hi all...now planning my new tank...
main tank:
2ft cube
most likely to go for mixed reef,mainly SPS with some LPS...inspired by non other than DeepBlue...
with a few fishes, mostly small fishes like gobies and of course my dearest flame hawk...
sub tank:
3ft X 1ft X 1ft
might either go for FOWLR to keep some non reef safe fishes like lemonpeel angel or other worst reef nightmares...
if not will be switch into a holding(not quarantine) tank for new fishes and new corals...
sump:
3ft X 1ft X 1ft acrylic sump
will design it to fit a skimmer, fluidise reactor, calcium reactor and kalk reactor
wavemaker:both tanks will run on the same sump with only 1 return pump (rio 20HF)...
main tank will run with 2 X rio seio 820 (while awaiting 1100 to come into singapore)...sub tank will only have 1 rio seio 820 if not nothing at all...
lightings:
main tank will be using 1 X 250W 10kk + 2 X 24W actinic t5...
sub tank will be using 2 X 24W t5...trying to save electricity...
temperature control:
same as b4, will be using 2 X profantic fans to cool my tank..this time will probably get a chiller as well, to work as back up during warm seasons...
main reason y i will be using fans is to get the evaporation high enough for me to top up kalk...i dun think i can afford to run a CR anytime soon...this way, i can top up calcium and dkh manually,on top of kalk...
nutrient export:
will be building yet another spray eductor skimmer, will try to build it as large as possible...
dun think i will be running any refugium...too much trouble...
both tanks will not be using any DSB,just a thin layer of sand to make it look natural...
here's a peek into my new setup...
pls comment as much as possible..experts, non experts and newbies are all welcome!!!
