    Hi all :-D

    A little about my self :) I am 26 & have kept quite a few pets over the years. Pets from insects to rodents :) I now have a select few that I keep, them being a panther chameleon & rainbow boa constrictor. Now to the good stuff lol ;-)

    I set up my tropical tank roughly 1 1/2 years ago (I had kept them when younger) The trops have run with no problems at all since set up. Because of this success I started reading into marine :D

    Following all that I set up my tank marine tank roughly 7-8 months ago, the spec as follows :D

    I have a 60 x 24 x 18 Godiva tank with closed pelmet & 4 soft closing doors & a centre weir with twin stand pipes & a blue vinyl backing
    The sump is a 48 x 15 x 12. I am running a deep sand bed refugium with chaeto, calurpa & a red seaweed type algae that I will post pictures of at some point (it was an expensive eBay purchase listed as rare & a very small amount came that has slowly grown very well)
    I currently have 4x 54w T5s. 2 actinic & 2 18K power glows but am adding 2 more in the coming weeks a 10k & 14K to cover the spectrum & 2 red strip LED lights for night time viewing.
    I use a Ehiem 3000 return pump & the skimmer is a TMC 800.
    I recently added a TMC uv steriliser due to Ich :( no losses though :D
    I currently have 4 power heads but am thinking of dropping 2 & replacing with a polario 22000. At the moment they are 1 5,200lph & 3 3,000lph power heads. I run 1 300w Fluval E300 heater.
    Roughly 50 - 60 Kilos of live rock & I have quite a few fish, corals & invertebrates of all kinds.

    I think that's everything lol please feel free to ask questions :D I am still new to this lol

    Pleased to meet everyone :D
