Our first mixed reef tank 7 month old

[Lesley]

HI, newbie here. Had freshwater fish for 12 months and made the move to saltwater about 7 months ago. Own a 275gallon (1100liter) mixed reef tank. Am learning every day, have lots of stupid question, but want to learn as much as possible to have all my fish and corals happy and thriving. This is a picture of our tank !

Tunze ATO with RODI water. 4 stage sump. Skimmer/DSB/live rock/return. Phos reactor & carbon reactor No secrets involved. Lots if water changes and test water for all parameters weekly. Lots of luck really. And of course forums like this to help us newbies not make too many mistakes. Thanks for your lovely comments. Compared to some of the pictures on this site I thought mine wash a bit ordinary. Lol hope this info helps !!

Wow! What a nice set up. Love the pop of colors!

[Lesley]

Thank you. We are striving for colours !! Don't like too much f the same thing. Although seems the care levels of all different corals are quite demanding. I hard feed all my corals twice a week !! They eat like pigs. Lol
