Newbie from Greece - Reef-Geeks

Xenia · Newbie-Geek

Hello!
My name is Xenia and I am from Crete (an island in Greece). I'm new to the hobby. I just started my first reef tank. It's 40 gallons. I'm very happy to be here!

Xenia!!!

Tell us a little more about your setup, or you can show us cause...

Welcome to the site!!! We're very happy to have you here.

I would love to see some pics though!!!

Xenia · Newbie-Geek

It's still just the live rock and the aragonite, but here it is:

Welcome! Your tank looks like it's off to a good start!

Xenia · Newbie-Geek

Thanks a lot! We' re just waiting for it to cycle so that we can start adding fishes.

Glad to have you on board!!

rgrking · Spawning

That rock looks great! I like the layout.

Pat B · Geektacular

I like the look too. Nice and open, but lots of space for coral down the road.

What do you use for filtration??

donkey · Big-Geek

Looking good mate

Xenia · Newbie-Geek

Thank you all!
For filtration we use the biological tank's filter and skimmer. Later on, we will use just the rock for biological filtration and the new skimmer (when we decide which one we'll get).

Are they the Sicce PowerHeads your using

LeviT · 2yr vet

How big is the tank?

Xenia · Newbie-Geek

Thank you again

@donkey
Yes. One produces 4500lt/h and the other 3000lt/h.
@LeviT
The tank is 40 gallons.

Are you using them with the Sicce WaveMaker

Very nice! I don't think I have ever seen a cycling tank look that clean. Based on your crab post, you won't have to wait too long. Seems like good healthy rock.

No, I don't. Is it any good donkey?

Thank you dbrann11! I'm a bit concern though 'cause there is still no nitrite.

From what I'm seeing they look very good and the price is not to bad as well

You mean the price over there :P You wouldn't believe how expensive is everything here! I'll try to find it on e-bay though.

Over here you can pick them up for about £60
