Tank of the month: September 2020

ANGELO CURRAO

Hello to all my dear BallingMania friends, my name is Angelo and I am 30. The tank measures 120x60x60 cm and has a double overflow and an 80×40×45 cm sump housing a Bubble Magus 155 Pro skimmer modified with a Jebao 3000 pump. Water flow is handled by two Vortech MP40 pumps and a Hydor 4000 for the surface.
The triad is supplemented by an Aqua Medic Reef Doser EVO 4 dosing pump with ATI Essentials Pro Balling, which I will soon replace with Triton, which in my opinion is better because, as in my case, if calcium and magnesium are used up at different rates you can better manage any build-up of elements by having separate doses.
The lights I use are an ATI 8×54 T5 light unit with a hybrid section I customised with royal blue, green and cyan LEDs. I keep a Sohal, a Hepatus, a Zebrasoma flavescens, a Zebrasoma xanthurum and six Chromis. As corals I have a mix of SPS and LPS, and I manage to keep the system balanced with water changes every ten days, feeding the corals twice a week with Easy SPS Evo and amino acids, phyto from our dear friend Salvatore every evening, an efficient RO unit and the good advice received over the years from this splendid group, from the great Ciro and from Salvatore, who have always supported me and always made themselves available to me. The success of a tank lies in the ability to observe our tanks and in love for this magnificent world.

Go BallingMania, and thanks to everyone."
