Hello all, I was a long time member here but it seems everything was reset a few years ago. I have been keeping fish for over 30 years and at one point had 7 tanks (than I got married). Now I have only 2 tanks.
160g Reef with a 120g display and a 40g sump. Hefty Marine Sources SDC1800E skimmer and 2x Radeon XR15 G4 and 2 x AI Hydra 32 lights. Low stock due to an aggressive pair of tomato clowns.
700g FW with 2 pond filters and 2 x FX6 filters. Tank is 9ft x 3.3ft x 2.5ft and 2 x 250L sumps. Currently home to a Malaysian 24k Golden cross back Arowana and a Red tailed shark (I have no idea how to catch it but it has survived a couple of years hiding and eating scraps) It was heavily planted with CO2 injection and Dosing etc. but lighting and heating leccy bills is forcing me to reconsider so thinking of moving to a native coldwater predator setup. I do not feed or intend to feed feeder fish.
Oh there is also a biorb with moss growing in it in the bedroom.

welcome back to the forum
Well the tank has all sumps and filters in the garage so I am hoping I will not need to cool it much except in the peak of summers. But I have solar panels so they will help with electricity consumption in summers but the pain had been in winters where a 2kw heater runs for almost 20 hours a day. I am keeping the FW and probably still keep it lightly planted.
