    For many years I had a few Freshwater tanks but always had the desire to get one day a Saltwater tank.
    Beginning 2007 I jumped into the adventure with a 34 gallon ”Red Sea Max” which I liked a lot.
    The RSM is still running today after a new setup I started in January 2008.
    After running this tank for many months I started looking for a bigger Tank and saw at my LFS an Oceanic 95 gallon Wave tank which immediately got my attention.
    Finally in August 2007 the tank was mine.
    My setup:
    • 95 gallon Oceanic Wave tank
    • 15 gallon sump
    • Coralife Turbo-Sea return pump (1090Gph)
    • Proclear Aquatic Systems sump (Pro 150 Wet / Dry). Ni Bio Balls.
    • Deltec Turbo Skimmer 1200 (in sump)
    • Reef Mania Kalkwasser reactor with Aqua Medic dosing pump SP3000
    • Current-USA Gamma UV-Sterilizer (runs for about 5-6 hours during the night)
    • CPR AquaFuge2 PS (Refugium 4.6 gallon)
    • 2 Hydor Koralia Nano (behind the LR at the bottom to keep those areas clear from debris)
    • 1 Hydor Koralia #4
    • 2 Hydor Koralia #2
    • 1 Hydor Koralia #1
    • Wavy Sea wave maker
    • Current-USA Prime Tower Chiller 1/3HP with a MAG 7 pump.
    • Outer Orbit HQI/T5HO:
      [*]2×150W 14,000K Phoenix HQI
      [*]4 SlimPaq T5HO Actinic 420nm & 460nm
      [*]9 Blue & 9 White Lunar Lights​
    • Phosban Reactor 150
    • Aqua Controller 2 with temp.,PH and ORP probe) connected to a PC for remote monitoring.
    • Aqua Medic Niveaumat top-off system
    • Coralife Pure-Flo II 4 stage RO/DI Unit 50 Gpd
    I am planning to setup a 250/300 gallon in summer.
    Here are a few of my better pics I took a while ago. More on my site: LINK

    If you like to know more just let me know
    Glad to be here

    First of all thank you all for the nice welcome's !!!!

    My Lemon Peel has been behaving very well. Never touched a coral. Guess as with most Angels it is a hit or miss.
