Think that’s the most convenient space available to house e controllers and still keep stuff hidden. At least there’s a wooden box to house the wires My current tank hor.. all e plugs and wires are in a mess and subjected to splashes and condensation from my sump tank! Guess most other tanks will suffer similar fate if their union fails, pipe leaks or fishes jump have to pray hard haha

Oh. Yup that’s e downside of a hooded tank. Upside is it’s neater, all concealed and there’s no glaring lights! the clearance is about the space in e photo

Cuz Ong lai huat!

Do u mean at the overflow?

Actually, the whole device has e booster pump built in. So can’t tell the sequence.. dunno the manual throw where liao

Wiring can be a mess! So another consideration was for a neat and organized controller board that allows easy access. So a compartment is set aside for this purpose..with e wire housing from madpetz, some screws, some 3M tape and nice looking controllers.. the final result is ...

Beautiful FTS. Let me know if u are keen to have e photo shared on @reefsg and pm me ur Instagram nick for credits!

Lol lol. Sure sure. After doing my bil tank, I also wanna move into landed and design a brand new tank!

Thanks!

Since water change is one of the most important husbandry of reef tank maintenance , one consideration that we had was to make the water change process extremely hassle free. as the house is rebuilt, we were able to install a drainage system right under the tank cabinet. This drainage pipe is estimated at a height to drain about 15-20% of the tank volume, an optimum amount for water change. It is controlled by a ball valve, once open, the water will flow down to the drainage as shown in e picture below.the RODI waste water tube is also connected to the drainage pipe! And yes the RODI is installed within the cabinet! this 5 stage RODI is powered by a booster pump and fills about 60-80 liters per hour! And it fills this built in mixer tank that can hold more than 20%. we installed a return pump and fixed a two way pipe to 1) mix the salt using the return pump circulation and 2) pump the water up back into display tank. so water change is just, drain the water with the drainage pipe, pour the salt into mixer tank, switch the valves to pump the water up to display tank. There you go, a water change process without pails! haha, love to hear your comments on this!

Haha yup. The arcs are beautiful and We bought the whole box for all 3 types Thanks! All e best for ur new tank too!

Gonna share abit more of the tank build first. From the photo, many of you can easily tell who did this tank. Anyway, It’s a divider tank that is hooded and with access to sump from both sides. Therefore enabling easy Maintainence of the sump tank. Some of you may also notice that even though it is a 5.5ft long tank, there isn’t any pillar at the middle of the cabinet frame to support the weight of the tank and prevent sagging. This is because the frame is an industrial grade metal frame that was custom made by the constructor who built the house. Which results in a full length access to the sump, satisfying both aesthetic and functional objectives! the tank has an additional side cabinet built in together and this side cabinet houses the salt mix tank.since the house is rebuilt, it meant that a water inlet was also installed within the side cabinet. Also attached a photo for illustrations of the tank after the doors are installed. Will share another big perk, in my next reply, of building a reef tank when the House is rebuilt

Hi Reefers! Starting a new tank thread for my brother in law’s new reef tank. Haha, never update my own but posting for his tank! Been helping him and my nephew with their tank design for the past months and it has finally materialized! It is currently cycling and here is the current shot. It is a 5.5x2x2 Feet divider tank, 3 sides view to separate the living room area from dining area. Basically the tank design is focused on easy Maintainence, which I will slowly illustrate the the various design considerations along the thread. The house has been rebuilt from scratch, so there are some interesting features that could be done. Here is the final tank design drawing. Tank is built by CRA, while the frame and cabinet is by the house ID and construction firm. stay tuned for more!
