1/3 for yr tank.....can go super sps liao.....hehe

not at yr door step huh....lol...thought can go rob things....

lol. show us the pump.....lol

ya....depending on the stock and shipment.....

trying to find your chervon ....instead found a clown tang in your posting..... 6 ich magnets in your tank. Do becareful but certainly hope the best for you.

for nano, i think prizm does deliver but for your tank, maybe something higher capacity. look at the second hand market to source for good and cheap skimmer. all the best.

bro, call victor up to ask him..if he cannot answer...ask for refund.....lol.

good research...can see you have been reading and learning.....will try to answer yr queries but please take as reference...as i am new also.... 1) Firstly can this tank be converted into a sumpless SW tank? the filtration system can remain. bro rayman was using this setup also. a good choice skimmer as it will not take up yr tank space. you can either use the chamber in mce600 or use the space in your compartment, using media bag. 2) If I have enough LRs, does that mean I don't need anymore bio filtration? and how much is enough LR? based on the normal convention of 1 and a half pounds per gallon of water is a good guage? For live rock, it depends on your scaping and you can add some in the compartment to act as bio filtration. However, 2 school of thoughts...can help in denitrifying or act as time bomb..... 3) How do I work out the flow rate needed for the return pump? absolutely clueless on what pump to get... maybe I can get those Hydor ones... can adjust the flowrate? Think work on 2000 or 2000i pump, especially you intend to run a chiller....the elbow joint, etc will reduce the flowrate.... 4) If i get a chiller, how will it be connected to this setup? Can I just depend on 1 main pump to do everything? or do I need to get 1 pump for chiller, another for return? in your return compartment, use a pump to pump water thr chiller then back to you tank. Good to have 2 returns but due to space constraint, you are likely to stick to one.... 5) If I keep a sand bed, it will totally cover the small opening at the bottom in the outer glass pane in chamber 1. Will that pose a problem? (as in will i end up with sand floating into the filter chamber?) you might want to use mesh or silicon to cover the opening....if you using bare bottem,....should be alright but still need to cover up to prevent livestocks from going into it... 6) Should I get 2 uber nano wave makers or 1 bigger wave maker? Prob only need 15-20x circulation, so thinking of getting either the Tunze 6025 (rated 2500L/hr which gives me ard 17x) or 2 Hydor Koralia 1 (rated 1500L/hr ea which gives me 20x) can always try one and add on if necessary..... I intend to keep fishes, softies and prob LPS, think there is enough to play ard w/o going into SPS So to recap, here are the list of items I'm intending to beg, borrow, steal (ahem i mean buy) for this system, Do give me your recommendations/suggestions/advice? Shopping List 1) 25-30kg of LR - go iwarna or t95..... 2) Sand bed of 1" (Or should I go for a DSB?) - DSB you will need 5 to 6 inches....as your tank is around 1.5, you may want to give this a miss... 3) 3 ft Illummax Pro 4 x 39W (dang they just raised the price zzz) - you can look for second hand or diy... 4) Deltec MCE 600 - go reefdepot at shunfu estate 5) Rowaphos for the media chamber in MCE 600 (enough space to put?) - you can get a media bag to put in the skimmer or buy the media box for mce600 6) Some sort of filtration media to put into chamber 1 (help anyone?) - biohome, chemipure, carbon, etc. 7) Return pump + Chiller pump? (thinking of either Hydor or Eheim, any recommendations?) - eheim is a reliable pump..... 8) Hailea HC 150 1/10 Chiller - should be ok..... 9) Tunze 6025 or 2 x Hydor Koralia 1? - i will go for tunze cos the neck for hydor seems fragile.... 10) Refractometer - easily available in lfs....or see second hand.... 11) PH Meter - same as item 10 12) Test Kits for Ammonia, Nitrates, Nitrites, Phosphate (will get the rest later...)......got others....good to test but think some of us didnt test ..... 13) Themormeter ... same as item 10 14) Auto timer plug for lights (anyone knows where to get these cheap?) - think ntuc got sell those cheaper one.....go sim lim tower... 15) Tropic Marin Salt - good salt to start with... all the best bro.

bro, try different placement to achieve wavebox effect. For anemoes, they dont like wave......GSP and xenia still ok.....not too many corals...hence still ok to use both...once you put in more other LPS and if you encounter problem...you may have to sacrifice one.....if you selling....can also inform me....lol.

go coral farm and get one big and one small. Ratio of their size should be 1:2 to 1:3. Choose an aggressive small one. Likely to pair up.

there are controllable.....depending on what you keepp...full sps...i think good...for lps....may pose a problem but if you reduce the flow, may not be that bad. try one and if you think no enough...then go for second one....

for furan 2, use with care as it is carcinogenic. ... meaning can cause cancer.....

Looking for the above. pls pm me if you have any. Thanks.

so you were the guy in yellow shirt? Glad you got a good deal. Reef on. : )

yo bro peacemaker, the blue zoas are likely to be available....selling by per polyps.....blue face with yellow or green skirting.....fiji zoas also available......mixed zoas.....got sunflower, dragon eye...also got lookalike tangerine zoa?.....best is your go down check it out... for the ric....my understanding from those went there early......the colour is more or less the same....got some yellow one but not many.....

almost the same capacity except that 851 is tall and slim and 701 is fat and short. 701 came in later due to constraint in sump or cabinet for the 851. Both can be in or out sump. Using ehiem needle wheel. Hope this help.
