Nice photos taken!

JUICE MAKER! thats bad! will need to becareful of our friend moving around! should the tank be running normal before add it in? example, wave maker on etc?

i was thinking something like this is great! do they come in different color variety? Will need to keep everyone waiting while tank is cycling though. As much as i want to add stuffs. hahaha

Met all requirements for the criteria. However, i still think its safe after 4 weeks somehow, just a hard feeling. I was think of a RBTA. Would that be ok? Thanks for your valuable feedback.

The color contrast is nice!!!

Yea i understand the cycle. looking at 4-6 weeks. My bad for the mis communication. stating i finished 1 week already.

Hello! Good day! Manage to get some Salifert Test Kits as recommended. Some of them are out of stock. Also an update of my current tank situation. Water become clearer and looking carefully for any nasty stuffs which i have not much luck in finding other than the crab. 1 week done. Will do water test soon. Any recommendation of what stocks to be coming in? Fish first? Corals? How many fishes/corals to add in for a start? not planning more than 2-3 items into tank each week. Thank you

WELCOME! I am also new to this hobby too!

Hello to everyone! I manage to find a crab, not very sure if its good or bad. i took it out and put in a cup!

way to go bun! in the meantime of cycling i go around reading up!

Hello! Noted on the test kits! The pile of equipments feel like it have been lying around during Christmas 30 years ago! hahahaha The CO2 is customize.

My list of equipments as requested for now. will do a more detailed one in future. Tank 5x2x2ft Bracless Crystal 15mm all round Sump 4x1.5 using wool and bioballs EHEIM 1264 return pump SKIMZ SM251 SKIMZ FM150 [Zorb4] - feed with sicce 2100L pump SKIMZ BR100 [bio Pellet] SKIMZ CM152 [Aquafarm Reeflith][Magnesium Pro] Artica 1/3Hp chiller Vortech MP40 Wes x2 ATI SunPower 6x80w

Hello! I do not recall much noise to catch my attention but i think the return pump vibration is rather noisy.

Hi to everyone again! Here is the look of the scape while cycling. Still cloudy at the moment due to caribsea live sand added in. Here is also the system of water storage. Crystal Pro Ro/Di filtration to keep fresh RO water and salt mixed water for future use.

Hello! Will list my equipment later as i would be off for some work! Cheers!

Hello! Yes, i have already done so but i was too tired to update further.

Hello! We love ADA dont we? I dont know if it is considered an Iwagumi? You be the judge. Will update soon.

Hello! My filter medias and rocks are in after the prodibio. Will update a photo of the progress soon.

Hello James! I hope it would turn out well and also from everyone's support to follow up on this journal.

Hello! I just love seeing through the tank cleanly! minimal blockage!

Hello! Your next tank could be as modern as it would get! It is not finalised yet as i have made some other stuffs to store things etc. slowly taking my time

Hi Tofu! Good day to you! I am glad you are a big fan of ADA too. it made me went over board to have a shop full of ADA stuffs. Hahahaha Straight to SPS with some mix coral. I have ATI Sunpower ready. Not yet mounting as tank will be cycling.

Hello to everyone here @ SRC! Its great to join the salty side as i have always been into planted aquascaping! Feels great being an hobbyist once again! [is it true that if you have planted aquarium background, it would be much easier to get a hang of marine in no time?] I would like to leave a journal of my own here for keepsake and to share with everyone. Btw it is also my first time doing a marine tank. I have limited knowledge on this matter and i have read up quite a fair bit [Mostly from this forum] I have prepare almost most of the equipments more than a month ago and finally had some time to do it today. Tank Dimension: 5ft x 2ft x 2ft [i am a ADA inspired fan, thats why the tank is braceless all round crystal,low iron or what do we call this] Did the salt mix, PurReef Salt from AquaMarin /w 1 wave maker to stir it for a start. Added a very important live bacteria from PRODIBIO to do cycling. I would be signing off. Will update this thread soon.
