It's all boil down to personal preferences and how you design you system to deal with it.

Wow.. got over 20 PM in less than a day.. Sorry for those which i couldn't reply cos it has been spitted into a few newbie / reefer whom just started the hobby..

Why giving up the hobby before starting ? if not it would definitely be a very nice setup !

Hi thomas, Yes, you are right i do encounter this issue as well in my old 4ft setup.. Had alot of problem shifting and rescarpping the rocks ect.. So i hope all the big rocks i got this time will minimize the shifting

I believe filter wool ( Mechnical filteration ) is not really necessary, unless you have descpline to clean / replace it regularly.. A good skimmer should be able to skim out all the waste, and if you go diving in the water you will see those floating particles around you as well in the natural environment ..

Hi, Got about one pail of spare rocks to give away after scapping for my new tank. Mostly medium and small size rocks, tonga branch but some with coraline algae growth on it.. Priority will be given to newbie in the forum or those which is starting up their first marine tank.. Collection will be during this weekend only in CCK. Please PM me if interested. thanks

they are a few ways you can save on spending on the live rocks, using partial dead rocks mixed with some quality live rocks or getting matured rocks from one of the reefer in the pasar malam section lor ...

Sure, think i will do so during the weekend.. currently fulfilling my duty serving the country these two week , haven;t got time to take more photos yet but will do so during the weekend..

In fact duncanl36 and Gheylord is the same person from his IP address.. Think bro dachkie is right, maybe he has nothing to do today..

i was away for 4 day as well and before i leave, i make sure that the skimmer cup is clean, water level is top up ( Or topping up some spare ) , and using a auto feeder with pallets foods will also helps to feed your fish. Best way of course is to get a friend to come over to look at your tank every two day, as you will never know what might happen..

Did all the topic has this same problem or ?? it shouldnt need any additional installation of java application in order to see this buttom.. i am wondering why too..

Yes, i did some oiling using WD40 to prevent the rust.. Hear that some reefer uses Nail painting apply to prevent rusty on the hinges as well..

Yes, that is what i am trying to do.. hide the pipe inside the tank with rocks and sand ..

yes.. definitely need more rocks , the other corner of the tank still look empty..

Wow.. Reddevils, Nice to see your updates on your tank again.. Cant wait to have these beautiful wrasse in my new tank too..

another view of the piping work to the skimmer.

Hi Marc, No problem, maybe keeping some LPS for a start and later going to SPS ? so did you make your fish tank with that guy ?

Top view of the two main pump, one as the main return and the ehiem powering the Artica 1/4 HP chiller.

this is the compartment i am talking about which help to divert the bubbles upward before it goes to the next compartment in the sump..

refugium compartmnt filled with Live sand, grade 0 and grade 1 sand..

Another photos of my finish piping.. 2 return and 2 50mm overflow piping at the side..

First FTS..

did some simple scaping at one end of the tank.. Think i need to get more Liverock for scaping.

finially got time to do some update.. Have added in some of the matured rocks which i get from reefer.. Undergoing cycling now since two week..
