Introduction:
So after WAY too long I have my tank at my place now ! Some of you may know the display ;) azza's beast ! It will be a month or so before she's wet but it gives me time to plan ! I'm going very minimalist with my rock work in the display see the pics for my inspiration for my scape !


Reefing Since: 2008 (I think ? )

System Objectives: to create a stable pristine piece of reef porn ill be very picky with what corals go into this I don't want anything that doesn't smack you in the face when you see it ! It'll be LPS dominated mainly by hammers frogs torches and others that sway.... And a clam or two

Type of reef: mixed LPS dominant

Initial Fill Date: early June hopefully

Display Tank Dimensions: 4.5L X 2.5W X 2H

Display Lighting: 8x54w ATI sunpower

Stand: white laminated

Hood or Rimless: rimless euro brace

Sump Design: basic 3 part with fuge and marine pure block

NSW or ASW: NSW

Display Water circulation: 2 x tunze 6095's and a 7092 controller

Return Pump: not sure yet

Skimmer: TBA

Evaporation Top Up: Auto DIY

Chemical additions: mostly by WC as I'm 10 minutes from a good clean collection site so plans are to do large frequent changes

Sooo much room for coral placement. Nice scape!

No not my scape just a pic from the Internet ! I'm aiming for something very similar tho one big wide bookie and then a low flat rock area with lots o swimming space :)
