The first tank was made by Skalar. The second one by eRybka.pl
These are local Polish manufacturers.

I changed the lighting. Instead of old Pacific Sun Diuna T5 14 x 54 W I bought two ATI Powermodule T5 lamps 6 x 54 W. It's now possible to order white glossy paint, it fits perfect.

Everything looks awesome! Set up, corals, fish, definitely TOTM level!
![]() Could you share your current measurements, maintenance routines and nutrient export method? Any coral supplements? What are you using in the in-sump reactors and for biological filtration? How new light fixture and Ca reactor compare vs previous?

Thank you!

Here are measurements from September: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The measurements were taken when the old Ca reactor was turned off for a month and the new one just started working. That's why Ca is extremaly low. I make 120 l water change every week (or two). I use Instant Ocean salt. There are 3 filters (2.5 l each): Rowa Phos, active carbon and Reef Interests biopellets XL. This month I started using Aquaforest microelements and coral suplements. Hope it help to get better colours. New lighting seems to be much better than the old one. Although there is 2 T5 bulbs less aquarium is much brighter. I noticed that corals that are placed near bottom started to grow. I put the same T5 bulbs so I'm sure the change is caused by the lamp. My old Ca reactor was simple DIY, had some leaks. I really needed to replace it. The new one works good. Its only weakness is the noise caused by dosing pump.

Nice tank.
Quick question. I noticed you have a Maxspect Gyre on the side there. How is that working and what do you have it set on? If you don't mind me asking. I have a 240 that I'm setting up and trying to figure out how I will use the one I have. I think I'm going to use a pair of Sea Swirls on the returns so was thinking of placing it similar to the way you have yours. I am having difficulty picturing how the water flows when the overflow is in place and the returns...

This setup is SO cool!
Great attention to detail. I am slowly removing my sand too, unfortunately I would have to find a new home for my Potter's wrasse if I wanted to remove it all, and we love him so it is a tough decision. The SPS love the flow and lower nutrients that no-sand provides! Keep up the good work! |

Beautiful achilles tang! I'm rushing to get my 180 up and running so I can get one. Also glad I'm not the only one who factored in my reef tank into the house buying process! Haha...gotta make sure there is enough room!
