xiggie Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hi everyone , I've been around this forum for ages ,started my first marine tank like a decade ago and decomed due to unforeseen reasons. Long story cut short , early last year I've decided to restart this challenging, mind boggling, interesting and $$ sucking hobby again. Started with a 2f sumpless tank and decided it was not enough so went looking for a suitable tank and found a nice setup it came with a chiller and some kewl stuff. Changed some equipment and ended up with these final setup below, My 25% tank setup Display tank: 3x2x2 cabinet and hood Sump: 2.5x1.5x1.5 Lighting: Reefbreeder photon 24 Water Circulation: Jebao RW15 Return Pump: Atman 4k Chiller: resun 450 Reactor: BM C100 calcium reactor Filtration Skimmer: BM curve 7 Phosban FR Biosphere Algae scrubber/Mangrove Quote Stairway to Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiggie Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Had this setup for awhile and decided to try Sps , can't really get them to survive except those really hardy one like Birdnest and monti, so I got to this , Quote Stairway to Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
