Good day, I have long dreamed of the sea, but have neverdared to do it, and now in the new home, a place for an aquarium was provided. This is my first experience with the sea, and kind people have helped me with advice. I custom-made the aquarium 2000*600*600, with three pumps - sow15 for circulation and jebao 10 for water movement. The lighting is LED, 500 watts, 6 channels, with a duration of 12 hours. In the sump, there are biospheres, an algae reactor (in anti-phase), a skimmer, and UV. I used Red Sea Coral Pro Salt for the initial setup, which I started at the beginning of this year. I launched it on live rock, live sand, and a little bit of bacteria, and it started up without much trouble (although I was warned about it). The water parameters are: KH 8, PO4 -0 (not detectable with Salifert), NO3 -5, Ca420, Mg 1360. The inhabitants include a sand bed of around 3cm, with 6 snails and 8 sand stars, which manage the cleaning. I use a Jebao WiFi dosing pump for Tropic Marine supplements, and I also add a bit of KH and CA, but I dose Mg more heavily compared to the others. I haven't yet learned how to take good photos, and the ones I've taken are sideways - they look fine on the computer, but not
