Danano's 50G Reef

danano · 10/01/2019, 07:11 AM

Started a 15G nano in April and two months ago, transitioned to the 50G.

After almost 12yrs away from reef keeping, I'm back...

Decided to go with a smaller modular setup this time. A 50G with a 30G sump and 32G prop+refugium tank.

The idea was/is to keep the reef setup and its maintenance as simple as possible.

Great looking tank

Thanks gimmiks and jsarrow.

Here are a few images of my setup, the stuff in the cabinets. Sump, plumbing, skimmer, auto-doser, wavemaker and pump controllers, chiller, etc.

Tanks and cabinets were custom built. Main tank is 26Lx26Wx20H. Prop/fuge tank is 30x20x13. Sump is 20x20x18.

In the beginning....

And then there was water, crushed coral and rock...

And bacteria to seed the tank....

And lights. After some basic research and seeing reefers' tanks under different lighting setups, and with a predominantly SPS reef in mind, I went for the AI Hydra HDs. I liked the ease of setting up and configuring the lights/spectrum, and the user friendly mobile app.

Plus a view from the top taken mid-afternoon under "more white" light....
