Hi all, After 3 years if doing nano tanks (less than 20 gallons), im finally ready for the first big tank. Well not too big for some but considering current new hdb bto spaces, my new 322 is quite huge to me; esp my wifey . Nevertheless, i have been a silent reader in this forum that has lots and lots of info sharing from many shifus. I benefitted from thr knowledge attained here. Thank you so much guys. As a favour to all new reefers and to give back to the forum, im sharing this current new tank setup. Im goin to try my best to document the step by step. Its not only to allow you guys to learn from the potential mistakes i make but also for seniors here to advise me if i have been doing things wrong. Anyway, this forum is meant to help each other right. Hee. Thank you once again all. PS: mods, if this is in the wrong section please help to move to the right one ya. Newbie la. Sorry.

Hi, i just started a marine tank 2 months ago. Tank 1x1x1ft cube Fish - clownfish and dottyback Filter - hob with purigen only. Breeder box as refugium anf 1 diy bubble skimmer.

The tank is a 322 with sump. Managed to get a reasonable price with good length of warranty against leaking. Overall service by tank maker: 9/10 Found some shabby silicone work after the setup upon close up inspection. The tank maker came down my place a few hours later to rectify it. Very very good service!! And all the while, never missed my phonecalls or stopped answering the many many questions i have. Workmanship: 7/10 As said earlier, the siliconc thing along all the perimeter of the tank plus the laminate for the cabinet a bit not there. Hee. But its my fault cos i never opt for abs trimming since i wanna cut costs. If can order again, confirm will ask for it. However, the cabinet is very very sturdy and well built (as tested by my 3 year old). They even gave me a soft closing cabinet door. Its a custom tank so i tried to be funny and incorporate a waterfall algae scrubber in the sump tank. Will update more about it later. Overall satisfaction with tank maker: 8/10

Oh I mean the third fish picture.
