Beautiful aquarium, well done

Specs are
Tank 210 x 150 x 75
Additional water in sumps etc 800lt
Total volume about 3000 lt

Tank has been running for about 7-8 years and most corals are grown from frags.
EQUIPMENT

Deltec SC 3070S skimmer
Deltec 601S Calcium reactor
Custom height Deltec Rowaphos reactor
Roll filter for removing fine particals
Lit by Aquaillumination lighting for the last 5 years, initially AI SOLs and now HYDRA 26 HD

Has run from day 1 on D-D H2Ocean Pro+ salt which I endeavour to change 20% per month
Only chemical additions are from the calcium reactor for calcium, magnesium and dKH plus ROWAphos for phosphate control. I also dose iodine religiously 2 times per week.

Fish get between 12 and 24 cubes of frozen krill/mysis per day plus nori and D-D Reef Paste as a treat.
Corals also get a mix of Polyplab ReefRoids and D-D LPS/SPS powders plus a squirt of Polyplab COLOURS.

That is about it
A simple but fairly robust system relying on about 300kg of live rock

Wow, this may be the most beautiful reef tank I've ever seen! I see many reefers who just create a wall of rocks and corals, but you've created depth in you tank, which most reefers forget -Fantastic job! :)
Question: How many gallons do you have there???

Michael Holmgaard - 8 years ago

All I can say is wow. This reef truly shows an emence dedication and knowledge for the lifestyle. I'm envious of your system. I would love to know what equipment you're using to keep this in this condition.
