I did exactly the same with a 180 Rio for 3 years. Was a great simple reef, mainly softs with some lps but was so simply to keep happy. It doesn’t always have to be high tech and that taught me a lot!
@@nathanqwerty1 thanks, what light would you recommend for mainly LPS corals in the same size tank as this. Would something like the fluval 3.0 sea work or not? Just want a budget light that will work well but not cost the earth. Thanks in advance.
Looks great. How did you manage to fit the Juwel filter back in? I want to put my Juwel filter back in but not to sure how I’m going to do it with the tank full of fish and corals. I’m also thinking of putting my Juwel T5 light unit back on as I got much better coral colour and growth only thing I worry is the instant on or off sometimes seems to stress the fish, where as my Led unit ramps up and down slowly.
Just put a few blobs of silicone on both sides and stuck it back just like the factory, but the tank was empty, you could do the same just drain tank water right down, fish will soon get used to lights on and off all of a sudden, corals won’t care really
Much of a reef's life support systems are to get the coral based ecosystem off the ground. At this point your rock and existing livestock dominate the system and thus much of the things like skimmers are not needed.
Awesome, yeah I got the same set up. Same size tank with no skimmer and no sump 😀!! Just filter floss and back over flow. -keep it going mate 👍🏽

If that's bare-bones, I'll take it
Add 1 more fish and we'll see...
Na not going to do that, the reason for it being balanced is due to low bio load, there is a blue damsel in there as well
Come on when’s your next video, we love you.,,
Very soon buddy, got loads of news
