Good day to all. I am creating this topic to discuss the stages of launching a marine aquarium. I will use my own aquarium as an example. Yes, the aquarium is custom-made, measuring 150*50*60cm (L*H*W) with 10mm glass, front and sides are Optiwhite, and the seams are black as clear silicone tends to get covered in algae over time, but this is not noticeable on black. The stand is made of a wooden frame, covered with particleboard. The lighting consists of 2 metal halide lamps of 150W each, with a color temperature of 13000Kelvin, and two T5 lights of 54W each - one ATI Blue Plus and the other Aqua Medica 15K. The flow is provided by two Vortech MP40W pumps in the left corner and two Tunze pumps in the right corner. The heater is a Jager 300W. The overflow is a Herbie 32mm, with a return of 20mm. The circulation pump is a Jebao 4000. The automatic top-up is a Tunze. The rock used is 20kg of Dry Rock, 17kg of Live Rock, and 30kg of Cured Dry Rock. The salt used is Reef Crystals. The bacteria used is Prodibio Stop Amo. The aquarium was launched on
