Hello!

Just like to say hello, I've been reading all the great info on this site for a number of months so I thought it was about time to join rather than sneaking around.

My main hobby is Koi keeping but I've also been running a 120 UK gall marine system for 25 years, its fish only and not live rock as you guys do.

Its been running with a tunze system which was state of the art all of those years ago when I first set it up.

Anyway I'm going to close it down spring 2012, I have some building work taking place then but when thats all finished I'm going to set up a 80 UK gall Reef.

Hopefully if I get stuck you guys will help me out.

The reason I've stated a couple of time UK galls is I believe our Galls are bigger than US galls, UK holding 8pts.

And I do hope this hasn't been to boring!

 

Welcome to 3reef! Glad to see someone from across the pond

 

Thank You very much for the welcome.

 

Welcome! just out of curiosity, how do you run a tank with no lr?

 

Welcome! I'd love to see a 'show off your fish tank' thread with your 120. 8)

Welcome to 3reef.

 

The old Tunze system that I use consists of a row of modules that sit in the top of the tank, the first section consists of a powerful motor and 4 cartriges containing Tunze filter wool cartridges. (yes you can still buy them over here)

The water is drawn through the Cartridges and any fines removed, from there a small amount of water is piped to the next set of modules which are just 4 small trickle filters, I guess you would call them Wet/dry.

The last piece of equipment is a Tunze doc skimmer.

And thank you all for your welcome.

 

Awesome! I'd love to see some pictures!!!
