Hi Guys
Just joined the forum after lurking in the rock work for a while now. I have kept marines for many years both tropical and Mediterranean (I hail from the island of Malta). Due to family commitments I stopped 4 years ago and now am in the initial stages of setting up the tank again. I will be setting up a softie tank. The tank is 120 cm by 46cm by 46cm. I will be running a 46cm by 46cm by 92cm sump/refigium with caulerpa spp. In my Med tank I used to grow caulerpa racemosa in the main tank. I am doing away with the trickel filter and using live rock that will go in tomorrow. I plan to use florescent lights for illumination as I have had good results with them, may upgrade later. The tank is also equipped with a large skimmer and a chiller which used to keep the tank at 18 deg cel when I kept Med species.
I feel like a complete beginner and am very nervous :confused:
These are some pictures of my previous set ups, I will scan some pictures of my med tank and post them here when I have time.
