Day One

The Empty Build

Before the corals, before the fish. Equipment exposed, scape locked in, plumbing dialled — the foundation of every healthy reef.

Use the tabs above to explore each category of equipment, dosing, and consumables that go into Atlantis.

01 · Display

Tank, Scape & Substrate

Open 36" footprint with line of sight from every angle. Dry rock structure backed with Vastocean side rocks, seeded with live rock for biology.

03 · Flow

Return, Circulation & ATO

Single Tunze nano powerhead for internal flow tuned to LPS-friendly broad movement, on a Jebao DCT return.

04 · Lighting

Spectrum & Coverage

Two Illumagic Mini X over a 36" mount with the proprietary shade — clean photographic look from every angle.

05 · Temp Control

Temp Control

Bangkok ambient runs warm, so chillers do the work; heater only kicks in on cold-snap nights. Target 25–26 °C.

06 · Filtration

Mechanical, Biological & Chemical

A textbook three-stage approach. Sponge & cotton catch detritus, Maxspect bio block + seeded rock handle biology, Fauna Marin polishes the water.

Chemical — Fauna Marin Multi Filter
