The magic has arrived and I am just too Happy to express it

saturday is coming people and so is the magic, my camera is locked and loaded, and my mind is about to explode cause of the beauty that it will bring!

noted, but as i said on the post for fishes not all on the list are gonna be there, besides i am getting my pair of black clowns and Picasso clown's on sat thats all for now the corals will come as well, we will see when Saturday comes. i had a lot of tries and errors before this tank, mostly fresh water. i maintained a small marine now its the big 4 ft tank! so no worries there but i will keep posting about progress, questions, and as well as found tips! so look forward for more posts!!!

this starfish i have no idea if its reef safe but doesn't seem harmful, looks cute and it came along with the live rocks i had put in. attached to the black back ground here is a close up. (its not clear i am sorry didn't have my G11 cannon with me at the time) Can anyone pls tell me what type of starfish is this? and is it reef safe???

ok here is the photos: Water is murky since i put the mineral mud in, but as you can see the skimmer is in and working nicely (had to clean it once since i have put it in and another time before the coral and fish come this week!) the jugs are for the magnesium , calcium and KH, bio pellets are at the back (next pic should show it.) This is a close up of the equipment This is a overall now as you can see i covered up the table top with some more wood to make it look better. The Radion Led Lights!!! programed it to natural settings and the blue is just marvel!

sorry for the wait folks i have the pictures now will post them today tank is up and running just rocks atm and some hitch hiker corals, plus a starfish!! he seems harmless but i am not too sure if he is reef safe

hey guys recived news that i will be getting my tank within this week! as well as the compressor will have photos when it gets here!

ok tank plans are here!!! Main Tank.pdf Main tank Sump tank initial drawing.pdf Sump tank

Desideia, well i decided on the Skimz Monzter cause of the space that i need in my cabinet. I have an amount of space that i have to work with, but yes i did look up the deltec skimmer seems good. But shootsimon and i have decided that the Skimz would do great. Thanks for the idea! And as for comycus, dont worry bro you aint confusing me! well i have the designs for the tank i'll post it in the next post for now i will try to answer your multitude of questions! ok.....herrrrm how we start this... XD 1) For sufficient work space for the maintenance we have already took that to account and measured the size and how my hands will fit to fix/clean the tank and other equipment, that was at the start of all things!! 2) the overflow will have to be internal but will be on the left hand side as you will see in the plans. 3) Hmmmm we are doing a black Acylic cover for overflow if i am not wrong, but will double check! 4) For the cabinet we are having it built by the carpenter which he will give me a sufficient ventilation and as well as the tank will just sit on the cabinet with a little bit of an edge just a bit, i will show these when the tank comes around! ok those i can answer for now....more will come in due time. But anyways i have my updated list of equipment!!! WOOOHOO!!! ) Main Return Pump Reef Octopus Water Blaster Website http://www.reefoctopus.com.au/v2/pub/products.cfm?range=5C376CD9-E651-8982-E10B6D863091BD0F 2) Skimz Skimmer Monster Series SM161 website: http://aquamarin.com.sg/productsDetail.asp?productid=1500 3) Two FR.

hey guys cheers for the helpful tips and for Eniram yes the window is closed for good what i'll do is you know how blinds can shoot light up or down yea? i'll be shooting it upwards hopefully decreasing the algae growth, and thanks for the tip i will remember to install the compressor when the cabin is good to go, for the people who are gonna bring the compressor i think its much more wise to install it and then put the tank up as well as put together makes more sense then putting the tank up then the compressor.

Ok! Comycus can i ask a question? is the ASM Protein skimmer from overseas? cause i will be finding it rather hard to do repairs if its overseas and any brokerages that may occur. Plus i do need to put the size to account. since i am adding some extras towards the equipment. I had a word with shootsimon and he hasn't herd about ASM being in singapore.

Hey Comycus, i am still looking at a list of things at the moment just doing my research ASM eh? thanks mate will have a look at that! for the equipment list i still have some checking to do, if you or anybody else can help with some good opinions that would be great!!! And the other thing is that i am currently looking for mid-high end range equipment. Cheers Ezio

Hey guys just came back from the meeting, we just confirmed the measurements plus the drilling of the holes for the chiller through the wall, power plugs, lightings etc. Now the fish tank maker as Raydiative has recently asked i have gotten the (Iwarna Aquafarm PTE LTD @ 70 Pasir Ris Drive 12, Farmway 3). They will be making my cabinet which will be at these measurements: cabinet L Shaped to fit area Length = 1210mm= 4ft Width= 450mm Hight- 950mm The Tank on the other hand will be Rimless like i have previously said and will have a black background. (in order to prevent light from causing Slime) it will be a 350L tank. ok here are the pictures of the area: The corner/area i will be putting the fish tank Front view full hight of tank and cabinet width of the Tank location of where the compressor/chiller will be at: just outside at the edge!! how nice! :3 Now looking at some protein skimmers i am looking at Skimz Monzter 2 i am deciding at the moment. So far so good now the tank maker said it will take 2 weeks for the cabinet and tank to come. As well as i you guys have any opinions, you know the glass is glued together by silicone, i have come to an agreement to choose a black colored silicone to prevent seeing the slime, unlike the clear ones where after awhile they just turn green. So guys your opinions please!

hey raydiative! yes i am meeting up with them @ 1.30pm today
