Hi AT,
Can 3 ft tank ( main 3x2x2.5ft and sump 2.5x1.5x1.5ft) use the resun MD40 or MD55 as return pump? Will it be overpowered which causes high current flow in the tank?
Thanks.
Hi guys,
Thanks for your sincere advice.
I will reconsider the dimension of the tank again, may be 36" or less in depth.
Anyway, i will use 3 months to do a research on DSB, Sump, Refugium and IOS system.
Thanks again..
Hi typrobin,
Thanks for your advice and opinon.
IOS and sump is my second priority.
I have read a reef website said that a good DSB do not need any filter system, skimmer or change water for 3 ~5 years but it need about 6 to a year for the DSB system to work efficiently. So I intend to use Ehiem 2260 external filter to run first
I have space constraint and 4 ft tank is too big, so no choice stick to 3 ft la...
Hi Kalib,
The thickness may be 12mm~15mm but anyway , I will consult the tank maker first and get their advice.
I think it shouldn’t be a problem to make such a custom tank but what I afraid that the fish n coral can’t survive. I love marine creatures and do not want them to suffer so I wish to make it possible…
Come on dearest marine friends, i need your advice..
Hi ryn,
The height is 43 inches ! After deducted off the 8~10” DSB , it is only left 33++” in depth.
The water level will be targeted @ 30~33” only. I’ve no idea yet what type of coral to buy…but hard and soft coral is a must.
I'm also intend to buy chiller and Ehiem 2260 Canister Filter
.(The internal DSB act as a bio filter and the ehiem as mech filter la..)
What do you think? is it workable?
Thanks.
I'm a newbie in marine world and would like to set up a reef tank, please enlighten me if i'm wrong.. thanks
Do not know whether is it possible to set up a Reef tank that has the dimension of 36"x18"x43",with a 8~10" DSB?
Which type of lighting is suitable for such depth of tank ,.. T5 or MH(watt?).
Again . thanks in advance...
