Hey, welcome to my reef and thanks for viewing :)
New to the hobby but been diving for about 5years
Now and been seeing some pretty cool reefs so I
Renovated the house and then decided to make the
Change from freshwater to marine, best thing I've done
To date!

Had a freshwater tank running happy and cleanly for 5/6yrs
Second hand, but sources everything through Mark @ Asquith

Gyre @ 30% so fish and hammers are happy
2 pumps throttled back via taps, so wouldn't have a clue
On flow via them

* Weekly 150/ltr water changes, from a 1000ltr ibc under the house
* Test weekly 24/48hr after water change (concretor never know the Crete)
* Monthly gravel clean
* 3/4month big clean, (see what happens as it matures)
* Top up 11ltr R/O unit every 2/3days and Kalk every second
* Glass blade when needed
* Clean external glass after I get saltwater on it, due to feeding etc
* Keep the nori up in the tank
* Clean skimmer cup when dirty
*2x300w heaters on the night before water change
*6mins from ibc to tank via moray
*6mins to take water out of tank via pump to floor waste
*2mins to fill 15ltr ro collapsible container

Inspiration - Mother Nature! She's the bees knees!
And diving shows me some scapes we could only dream of!
And I live in Sydney and its to cold for a experienced diver to dive
Sydney in a 7mm when your bone thin! And you've seen it all
Plus, it won't stop raining during the better of months

Goals -

To be able to sit back after a day in the mud to watch a
awesome reef In all its glory!
My missus to enjoy the hobby as much as me(she should love it more,
She doesn't have to clean it, just looks and the odd feed)
To have everyone grow up fat and healthy, and live in a nice stable environment.

Dory - just keep swimming. Just keep swimming!

Good things take time, and we are building a ecosystem
So slow and easy

Was given a 220ltr tank with the 2clowns and blue tang
And the assbandit sprung a leak at 10pm one night,
Hence why my cycle was cut short, I didn't have much choice,
Mark was holding my rock for a fair while, all the levels were fine :)

Not getting it made in starfire glass haha ;)

Jess - my wicked missus who has sat by me through rennos
Till past midnight for months! And then when run out of materials
Start another project! Haha and for happily eating scraps so the
Tank can be as pretty as it is, I've learnt so far it's a expensive hobby :)
But well worth it


Mark @ Asquith Aquariums - for hes hard work and time
Spent helping me get this bad boy peiced together! Awesome bloke!

Adam Townsend - for all the help with scaping and water changes
Plus the know how of experience

Mark Reichel - for the help withe current scape

Drew reeves - for experience and helping me out when I have a q

Dave Martin - for the lighting under cabniet, I don't like power

Llyod - Old matey who delivers my saltwater, and he's boys
Saves me a lot of buckets! Got over that quickly!

Everyone else I've missed out on or spoken to about the tank
It's much appreciated the help I've got to get this far :)
