Henders New Reef 180G - Pics 3/jun

looks good hender, nice work !!

 

Thanks mate.


Just an update, ordered 4 Hydor Koralia Evolution 4000. ITs the 240v equivalent of the evo 1050. Should be here in about 2-3 weeks. So unfortuantly for me it means I have no distraction on my uni exams, and unfortunately for you guys there will be no meaningful updates till then.

However stay tuned, cuz when i'm back. I'll have pics

 

Well, I've decided to start my cycle this weekend. We have enough old power heads lying around which will create enough flow for the cycle. Then when the new ones come they can be added accordingly.
I'm planning on starting the cycle with water taken from the four footer which is holding our current stock and a bit of squid. I was planning on having no lights for the majority of the cycle, hopefully to keep algae booms down - I used lights on my lion cycle and still have algae dramas in that tank.
I plumbed up the return pipe and finished laying the sand this week, so its getting closer and rather exciting. Shall post a bunch of pics when the water goes in

 

Update Time...

Rather shortish update, but random pic heavy
Started the cycle and that's it

 

its lookin good btw i dunno bout everyone else but i love pic heavy threads:thumbs_up

 

what kinda light do you have lighting up your refuge?

 

Pics make everything much more sweeter
The light is a t5 unit we had running on our old 180. At some stage it got salt water in it so you can only run one tube in it, so i stuck it over our sump.
Not 100% sure on what the unit is, but I can go check it out if you like.
(I didn't buy it, my parents did so I have NFI )

 

Great start, congrats on the birth of the tank.

 

nice start :thumb_up:

 

It's a great set-up. Following to see what you stock with.
