what type of schooling fish do u recommend? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

I dun really intend to go for sps but maybe can try putting a few inside. I have no idea about dosing at all. But the the supplier advice me to use the h2o sea salt to fill up and for water change will be good enough. Unless really over stocks with corals. I'm thinking of getting bigger fish like tangs at 1st. But he told me can get a few schools of small fish oso very nice. Oh no i'm having headache liao. Swaying here n there both way oso nice.

Yup i agree lighting is the most exp. i already have the lights so i will just use them 1st. if really not good then i will upgrade them dun wanna waste the existing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wah but this size buying equipments n stuff is a killer. Didnt think of that beforehand. When i went to buy them i got a shock out of my life. Lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It shd be enough as it was rated up to 500gal. My vol shd be about 300+gal. And its in my office so monday to fri with aircon on. On my previous tank the chiller seldom kick in on weekdays Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks. Its a 7ft x 2.5ft x 2.5ft tank. Intend to make it a mix reef tank. Had a BM C99 skimmer, Biopellet and filter socks only, 3 x 120w led light ordered from china. My sump only got 2 compartment so in case i want a refugium i can juz put in a container. Another is the return pump side. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Finally my old tank is remove and new tank came in. Final level adjustment Front view Installing piping Sump tank and a QT. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Bro check with the shop already u can't do that. as bio pellet gives out broken bio stuff if directly go into fr no good.

Thanks jamie for the clear explanation. But one contradicting things about using the bio pellets which u mention about is using bio pellet to remove NO3 but on the other hand u need to dose nitrate to make sure the redfield ratio is correct if not there will be problem controlling PO4. Qns is if that is the case y should we remove nitrate? I hv been reading thru quite a few forum,online articles there are successful stories of having ULN tank and high nutrients sps tanks. And i was looking thru those pics and i was thinking most of their tanks are full of corals and most pple saying corals need little NO3 and PO4, will it be the case because they have so much coral and the coral absorbs most of them and gave out different nutrients which reefers don't measure that made the tank thriving? Sorry if said something wrong i'm still very new in this hobby just wanna know more stuff which is unclear for me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

let me check it out with the shop.

Actually i got a few quote they quite pro and price oso the better 1 already and they will advice me what to look out for. i see, for the bracing. no idea whether it will block but my existing tank is ok so i think shd be no problem also. just afraid the beam will not be wide enough. but if so maybe i get a wider lens and diy myself

I don't think u can pair both with 1 flow but i believe if 1 pump flow is big enough it can serve both. Rowaphos output do not need to be near to skimmer ( correct me if i'm wrong) but bio pellet output yes.

My 1st Tank was 7ft x 1.5ft x 2.5ft come with a sump 2ft x 1ft x 2ft (12mm) with full height cabinet all made of plywood, NSW and some clown fish and chromis no LR at $8k. The new tank was quoted about $7k, removal and disposal of existing tank about $800 . Comes with kapor stucture full cabinet 7ft x 2.5ft x 2.5ft(15mm), a 4ft x 1.8ft x 1.5ft sump, a 1ft x 1.8ft x 1.5ft QT and all the wirings. I intend to hang up the lights so should not be a problem. Problem is i don't know if my existing light is big enough for my new tank.

Bro if there is space get a bigger width. I got a 7ft x 1.5ft x 2.5ft tank. Going to redo my to 2.5ft width after 3 mth. Width too small very hard to scape ur LR. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi guys anyone know what is it? Is it red dictyota algae? Getting more n more on the LR Thanks Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Bro ask u if go for bio pellets and rowaphos shd i run them while i cycle the tank? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Yup u r right it seem to look like 2 tank. And the overflow is facing the main door of my office and my bro really hate it. Nv do homework before doing the tank and this is the result. Learnt an expensive lesson. No chance to redo it. Also the width is 1.5ft only i got problem scaping it. I already had it rebuild into 2.5ft and overflow will be in 1 corner will be ready in 1 mth time. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Thanks for all the guide. I design the sump only 2 part. Part 1 i will go with bio pellet skimmer n rowaphos. If in any case i wanna have refugium or dsb i will juz get a small tank n submerge in. Then part 2 is the return pump. It will be a simple n flexible design. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Yup. They are very small. Gonna get bigger fish when the new tank is up. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

This is the existing tank Very empty nv stock up as wanna redo it to a bigger width and dun like the overflow design in the center which is facing my main door. Now at the stage of designing the sump for the new tank whether wanna put both reactor n FR in and with/without refugium. Headache. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
