Dear all,

If you have the above tank, pls kindly post pics of it with all the additional mod that you had done.

Chiller,MH,FR,CR, Skimmer....how to install.

Would like to improve on the system. How you manage / keep the water parameters good beside water change. How do you keep the nitrate low?

cheers

Ben

If you're serious about keeping more than damsels, get a new tank. Seriously. That's what I did.

You tear down the whole of the atlantis tank?

no, got a tankmaker to make a new tank with the same dimensions but thicker glass and proper eurobracing, plus a hole in the bottom for the overflow to the sump. and also got a sump from the tankmaker.

added a whole lot of necessary equipment too - skimmer, chiller, T5 lights, fluidised reactor, UV steriliser. might get a calcium reactor but not just yet.

the old tank i am decommissioning and selling later on.

don't bother trying to drill a hole in your atlantis tank. it's not worth the risk, effort and cost since it is a really difficult and dangerous task if not done by experts with the proper tools. once cracked you have a useless piece of glass. better to custom make a new one to proper specs and sell off the old one.
