Hi all

I am curently running a Dymax iq5 nano that is doing well but its just not quite big enough, and i am obsessed with sps and i wanted to be able have a go at keeping sps, So i am making a small upgrade to this and should give me the oppertunity to keep hard corals if i am happy that is stable enough, so this will be be my first venture into sps and i am looking foward to it.
So at the moment i currently have all the gear i need except i wanted to get a Hanna Calcium and Alk checker and also i still need a pump for my Phos reactor i was thinking of a Ehiem 600.Also still waiting on the tank, it has been ordered so hopefully not much longer

edit: when the tank arrives to i will fab something at work to hang the light off because i am only in a rental at the the moment in i dont think they would appreciate me putting holes in the ceiling.

I like this feature of the 9004 you can have the optical sensor for the osmolator on the back of the skimmer, which is handy because the 9004 draws water from the surface so the water level wont change


Thanks for looking, hopefully you all enjoy it as much as i will
