Rabita Reef Cube!

[moisesderota]

Hello everybody! Here´s my new sps proyect called Rabita Reef, I live in south Spain, and had saltwater aquarium for many years, but they were all local fish tanks, I love fishing and always kept a 2m long fish only tank, I´ve had a reef tank for a year and since I started to get everything going ok, and my corals were growing on a good pace I decided to go for a bigger tank...
It´s 80x80x45cm (290Litres) + 70L sump. It´s running on a 150w led lamp with 80white + 70 blue 1w leds made in china...

Here´s some pictures, like my aquascaping? it took me about two weeks to get it done, glueing one rock per day!!!

as you can see it was hard work getting the table to the room, had to lift it 3 floors and put it through the window!!

See ya...

Very nice. I love the steel stand. The rocks look good too. I can't wait to see it with some nice corals in there.

Thank you guys... I can´t wait either, I have the other tank right next to this one and corals are looking worse since I took off the sump to change it to the other one... I have right now 0.24 fosfates I putted ultraphos on the zolite reactor but it seems itt´s doing nothing, I guess I´ll have to start the method again and add the zeolite, to get them down... Any advice? thank you

[SawdustInTank]

Wow! Lift it three floors and then bring it through the window! That alone is a good start to this tank. What is the black box on the elevated platform in the stand? Tagging along.

[moisesderota]

That black box is the chiller, right under it I´m going to put the RO water, and on the lef side goes the sump, it´s already there, I´ll take some pictures later on today, this morning I remove the ultraphos and added 500ml of zeolite to the reactor, 15 drops of zeobak + 15 of zeostart, tonight I´ll add the same Tomorrow I´ll get some more zeolite from the LFS to raise it up to 800ml wich I think is enough for my system. Thank you!!!

2 weeks for the aquascape???.....Well, it was worth it!!... Excellent start!

How much of Zeostart did you dose? 15 drops or 15 ml?? If drops, then you should be fine.

You could ask around for dosing instructions (if you want) on the Zeo site, they are very helpful!

Good luck!
