saw AquaForest I was, ahhhh now I know why the tank looks so good. I have been running AquaForest balling since January and the complete line since March.

thanks mate!
but i´m not using the AF Balling salts or Component +1,+2,+3... have to finish my balling salts from Fauna Marin first

I see, I am using the 1+2+3+ and very happy. I am also very happy that I switched over to the balling method.

Do you mind simply explaining the balling method? I for some reason thought it was pretty much the same thing as dosing two part

yes but it´s very expensive if you have a bigger tank with more and more demanding corals...
but i´m just getting into that stuff...
