    I have a 400L display tank and a 60L sump with refugium. Need advice on how to start. From curing LR to maturing the tank enough to put my first mushroom coral in.

    Description:

    400L main tank
    60L sump (3 chambers with bubble traps)
    Hailea Return pump HX 8825
    Hailea T5HO fixture (4*39W 2 daylight 2 actinic blue)
    Bubble Magus C3+ Skimmer
    Jebao WP 25 wave maker
    Boyu C150 chiller
    20kg LR and 10kg DR
    Using API Phoszorb and Nitrazorb to stop the initial algal bloom.
    Seachem Aquavitro Salt
    Seachem Meridian Substrate. IMG_5790.JPG IMG_5915.JPG

    P.S I had just put the sand in so its cloudy. I have attached a picture with the lights on to give a better view of the tank. Its 30" high and 32" both sides.

    Sorry, the Sump is a total 130L. But the water level stays to 15", i.e 110L.
