My new 2ft cube tank just arrived this morning from tank maker Yong Hua :yeah: !

I'll be biz for the couple days to setup and cycling my tank soon :ph34r:

For ANN cycling, I'll shorten it by transfering all my current RSM LR, add Natures Ocean Live Aragonite Sand and PRODIBIO BIOPTIM to the main tank.

Beside that, will be adding Iwarna.....BLACKSEALAB Premium “VolcanALive†Trace & BioSubstrate inside the Sump as Refugium and BioHome Plus to cultivate nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria to grow.

Tank Spec: 2x2x2ft 10mm EOF with sump

Kapok cabinet with self supplied Sugatsune stainless steel hinges :evil: .

Cabinet colour matching my house design :eyebrow: !

Equipment: Ehiem 1260 as return.

Vortech MP20 (Intend to add 1 more :ph34r: )

Deltec MCE 600

TLF FR with Rowaphos

Arctica 1/10 chiller powered by AB2000

RR pH and Temperature monitor device

DIY 22 SSC P4 LED lighting (12 PW and 10 RB) with Meanwell PS. (Half way thru' and projected to finish b4 end May)

Fish and coral : not yet decide but will transfer my current tank LS over first after ANN cycle.

Coool... Thinking of getting my tank from him too..

you can get quotation from many tank makers but end of the day...I'm sure you will look for him :pinch: .

Workmanship wise...I find it's reasonably OK with such a good pricing :whistle .

Cheer:)

Bro, very nice tank. I am just curious about the EOF. It seems that the water will be gushing down since the outlet is right at the bottom. Are you planning to put some media to reduce the water impact?

If I'm not wrong, the water will be gushing down whether IOF or EOF but I'm thinking use Acrylic plate to lead the water slowly down to the bottom inlet instead of pouring down lor.

Wolud like to hear from user or senior commment leh :rolleyes: .

bro... u can either install a durso... but try it out without and see if u can accept it.

I used to have a durso, but removed it. I'm running 1260 -> chiller -> main tank. Almost can't hear anything.

I'll try and hopefully have spare time to diy acrylic sheet with a shape like > to lead the water from top to bottom by next week.

The fan will be fixed on the top panel with acrylic bot and nut so it'll not get rusty.
