Well I've eventually done it... I've registered on the b.b. :lol:
I have been accessing this board as a guest for a number of month and reading the many posts with interest. Eventually I decided not to keep my anonymity (actually I'm using the computer at work so kept shying away for registering). Anyway, I've gone and done it.
So what set up have you got? Well 6x2x2 reef system which is about 4-5 years old (prior to this kept fish only for about 10 - 12years).
Filteration - 36x15x16 sump with Reef Master (i) skimmer, trickle filter (it's going soon) and small wet section.
Lighting - 2 X 250 10'000k (1 Arkadia, 1 d-d) and 2 x 58W Arkadia Marine blues.
Water Return - 2 x 1060's, 1 through a 30W UV
Water Movement - 3 x maxijet 1200's on Syst.2000 wavemaker
Peristaltic pump (thank's works) adding calcium hydroxide on timer
Top up - Syst.2000
Parameters-
pH 8.1 - 8.2
Ca 420 - 430
KH about 8
Iodide 0.01
Nitrate 0 - Got the rampant caulerpa to thank for that :angry: ! (Racemosa + Taxiflia)
Problems - Other than the Caulerpa?, flatworms. Flatworms only took off when I started to add phyto. I've stopped the phyto.
Pictures? -- I've taken a couple and if someone can give me an idiots guide, I'll stick them on.
