Mellow

<br /><br />Thanks Kakani for advice. Have already gotten my ATI sunmodule though. Only item not bought is the skimmer actually. Will see how the equipments fare along the way

<br /><br />Ho bro,<br /><br />My tank maker is Coral Reef Aquarium. Great service from Dan!<br /><br />Thanks guys. Hope I'll be able to update this thread regularly once tank is up

Hi bro, Yea, was contemplating brands like Newjet, Sicce and Eden but decided that I could easily buy 3 Hailea with just 1 of those more reputable ones which cost at least $200 and above. Power consumption is pretty important for me also. Newjet's power seems the lowest for the 4500 series at 50w but I saw that head lost at a height of 2m almost same as Hailea. Choosing of the pumps had been most headache too besides the skimmers. Haha. Eheim was out for me coz though reliable, I think it's quite expensive and also high power consumption. The Hailea pump is 70w. Hope I make the right decision on this.

Draft stages of my tank with tank maker. Wonderful service from him so far

Here's where the fish tank will be. Partition my sofa from the main door

Sorry guys. Don't really know why my fonts ended up that way in earlier post. Trying that again. Decided to start a new thread to document my new tank in progress. <br /><br />After 13 years in the hobby, finally having my own home and going to start everything anew with a partition tank. Over the years, I have been dosing and doing everything manually due to tight budget as a student, do hope to automate as much now and just enjoy the hobby with my wife. General specs in planning stages: Tank: 3 x 2 x 2 ft with 3 side crystal glass partition tank with external overflow, sump, kapo wood stand and full height white glossy cabinet Return pump: 4000l/hr Hailea 8840 Wave maker: Vortech MP40 Dosing: Bubble Magus 3 channel BM T-01 dosing pump (planning to just dose C Balance with occasional balling if required. Fluidised Reactor: got a second hand customised one for phosban or row aphis next time Chiller: Using compressor unit with titanium coil. I'm quite particular about trunking and my aircon ledge is quite some distance to my fish tank location, but luckily my interior designer managed to conceal all of them including my system 4 aircon trunking Lighting: ATI T5 8 x 39w. First time using T5 and hope it doesn't disappoint. Skimmer: undecided. Still contemplating on a Skimz Monster SM 161 or Deltec SC 1455 or Bubble Magus Curve 9. Any recommendations? I'm quite inclined to bubble magus due to its reviews and relatively cheaper price. Seems more hassle free too Livestock: Planned to have a mixed reef, with heavy bias for sps. Will need the Los or the softer flowing look though Set up plan:Probably gonna use sea water to fill my tank in initial stages an use some of the sand in my current 12g to seed the tank. Might try prodibio too and let it cycle for about a month.<br /><br />Kick start with some current home reno pics

PMed u.

Sms you already bro. Thanks!

Very nice scape you've got!!!

Roger that bro! Thanks for the good advice

Amazing tank and growth you have that as you document the growth over the years. Very nice indeed!

Hey bro, your tank is taking gape very nicely and certainly inspiring me with my new partition tank as well. Very nice set up you have!!! Anyway, just a question. I notice you only have 1 side access to your tank from top cabinet. Wouldn't that make tank maintenance such as placing corals, glass cleaning more difficult? Reef on bro!

Hi Gouldian, Thanks for the advice! I will check with my supplier on building a proper frame before mounting doors which can be accessed from front and back. I suppose you had issue for tank maintenance when you had the one-sided access door previously. Thanks bro and good weekend to you!

Hi guys, I'm finally moving to a new place and in the midst of starting a new 3x2x2 full height partition tank with 3 sided view. Can I check for those with partition tanks, I was told by the cabinet manufacturer that it is not recommended to have the top cabinet to be accessible (swing doors) both at the front and back. Is it true it will compromise the cabinet structure? If it is only accessible on 1 side, I foresee it will be nightmarish when I do tank maintenance such as cleaning the glass. I have seen some reefers' partition tank and a number only has access doors on one side. Appreciate any advice on this. I should be starting a new tank thread once work is in progress. Thanks guys and good reefing weekend ahead.

Hi bro, it's got some white spots, so I think better not sell to you though it's very fat and feeds on pellets quite greedily

All items reserved at the moment. Thanks!
