It's been a long wait but this dream of mine is finally coming through! Having said that, I'm trying to do a documentation of my tank's ups and downs through this thread. I also hope to encourage people, irregardless whether young/old to be part of this hobby as I've realised that keeping aquariums seem to be a dying trend. Sad to say, in this time and age, the S.E.A aquarium is all that people know and I'm damn sure that this hobby can bring in so much more joy(than paying money to enter into a public aquarium). Times have changed and things are just not the same anymore I have been introduced to this hobby since way back in 2004 (after the Finding Nemo craze). It was after the visits to the various LFSes along Lavender Road, where Reborn and Paradiz Reef used to be that things started to get serious. Back then, there were lots of restriction and being a student meant that there were many things which I was subjected to, both financially and in terms of space. Now that I've moved to a new place and that I've stepped foot into the working world, I am finally able to fund myself both financially and independently on this hobby and decided to "get serious" and "learn from past mistakes". Anyway, here are the specs of the set up. Tank: 24x24x18 inches, 10mm glass thickness, 4-sided crystal glass tank Sump: 18 inches cube. Return Pump: Fluval Sea SP2 (running internally) Skimmer: JNS ConeS CO-1 Skimmer Chiller: HS-66A Lightings: Zetlight ZP3600 Having said that, I'm no expert in this hobby either and I hope to learn along the way and also willing to receive critiques from fellow hobbyists. All advice and inputs are welcome (Spammers, please steer clear of this thread) Thanks!

What is the size of the sohal ?kindly advice,thanks

My tank is 200L and I DIY my sumo and my overflow. No LFS carries ready made small sump of less than 3 ft. I used a 2ft acrylic tank for my sump. I bought some pre-cut acrylic sheets from a local hardware shop for about 20 bucks and siliconed them. There are many sump designs so you have to scour around external forums for the design. I'll try to take a picture of my sump for you if I have the time. My sump consists of a protein skimmer chamber, DSB chamber and a return pump chamber. My overflow is half inch grey PVC pipes and my return pump is 1500L/H. Nobody sells black PVC pipes so you'll need to paint them is you want it black and this sizing works fine for me. Hope the above will help you.

I don't think you can find them here. Probably you can try Henry's gourmet?

oops did i say "booby" ? i meant bubbly haha

It took me more than 1year to grow GSP on back wall. Bear in mind it takes a lot of time and effort to ensure the GSP stays off the rocks.
