Hi all, i have decided to start a thread and document my progress. A little history of my reefing escapedes till now. I starting liking marine fish when i saw them about 6 years ago. At that time, i got a new place and i felt, wouldnt it be nice to put one in the living room... and from then.. it took off With no experience watsoever, i took the giant leap, with no guidance, i make big big mistakes Biggest flaw was the tank. I went with a 7ft by 1ft by 2ft 4inch, my contractor basically just dump a glass tank in the living room. I had to do overflow myself and sump was so small that after a skimmer.. nothing else. Battling the all famous biggest 'disease' of a reefer - impatience. Wanting to have everything After 5 years...... I move again and with alittle more experience, i decided to build a really more solid tank and running a better system. After doing all measurements.. i decided to go bigger.. Tank dimensions: 3 side crystal glass 8ft x 3ft x 2ft 4inch (i like this height) with internal overflow Sump: 6ft x 2ft 3inch x 1.5ft Designed by victor iwarna with my own fussy input Total. 2378litres Equipments: (ordered buy yet to delivered) Skimmer: deltec sc3070s CR: geo CR1218 wz 20kg ARM calcium media mix with 4kg grotech magnesium media Filtration: 72kg marine pure block Zeovit filter (L) automatic (as i cant shake it everyday) Return pump: 2x reef octopus 16500 providing estimate 30000l/hr return Wavemaker: 2x rw20, 2x rw15 Chiller (my biggest worry) 9000btu compressor Lightings: 2x ati sunpower 3ft 4tube 2x ati sunpower 4ft 4tube 4x AI Hydra52 Live rocks about 100kg Livesand caribsea special grade 8packets ATO tunze osmolator 3155 Today is the day cabinet coming in.. *cross fingers* and hope murphy,s law dont visit me I will like to use this opportunity to thank a few people for helping to realise my dreams. 1. Victor iwarna for providing valuable setup advice 2. My friend alvin for helping me to install lightings and transporting my existing livestocks over 3. Big bro Larry for advising me on placement of LEDs and replying my pm really fast 4. A mysterious bro who doesnt want his name mentioned but very active in the forum. He is the one who has been providing superb and valuable advice, even using his free time on sat to chiong LFS with me from west to east to choose liverocks, without him my dream would not have been possible.

nice to see you bro welcome, if any questions i'm sure the gurus here can answer or point you in the right direction.
