Hi all, just cleaned out my tank a few days back, thought it would be nice to start a diary / photo log of the tank as it progresses. Brief history, this tank had some LPS from previously, added some SPS but then gave up after a while of neglect due to work / other commitments. Last week i took out all the sand, scrubbed down the tank and put back the live rock and whatever livestock survived. Some upgrades here and there, restocked some things and added some frags. Hopefully all goes well for a relative newbie!

Tank size: 36"x18"x24" high

Other stuff:

1x mp40,1x mp10

Deltec 1455 skimmer

Hailea Hs28a chiller (a bit undersized i know)

2x Hydra 26 lights

Vertex libra doser

Biopellet reactor

Keeping the equipment list simple, only intending to dose A/B and trace. My goal is to achieve a mixed SPS/LPS reef.

So far everything appears to be stable :) Taking this slow and steady.

Just for comparison, my hs-90a chills 183 liters of water from 27-25 in 35 minutes. Around 3-4 hours of cut out time depending on ambient temperature. Sometimes can be 8 hours or more on rainy days. 1 wave maker, 1 return pump, 1 uv lamp, 1 skimmer, lights.

I recently changed to a 1/5 hp arctica! Sold the hailea to my friend, took too long to chill. On time for the Hs-28 was about 1-1.5 hour, off time about 1-2 hours depending on the weather

Nice aquascape。

Mind sharing what is the size of the sump?

Just an update after months of doing nothing, after some spring cleaning before CNY!
