Hello People.
The names Mat, a new member here but not to marines, started around 15 yrs ago but a divorce put paid to that, now I'm living on my own I thought it was time to rekindle my love for salty water.
Currently cycling a 5x2 and a little over three weeks in, jeez things have changed since the last time where a lot was by trial and error, have spent many hours researching but I guess there will always be questions to ask if they cant be found.
I live in Newport south wales, 46 yrs young and at present sitting on my hands waiting for the levels to be right so I can start spending money usually allocated for something else.
As said above, tank is 5x2
Aqua medic sump
curve 7 skimmer
bubble magus phos reactor
vecton 400 uv
Aqualumi series 2 6x 80w
various wave makers
Tmc sediment filter
40kg of sand along with 10kg of live sand added and approx. 30kg of live rock as I'm not creating a reef wall more as three separate stacks with a lot of open tank space.
Fish stock will be low as I'm concentrating more on the coral.
As ive alreadt said im a good 10 to 15 yrs out of practice so a lot to catch up on.
