The DOC skimmer is not producing candy floss anymore, in fact is looks more like a wet skimming... prob my water is too clean already... what else are there to skim? (the DOC ask, lol). Well, it's both a good thing and a bad thing... mixed together. I've added a Chromis to add more load to the tank. Will start feeding these 2 days. Hopefully my DOC will get back to normal soon

Wow! I'm speecless... your tank took my breath away! I am a great fan of Anthias... the colour, the energy, the charisma... too bad I can't keep them as I have a very small tank setup. Well, I shall reserve it for my future tank upgrade

Hehe I can see you in most of the pics... wearing tie huh? So serious It's so nice to have a setup like this in the office and also no need chiller right? Do keep us updated with all upgrading

For price, check reefdepot. No need timer la, it comes with a very accurate thermostat. So whenever my water is higher than 29.1ºC, it will start the chiller (for 5-10 min) and bring it down to 28ºC. Coz I set it as 28ºC. Now no coral, so safe energy la. Just wanna try how this thing works. Overall, not too bad la. As I've mentioned earlier... it's a workhorse that looks like one too

Thanks bro! You guys really know me so well... "made in germany" lol Ok I found the product selling for $300 at eaquanature... looks reliable and up to its promises... and I'm the the Aqua Medic brand is not "play-play". What other bros think? Is it recommended for my kinda setup? Wow! Does it mean that I can carry more bioload in the future?

Oh dear I was telling myself that I already had too many equipments running for a Nano Cube. Well... my Nitrates is reading 100 and it has maintained that high for the last couple of days. It can be the cycle process (ending) but what is the sulphur denitrator all about? Do you have a good brand in mind? Do share with me the links. Are you currently running one? Yes I am well aware of the problem with Nitrates... the whole biological process sorta stop at Nitrates stage... it's always hard to get rid of them.

Percula is a real attraction... but I'm just afraid they don't do too well in strong current. Banggai too. But again, I might be wrong. Hehe, actually I already introduced my first LS today. It's a small lil' Green Chromis. He is enjoying the wave so much! And seems extremely healthy. So will not add anything this week for sure. Let the tank adjust to the new intro. And yes, definitely a Royal Gramma. The Caulerpa will stay for a while now, until the Nitrates is below 20. Currently still a bit on the high side. And yes, lesser maintenance for sure, I know me... that's why I spent on the equipments... Thanks for your thoughts Ancelot! Do call me whenever you need an update

So they are not so poisonous after all? I need your advise bro, what beginners fish I can keep that prefers strong current? The water flow in my tank is quite high, so must get suitable fishes.

Your Tangs cant possibly eat them coz they use toxic to protect themselves from being eaten. And I learned that they have a very strong rooting system, so removing them from rocks can be a nightmare! So gotto remove it sooner or later I think. Wasted $6 lol!

I'm sure your upgrade is money well spent... do let us know if you notice improvements in your tank Coz I am spending a lot of money hoping for a better environment for my new pets. Must be responsible mah, right?

Upzzz for you bro, good luck!

Just wondering what are the fishes that prefer/enjoy/can withstand strong water current? The water effect is in interval (push and pull) but still kinda strong for a small tank. Green Chromis for one, enjoys medium to strong surface current... any other fishes I should consider?

Agree with the other bros... your rockscapping rocks! Mine is totally different, with so little space to do rockscapping... so sad

Too bad then, but don't be sad Protein skimmer is a good to have but not a "must-have". Just rely on your life rocks and life sand for biological and be very selective when it comes to keeping corals lo. And try not to overstock, 5 - 6 fishes max will do, IMO. Note: I am a newbie (tank still cycling), so whatever I say, listen 50% only lah!

You are so cruel lah! 3 days enough lah! lol

The Teco RA240 is quite a workhorse... it works like a horse and looks like one too! lol Not very refine in apprearance and it's a tiny bit noisy too. But it's good for a 24g. Able to bring down 4ºC within 15 mins. Luckily my tank is still unstocked, or else the LS will surely get heart attack! lol Bought it from reefdepot.com.sg Go check out the promo price, they deliver the next day and the box is kinda huge, make sure your LFS delivers! lol

Can u show us your equipments? Just curious

Do you have a cover for your tank surface? I do not have one atm, thinking of custom making one using thick acrylic... do you think it is necessary? And how old is your tank?

You can try Tunze DOC Skimmer - 9002 You can find it at www.reefdepot.com.sg I think it might be able to fit into your tank (if your top is open). Perhaps put the skimmer on the left side, divert the water outlet more to the right to avoid the skimmer... but it will compromise on the aesthetics for sure Just like my JBJ Nano Cube... click my signature link to see my ugly looking modified Nano Cube!

Wow! A wall mounted. Do make sure the mounting can support all the extras u will be adding on along the way. I think your tank is a bit bare, just wondering how come Atlantis only supply you with so little rocks. Mind showing us the filter/back-of-house? Very curious, yeah I think you r the first

You bought those small frags from Reborn? How much u pay for those?

Oh and do take extra care of all the powerplugs. Splashes or floods can mean power disaster!!!

For a first, do consider a nice dark background... I think that will help the overall appeal IMO. I think u wasted quite a lot of space behind the rocks, why not push your rocks more to the back since your's is not a double-sided tank. I also think adding a taller peak will make your tank looks more complete (currently too much white on top), unless you are leaving space for some really gigantic coral. What's your set temperature? Do add LS slowly... I like your revised rock works with coral selections. Show us more

Godzilla are you from Malaysia? Coz u mentioned RM (ringgit malaysia). How's the reef keeping scene there? Your new rock formation is so much better. Do keep it up!!! Show us more pics. Just a suggestion... do consider upgrade your lighting too coz your watt/gallon is quite low. And a background for your tank? p.s.: I think your horses painting behind the tank rocks!

I agree with the bros, a 4ft tank full of Chaeto and capepods is going to be the envy of everyone... You have twice the water volume!!! Wow! You just need an overflow box (check out reefdepot.com.sg) a powerful pump and some solid plumbing work. You may also position your protein skimmer and what nots down there.
