SRC Member TayHongSiang Posted February 25, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted February 25, 2010 i think u need to supplement yr lightings with T5...dun think is enough with 2 230W maxspect...in terms of the length to cover 6ft end-to-end. Return power of 16,000 l/hr, sounds scary... Sump tank thickness, i would suggest 10mm - 12mm instead of 8mm..considering the amt of water and the vibrations caused by the return pump...to be on a safe side.

SRC Member [V]tEc Posted February 25, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted February 25, 2010 for a tank this big, ur chiller is not going to be able to support...better to get those aircon unit....even for my 4ft, this chiller take a long time to chill down to 1 degree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo77 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 it depends on how old is your unit(standard used to build flat) and my friend who decommed his 6ft was asked to dismantle during valuation check as it is not approved. Anyway, at times, no risk no gain. Life is short, play hard. Envy you for a big tank. Yr fishes will be very happy. : ) for what i have find out from a lot of people that 6ft by 2 by 2.5 still can as it hold less than a tone of water but must be place near a beam of the structre Quote Tank : 4 X 2 X 2 with low iron front panel and external overflow Skimmer : BK SM200 with waste collector Return Pumps : Red Dragon 6m3 and Ehiem 1262 FR : 2 X Deltec 509 & powered by AB2000 Nitrate Filter : Deltec NF 509 and tee off from AB2000 Calcium R'tor : Deltec PF 501 with RM secondary chamber Kalkwasser R'tor : Deltec KM500 Chiller : Pansonic 1 HP Compressor with 20m titanium Coil Wave Makers : 4 X Tunze 6055 with 7096 & Vortec MP40w Controller : GHL Profilux Lighting : ATI Powermodule 10 or 8 tubes Water Top-up : Water Top-Up tank powered by Tunze Osmolator External Monitor : American Pinpoint pH and Temp.

What I understand salt water will havey than fresh water ( Fresh water 1l ~ 1 Kg ). You may need to consider weight of sump, cabinet and all equipment. I quite sure it will more than 1 ton. I did see tank. I think around 8 ft but it sit direct on beam. You may consider that. My tank is 5 x 2 x 2.5 I ask HDB for approval it take around 3 wks to get approved Quote Tank Spec : Display tank : 48" x 24" x 18."'(H) Sump tank : 25" x 23" x 18"(H) Return pump : Reef Octopus 8000 Wave Maker : Vortech MP10Wes Lighting : DIY LED (Cree led) 60 bulb Chiller : helia 55hs Skimmer : BM Curve 7 Controller : Reef Angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
