  1. Thanks guys. Anyway just an update on my ats incorporated sump. Been researching about ats and uas for weeks. In the end, decided to do a waterfall ats. If u noticed the first level of my first sump compartment is slunted. It is to put the plastic mesh to act as ats. I requested the bottom and top cover for that compartment to be black acrylic. Im gonna place a submersible led for the plastic mesh to grow the algae.
  2. Thanks guys for the pointers. So basically, water is last. But i think this time round must put water first?? Lan lan cos need to check for leakage and also im using my live rock from current setup. If wanna do scaping, not possible to let the live rock out of water for too long right? or issit ok to do so? I wud prefer no 2 if not for my live rock issue. Leong: i cant seem to go to ur message board. Do pm me. Naming of shops might get me into trouble with mods right? Ahakz.
  3. Just a random thought....for big tanks, how do u guys do the scaping? As in: 1) substrate then live rock then water or 2) live rock then substrate then water or 3) water then substrate then live rock read so many ways and got confused. I want the one that help the particles settle down and clear the water the fastest.
  4. The tank is a 322 with sump. Managed to get a reasonable price with good length of warranty against leaking. Overall service by tank maker: 9/10 Found some shabby silicone work after the setup upon close up inspection. The tank maker came down my place a few hours later to rectify it. Very very good service!! And all the while, never missed my phonecalls or stopped answering the many many questions i have. Workmanship: 7/10 As said earlier, the siliconc thing along all the perimeter of the tank plus the laminate for the cabinet a bit not there. Hee. But its my fault cos i never opt for abs trimming since i wanna cut costs. If can order again, confirm will ask for it. However, the cabinet is very very sturdy and well built (as tested by my 3 year old). They even gave me a soft closing cabinet door. Its a custom tank so i tried to be funny and incorporate a waterfall algae scrubber in the sump tank. Will update more about it later. Overall satisfaction with tank maker: 8/10
  5. My new tank was ordered in Nov but due to me being overseas for a few weeks in dec, only managed to get it delivered last week. This is one of the most expensive gifts i ever got for myself my whole life. Haha. But if not for the members here, i would have spent much much more while trying to learn the hobby.
  6. Just some final shots of my new tank before it is goin down. It is a 2x1.5x1.5 tank. Being an ios, the swimming space is made even smaller. My chromis has been with me the longest-3years and about 2.5-3inches each. Yup quite big (thats why need new tank) ahakz. Will be porting over everything except the live sand.
  7. Hi all, After 3 years if doing nano tanks (less than 20 gallons), im finally ready for the first big tank. Well not too big for some but considering current new hdb bto spaces, my new 322 is quite huge to me; esp my wifey . Nevertheless, i have been a silent reader in this forum that has lots and lots of info sharing from many shifus. I benefitted from thr knowledge attained here. Thank you so much guys. As a favour to all new reefers and to give back to the forum, im sharing this current new tank setup. Im goin to try my best to document the step by step. Its not only to allow you guys to learn from the potential mistakes i make but also for seniors here to advise me if i have been doing things wrong. Anyway, this forum is meant to help each other right. Hee. Thank you once again all. PS: mods, if this is in the wrong section please help to move to the right one ya. Newbie la. Sorry.
