Hi everyone,
It's the first time i'm building a reef. I am experimented with freshwater but i always dreamed of a reef.
I purchased the Red Sea Max 130D. I know it has serious limitations but with a Tunze nano stream 6025 and nano skimmer 9002 it runs smoothly. And with a cover mod it will be great. We are near freezing point here outdoors and temp is already a problem! I added 45 lbs of african liverock and 4" aragonite sand.
I will surely add an algae scrubber: (click the link)

I've read the 51 pages and was amazed! In my modest opinion, i can't not have this scrubber.
My reef is 29 days old now, and there's no words to describe what i see, it's 100x better than what i tought. I have two clams, about 1/2 inch each: they spread some sort of small black filters. my wife seen a tiny purple crab. I have many filter worms, their filters increase lightly in size over time. I seen many other lifeforms, it helps me to be patient.
I will soon add an ATO diy and a kalk reactor diy. My water parameters are stable except for dkh who tends to decrease, i'm waiting for calcium hydroxyde.
I will post some photos soon!
