Cycle my biomedia in advance..

Welcome bro from NZ..nice reefing journey documented..that vlamingi u had got is beautiful yea hope to see more update from ur new setup..cheers n happy reefing

Things pondering in my mind...... Crystal or normal glass... Clear or black silicon... Dimension of the IOS (2 or 3 compartments & measurement between the divider)... Any advice or comment are greatly appreciated..

Wah bro..no need to put the ip cam so near ba..haha..how much is the ip cam?buy from? Anyway, nice reef tank..

Vibrant is a Algae killer..Haha

Want to see how effective is Vibrant..haha..it has proven to me that it is damn good..

Maxspect gyre is a good wavemaker..I m surprised that there is no sand storm yea haha..excited to see ur tank filled with SPS yea..

Order from Iwarna bro..

Ya bro no wc after started dosing Vibrant weekly..maybe wc this weekend then dose again yea

Wow..wont the flow b overkill..haha..

Look like a 60-90L nano tank avg evaporation rate using cooling fan is 1.5L/day..my pico is 1.5L/week..hmm As I using a old pump (used for my ATO donkey years ago) which is 500lph, flow rate shd not overflow the DT ba..haha..anyway, think if upsize can consider dc pump which can adjust yea..13cm by 11cm shd b able to house a 3000lph pump yea Agreed that nano tank space is premium..must have careful planning yea

Nice bro..i will try some simple SPS for fun too in the new tank..haha Ur tank is at a cooling place yea..ur cooling fan on 247? Nice pump with ard 15x turnover..think i need to upsize my pump yea..how big is ur return pipe? Thks

Nice reef tank bro DottyClown..did I see SPS in your tank?what is your water temp?what is your return pump flow rate? or any tank thread for us to learn?

2month old pico reef..have not wc for ard 3 weeks since started dosing Vibrant..I would highly recommend Vibrant as most of my algae were gone..although I wonder would it b the work of my few snails..

Oh ok..nice tank yea..set up a new tank in Australia For selling of tank, u can post SRC facebook too..or u can post on carousell..good luck in ur sales

Thks for the sharing..i think the design of the ios play a part oso..shall see how it goes yea will consult my tank maker about this too..overall the ATO shd b set at the return pump area so as to prevent it running dry..

Interesting sharing bro..i have yet to own a ios thus unable to share my experience but din know that cooling fan will cause DT water level to drop as my 5ft fowlr oso use fan at DT but water level constant and so is there a diff in sump n ios setup? Thanks bro DottyClown for those pointers..they are indeed helpful n worth a thought thru

Bro may I ask roughly how many cm of the water level above ur overflow? Thks

Ok bro..i think ios tank shd work like sump yea..meaning the DT level at overflow will b constant n water level will drop in the return pump due to evaporation..it will then suck air n blow bubbles into the DT..further no top up will result in no water to suck then DT level at overflow will drop..thus ATO will b rig up at the return pump compartment..still think of how to rig up using gravity concept after the tank is setup yea..

I plan for water level to b 3cm from the top..wonder 500lph pump is too strong or weak to overflow at 2cm ..haha As for evaporation rate, I will try to diy a ATO..for ios tank, i think the water level will drop at the last compartment where the return pump is n not at the overflow yea assuming the pump rate is constant yea.. thks for the advise

Hi all, as I m planning to set up a ios reef tank n so would like to seek some advise from experience reefers here..here is a simple draw to scale (1:10) sketch Its gg to b a LPS n zoas theme tank cool by fan..As using back my old stuffs, my return pump is 500lph which give a turnover rate of ard 7.6x..wavemaker will b a jebao wp25..biomedia will b 1000ml of siporax..liverocks will b from my pico n fowlr tanks.. Please feel free to comment ur views..cheers n thanks

Rip to ur 2 flame hawks yea.. Thks alot for the pics n explanation.. Bro, may I ask why u choose 2 compartments over more compartments like usual 3 in ur IOS? Issit becoz of ur cooling coil?

Haha bro..my water sg is 1.017 only..big Reef tank Difficult to maintain oso haha Gg to set up a nano reef soon..heez

Bro, fake or real? Haha

Price wise maybe u can contact Iwarna as they do delivery cum top up for u..there are different grade of NSW too..haha
