The reef has only
been running 1 1/2 months and already coralline has established on my cycled
base rock. Live rock import is illegal into New Zealand,although it is spreading from
the small amount of coral rock so far. |

The very small trickle
as it is basically a prefilter only with a pull out tray to exchange filter
wool. The rock is doing the work and i have pre-built tray racks to replace
the bio balls when the time is right. It also seems to even out spikes whilst
building up the reef in my relatively immature tank. |

A kalkwasser drip system
as replacement water (far left).An acrylic tube for other media (centre

I set up a nifty valve at the back which allows
redirection to either or both at once.I haven't received the cd since our
last mail but sure that it will arrive soon,looking forward to seeing if i
have been able to replicate some of the principals gleened from the faq
/advice sections of your excellent site. |

The tank has a rear full length spraybar and top bar at far left for surface
skimming. A raised eggcrate base(black).The circulation works fantastically
as you described!. |
