Oh my God, it's a fire and a frying tank, this may be the most unlucky aquarists!

background

The story of my going to the sea begins in 2006 when my wife gave me a 110L tank as a wedding anniversary gift.

It worked pretty well for two years, so I switched to 340L,

The cylinder lasted about three years, and then there was a fire.

I went back to square one, I rearranged the pieces and rebuilt a 450L one.

Three months later, the window pane at the bottom of the cylinder broke, and well, history repeats itself.

After the second cleanup, I started the third trip with a 570L cylinder.

It has been two years now and is occupied by purple mushroom corals.

I remodeled the cylinder in November 2013, so the current cylinder was about 15 months old when it got TOTM.

You might think that after so many accidents my wife probably wouldn't agree to me continuing to ho ho ho,

But she was really, very patient.

System configuration

• 主缸: 570L (120 x 75 x 60cm)

• Refuge: 75L

• Egg fraction: ASM G-3

• Lighting: Two 250W Radium, two 54w ATI AB+, Lumen Bright 3 Reactor, Reeflex Cube Magnetic Suppressor

• Circulation Pump: Blue Line 55HD external water pump

• Water cycle: Mag 9.5 on closed loop, two Tunze 6065

• Reactor: Lime water, calcium, carbon, iron oxides

• Water replenisher: RO/DI

Current system

My hybrid reef tank is 570L with a 75L shelter.

It is placed in the study at home, and plays beach music 24 hours a day,

Created a very relaxing working environment.

My focus was on SPS, but there were also some LPs.

Oh, I have some fish too.

Water parameters

So far, I think the most important aspect of rearing is maintaining very stable water parameters.

I put almost all my energy and time into achieving this goal in a low-maintenance way.

I used Randy Holmes Farley for years in both parts.

After many years, I was faced with a high demand for alkali calcium and magnesium,

I developed what I call the alkali/calcium combination method.

As you can see from the picture below,

Together with good lighting, it provides a good environment for corals to grow.

I am very satisfied with this solution.

Salt: 35 ppt

pH: 8.0

Calcium: 440 ppm

Base: 10 dKH

Magnesium: 1430

phosphate:?

nitrate:?

Temperature: 80oF

illuminating

In addition to the water parameters, lighting has been another focal point in my eight years of seawater rearing.

I studied hundreds of TOTM and personally visited many different tanks.

Whenever I see a tank with bright colors growing well, I notice the lighting system.

From these experiences, I conclude that

Perfect lighting solutions for color and growth include laser lamps powered by ReeflexCube magnetic ballasts, and UVL VHO super-photochemical bulbs.

This may cost some money to equip these devices, but it is easy to afford with broken branches in the cylinder.

I don't have such a device because the space inside my tank can't squeeze out the VHO bulb,

Instead, I ran an ATI Aqua Blue Plus T5 bulb, and they seemed to be doing a good job.

So overall, I run two 250 watt SE MH laser lights,

20,000K bulb on Lumen Bright 3 Metal Halide Lamp Reactor (Large19.5" x 19.5" x 9") ,

filtration

Water is mainly filtered in three ways,

I have an ASM G-3 counterflow egg with a Sedra 5000 pump,

I change 10% water every week, and of course 100 pounds of living stone,

And I have a few reactors of small carbon and a small amount of iron oxide.

water cycle

There is enough water in the cylinder to make the LPS swing with the waves,

I use a Blue Line 55HD external water pump (1,100 GPH).

I have a magnesium 9.5 (950 GPH) drive a closed loop,

There are two inlets at the bottom of the cylinder and two outlets at the front top of the cylinder.

Finally, at the rear of the cylinder, a pair of Tunze 6065 power heads are mounted on the "Sea Swirls" (homemade),

Depending on the coral swinging back and forth.

Feeding

I feed two large handfuls of OceanNutrition Formula Two or PrimeReef flakes every day.

I also added three boxes of Piscine Energetics frozen freshwater shrimp.

Fish:

Pearl sails hang upside down

Five-line fox

Bispinacle

Boy clownfish

The gold thread is thick

Golden Dot Fox

Black Spot Immortal

Invertebrate:

Red-footed hermit crab

Crab snails

Glow Star Snail

summary

Seawater rearing has always been a huge challenge.

But it also brought me a pleasant enjoyment.

Whether I'm standing in front of the tank staring at the corals, or some homemade project to reduce maintenance,

I just love life with the sea tank around me.

It can bring a lot of pressure, but most of the time it is a tool to reduce stress.
