I wanted a refugium area and the sump tank was originally designed to have a wide compartment on the left and a narrow on in the middle. Currently I have some dead rocks and a basket of coral chips in there, but in the future might use it for chaeto and frags

Ya good idea. I might increase it to just below the 2nd bubble trap on the left so that the water from the refugium will flow over. However when I off the return pump and water flows back into the tank through the return piping before siphon break, the skimmer overflows quite fast because the return pump compartment n skimmer share the same water level... Increasing the return pump water level might make it worse. As the siphon break hole on the return piping is already quite high, would you guys suggest to lift the skimmer higher?

Pictures of my sump! The original owner designed it with wet/dry filter compartment, then skimmer compartment (1455 fits nicely). Then it flows into a small middle compartment and through 2 bubble trap to the left most compartment for return. I modified it for the return pump to be in the center compartment and left the left most compartment as a refugium area. Currently the return pump splits into 2. Right side goes back into tank, left side gets split into 2 again with 2 different output diameter. The larger output goes to chiller and it dumps back into the return pump compartment. The smaller output goes into Hydra, then into FR and is dumped into the refugium compartment. Return pump is set at 50% speed on the controller. Dosing pump is currently set as ATO to figure out what is my daily evaporation rate. Haven't start dosing KH/CA/MG yet but 5l bottles are on standby. Chiller is housed in a cheap Ikea coffee table and lightning power supply is also housed outside the cabinet. Chiller is about ~1ft from the wall for hot air to circulate out. The wavemaker power supply is also housed outside but is temporary and not mounted yet as I'm using a 12V supply. The original 24V is too strong. Am waiting for a variable power supply to arrive and will probably run at 18V. Some future changes that I might implement. The lightning power supply runs quite hot... am thinking of adding active cooling. The right side 'compartment' fits a 80mm computer fan just nice. I might lower the lighting fixture onto the tank edge instead of the hood, meaning it is closer to the tank surface thus reducing the intensity of the lightning and lowering the power requirement. From my observation it should be safe from the surface salt spray, need to monitor further. I'm also thinking of switching the wavemaker to the other side of the tank. The other side of the tank has overflow box and is near to the sliding door, so hardly view from that side of the tank. Might help with increasing flow in the tank without blowing the sand, need to test when new power supply is here. I made a mistake of not rinsing the rowaphos enough before running it and i'm still skimming rusty stuff out now... Would love to hear any feedback or suggestions on my setup. Thanks!

Hey guys I'm back after 5 years of break from reefing! Wifey gave thumbs up for a 4 x 2 x 2 at the balcony. This thread is to share my learning experience and for you guys to provide feedback and suggestions for me too. Lots to learn from everyone! =D Most of my equipment were sourced from this forum back in March. Very nice to meet some new and old friends and learn from their experiences. Some were bought from LFS, nice to visit these LFS again after so long. My equipment list as follow 4x2x2 12 inch tank w/ 3" sump and cabinet/hood Deltec 1455 Skimmer Jebao DCT 8000 OF Hydra Stream 3 TLF Phosban Reactor 150 Kamoer KSP-F03 Dosing Pump Arctica 1/5 Chiller Maxspect 300W R420r Jebao RW20 wavemaker Tank was filled with Red Sea Pro salt mix and RO/DI water on 26th March. Added 2 bags of CaribSea live sand and 40lb of CaribSea dry aragonite sand, 2 big live rocks from fellow reefer and many dead rocks. Dry/wet filter sump compartment also filled up with biohome, biohouse, marinepure rocks. Used Brightwell Aquatics Microbacter 7 to help seed bacteria. Also bought Prodibio Biokit but yet to dose. This is the resulting rockscape. Stay tuned for more updates! ato sold, thanks for all interest. Picture of dead rocks still avail. newspaper is straits tim

hey pm u about the chiller. have considered quite hard and am sincere... do reply when u get a chance. =D

Hi PM u my number. am interested thanks

Hi all, has been awhile since I'm back to this forum. been keeping my 5ft tank running for almost 4 yrs now with minimum LS and LPS due to limited time for hobby. the custom LED fixture that I made about 4 yrs ago has about 1/3 of its LED kaput. the casing itself is quite nicely made (alu) to cover the tank and accessing the LED inside should be easy. was previously thinking of going back T5 due to the stronger light intensity but doubt the interior of the casing has enough clearance for reflectors. suspect heat will also a problem anyway i am keen to replace the LED inside the casing, wondering which are the more reliable brands in the market these days that you guys are using. I need to do some research into the casing as well to see if they will fit. something like the strips that coral farm use to have in the display tanks in front should fit in just nice please help me bros, looking for any input.
