Just received the Calcium Chloride (CaCI), Magnesium Chloride (MgCI) and Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (NaHCO) for auto dosing.

it's becoz i'm setting up the tank in northern china.

9 months into this hobby, i decided to upgrade from my to a bigger, easier to manage tank. With advises from our helpful members thanks again everyone. Equipments 1. Tank 60x50x50 (cm) 8mm Glass, 150Litres 2. AI Prime Lighting 3. Reef Octopus Hang-On Skimmer BH-1000 (Pump - AQ1000S) 4. Bubble Magus Mini-80 Reactor (WP600 pump with ROWAphos and Carbon) 5. ⅓HP Chiller (奥凌恒业 China brand) 6. Eheim Pump 1101 (3000L/H) 7. Fluval E50 Heater 8. Vortech MP10WES (2nd hand) 9. LADIS 1200Watt UPS 10. ATS Algae Turf Scrubber 11. Kamoer Auto Doser Pump KSP-F04-A Planning to start the migration this weekend. Hopefully goes well using all the rocks and water from old tank.

What's the app you guys finds it handy when shopping for fish/corals at LFS? Anyone can share ur reviews?

Thanks PoorPicasso, Xiggie, Damianiac and Guccivera My final layout

you may have a point here. it's a 4cm drop, not sure will splash a not too.

sorry. the return pump was 3000L/H. thus every sec 0.83L The volume in the baffle plate can hold 1.56L and 1.365L. I'm correct here?

ok. Now i got it! Hopefully the upper inlet will flow now. My return pump was rated about 2000L/H

Makes sense now? the return pump compartment water level will drop only when water evaporate

u mean 1st compartment(skimmer) and 2nd compartment(Mech Filter) will have same water level? but my 2nd compartment was lower... can't be same water level right? the last baffle at return pump compartment was to prevent tiny bubble. you think it doesn't work?

i saw most ppl putting it at the first compartment in their sump. not sure why also had an overkill skimmer for it. hopefully it works fine. i'm actually most worried about the water level. Not totally confident the water level on my sketch in theory works the same.

Hi experts, I'm given a tank 60x50x50cm. As such i wish to DIY the back of it into 3 stage compartment for skimmer, mech filtration, return pump. Can anyone advise whether this layout will work?

i see. those 2 sps bleached while i'm away during CNY. it's actually an accident. including the 2 clown fish and fire clam. thanks for the tips

can share your views/tips?

yup. bigger size more X mah. LFS here willing to let u trade in..

i'm using this ato water tank.

lost some corals and fish after 2 weeks break on CNY. After upgrade to BH-1000, stuffed the heater in... but i have to add the ugly valve at the inlet to prevent back-flow got a blue tang for fun. gonna trade it in the LFS once it's too big.

reef octopus bh1000 not bad.

upgrade to reef octopus bh-1000.

i'm interest to know the rules for bring them to china.

anymore full tank shots?

should be fine. mine also 5mm glass

the clown fishes might be aggressive

looking good

great tips. thanks
