Now.. lets see what's missing.. 1. Cabinet - checked. 2. pipings - checked. 3. skimmer - checked 4. return pump - checked 5. sump - checked. 6. lights - checked. 7. chiller - checked 8. additives - check... What else is missing?...

need some help here.. as you can see.. the connectors are too high.. like to know if there are L-shaped one around..?... where to get them... any help will be appreciated.... Thanks

Taking measurements for the piping that will take over the hoses....

Some trunking for the electrical cables.. safety first....

Yup. believed enough because of the depth (only 12").. 10mm enough and its euro braced. Used to run a tank with 8mm glass for a year.. ok also... as for the formulas and numbers... me not so technical.. . maybe i will know the answer if it crashed next time. but until then.. will have to keep fingers crossed... any bro/sis to comments?

Hint: better to have a male and female set for each ends of the pipes for unions.. Reason being if ever you need to change the configuration.... you'll just need to get 1 union instead of 2 (if you used a male-male config or female-female config).. Hope this helps

All the pipings fall in!!!!

Thanks Sis Ming for the Zoos.. i think my propagation tank will probably consists of "donations" from reefers.. maybe can donate back to "reefers" if they propagate successfully.. Sis Ming: the zoos are great.. polyps open this morning liao..

Thanks Mr CRABS.... appreciate it...

maybe should look for a wireless webcam now.. that can pan, tilt, etc... that way.. can still see while working.. talk about skiving at work.. hiak hiak hiak

A single rectangular cut....

QN: I'll be cutting a hole on my cabinet in order for pipings for the tank to link to the sump below. How should i cut the hole? .. a single rectangle, covering all four holes; or four separately holes bored each for individual pipe?.. Criteria: 1. Which method will be easier to plump subsequently? 2. Which will be easier to cut on the cabinet top? (I got tools for both methods).. Any recommendations? Thanks

The styrofoam base that the tank will sit on. The holes are marked on it so that i can pre-drill the returns and overflow on my cabinet b4 the tank is delivered.... it kinda thin... will it be enough to "cushion" and spread the weight?

The holes for the return drilled.. I'm using 3/4" for returns and 1 1/2" for overflow. Implementing Reef Central's Herbie method. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthre...mp&pagenumber=1

The edging of the tank... looks like good workmanship... hehhe :>

was at the tank maker's to make my presence felt.. (I'm 90kg.. hehehe :>) Tank was abt 60% done. Seems like i won't be getting the tank today as well (even though maker says "Jin Liang" - try his best...) Managed to sneak some pics though. 60% tank - 10mm thickness.

ARRGGHH!!!! tank maker told me earliest is Thursday!!!!.. AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Tank scheduled to come in this evening... tak boleh tahan liao!!!!... 9 hours more!!

Hi Bro, sorry to ask you something not about your sales.. Where did you get the valves circled? BTW.. are you selling only the piping circled?.. hahaha

Hi Bro, Thanks for the offer... I think I'll drop by your place with my pump.. cos pai seh.. need help gotta trouble you some more...My tank will only arrive Tuesday, I'll definitely invite you over when things are running.. can also look at your setup for inspiration..

yes.. glad that the info is helpful.. That the main purpose for this thread actually .. to hear any advises or to learn from fellow reefers.. had many ideas coming from your thread itself, Jervis.. BTW my H&S skimmer's aquabee pump has some problem starting up, sometimes can sometimes cannot (due to stopping reefing for 1 year) .. think its the greasing on the needle wheel.. anyone knows which kinda SAE/grease will be helpful (non toxic) or any bro knows how to service this?..

ah yes.. finally.. the pail that Bro Ah Boy T-Loan to me... ehhehe :>

another piece covered with coralline algae.. yum yum

Some are even covered with Coralline algae.. that y i quickly get them submerged as soon as i got home...

LR from Bro Ah Boy.. These are free. approx 20 kg... hiak hiak hiak.. thanks alot bro..
