Paul's Reef

Future Plans

I have been looking at upgrading to a bigger aquarium for some time but have been putting it off due to cost. However, I have recently moved house and now would be a great time to upgrade.

My current plans are to carry on using the Aquaforest probiotic method. I will be transferring most of the livestock from my current tanks but will be starting with new dry rock and sand. It will probably be a mixed reef but with a higher stocking level of fish. Currently, I have kept my fish stock low due to limited space and equipment choice.

Planned Equipment

• Nyos Opus 300 aquarium. Total system water volume 306 litres.
• 2 Ecotech Marine Radion XR15 G5 Pro LED lights.

• Initially my current Ecotech Marine Vortech MP10wQD propeller pumps.
• Eheim Jager 300 watt heater.

• Vivid Creative Aquatics Random Flow Generators.
