30kg Live Rocks, Rowaphos (with TLF reactor), biopellets and chaeto

Mixed reef (softies and LPS mainly)


Hectic morning, went to buy Live rocks and few packs of NSW. Tank haven't arrive yet.


started scaping. using 2 main big rocks and afew other smaller rocks. total 30kg used. should be settled for this




Tank arrived hours after settling for the scape. loving the shallow look!


Sump tank, due to cabinet's not meant for sump (reuse cabinet from freshwater set up), have to customise an empty tank to be my sump. using overflow box to send water down.


first time having a big rimless tank!


lights are hanged.


Right now waiting for silicon to fully cure, before testing tank with water. will then start scaping the rocks on monday (2 days later) and filling with salt mix and start cycling!

Thanks for viewing!
