Exactly one month after filling, the ' marine aquarium its maturation proceeds with 6 hours of light of a single ATI T5 actinic blue spezial. I added a 10ina pounds of live sand "really alive", taken from the aquarium in fact disposal of an acquaintance, and just yesterday I put the 2 large live rock that you see in the picture, resting on PVC pipe (which will cover the sight with smaller rocks on top with coral soft).
And 'arrived in the aquarium also the first marine fish , the well-known Salarias fasciatus, bavosetta alghivora that was given to me by an acquaintance.
It was not my intention to enter fish through September, however, before the present ... so now swims in this semi-desert landscape!
In the first weekend I will test chemicals, since I have not yet ever made ... well hopefully. :-)

More items will be added soon to the system, has just landed the second pump movement Tunze 6025 (2500 l / h) and currently lacks imported mainly 2 things really:

  1. cabinet / box where you collect the strip 2 strips with 3 timers, because there is no room inside the cabinet plus any position would be dangerous, something could break off and end up in the water below SUMP. There are currently resting in a plastic box, inside there are, proved too small, unfortunately.
  2. automatic refilling system (osmocontroller): I have a level sensor in plastic baby, already used in my previous aquarium, I have to buy the plug "female" from the wall, build plexiglass holder, connect the wires and everything with Finally, the small pump sits in the compartment with the make-up water. Adjust the level so precise, a couple of tests and then salt and chemical levels will be even more stable.
    Next step to add a second level sensor in parallel to the first, in order to have 2 to adjust the minimum level in the sump (both must take to open the contact and starting the pump, in this way drastically decreases the possibility that the pump remains left too long in following the blockage of a sensor fouling, animals, or whatever). And for additional security, as soon as possible, add a third sensor which is not turning on the pump when filling the system is over the water in the compartment of purified water, while making light a bulb. This prevents the pump from burning when idling with the light ... and you are informed that no water in the compartment and must be filled!
