hey hey hey.... Dun forget abt me... i'm at 403A... hp: 9188 3690 Whoa.. all so nearby.....

more pics pics pics... can;t wait to see more new setup.....

hey bro kenneth, You tank is just fabulous... you free this weekend or fri night? Can go over to see your tank?? I am planning for something like yours... you cannot reject cos my place should be within 10min of yours......

bro sam999 for your encouragement...

hey bro, Would like to be next in line if some decided to back out. PM u my contact liao Thank you...

agree with chrisyew... i like the overhead bridge.. hehe.. the cave, i mean...

yes.. good... do post ur pics when u get it done... for sure, i bet yours will be interesting...

Thanks bro for your comment.... Heard of the benefits of refugium like reducing all those unwanted ammonia, nitrate, etc.. However, i am not very sure how far or how efficient it can go.. IMO, I think having a refugium will do no harm... i am trying to setup the tank based on this principle.. haha... sounds stupid though

Based on the Skimmer --> Refugium --> Return configuration, the author mentioned that it is not possible for every drop of water from the main tank to go through the skimmer to get into the refugium. For the Refugium --> Skimmer --> Return, the author state that the micro fauna are going to skimmed out of the water before they ever reached the main tank. However, IMO, using the same analoging he used for Skimmer --> Refugium --> Return, it would not be possible for all micro fauna to end up in the skimmer leh.. anyway, i will not want to take such chances.. luckily i have 2 output from the refugium. I am going to configure such that one of them bypass the skimmer. for your info, dude. It definitely helps. cheers

that a gd idea, bro... putting some cleanup crew in refugium... interesting.. As for skimmer, looking at the schuran jetskim 100. like the clear acrylic design.. u have any gd recommendation? No no.. shld not have ask u this Qs .. believe u will say Deltec. hehe.

Hey bro, My idea of the refugium is that they can reduce the ammonia, nitrate & phosphate concentration. I have no idea what other benefits they can produced. Care to share what u mean by "all the benifit of refugium will be wasted in the skimmer"?

Bro, i REALLY hope it work out fine.. haha... That is why i had not buy any lights, skimmer, etc....

Both my tank & cabinet are made seperately... Tank (12mm), refugium (12mm) & sump (6mm) all from Fish City.. their price quite reasonable.. For both the tank & refugium stand, i custom made them from a furniture shop. All made from solid teak wood... Putting all these together, i seriously do not know if this arrangement can work out fine. Theoretically, all the water flow direction and sump holding volume should be sufficient.. hehe.. Well, i will know the answer when i fill the tanks up.. If it don't, at least i can still use the tank stand as a display cabinet and the refugium stand as coffee table.. haha... That is the reason why i do not want to drill a hole for the overflow on the main tank stand... What a way to console myself...

bro, ur tank vvvery nice... i hope i can construct something like urs.

Bought this set from AM... hopefully can start refilling the tank next week...

Guess what i saw in my holding tank.... U guys would not believe it but luckily managed to capture a shot to show... Guess what >> A mushroom of 50cts size swallowing a worm.... looks like a python slowing a pig...

Opps.. forgot abt the attachment again....

Another pics of the output of the refugium to sump...

Damn it... took me half a day just to fixed these few simple joints... ... When i think back now, dun know why i took so long also... haha...

bro jervismum, the refugium will not be covered... cos i will be growing mangroves in that cube tank.... i really like the sight of those plants sticking out of the water...

Got them in M'sia when going over for holiday a few months back...

bro banacle, yes!! yes!! what u said make sense .... what flow rate of pump can be considered a powerful pump? Ehiem1260 fit into this category? or what is your suggestions?

Hey bro, [1] my current chiller is the resun CL280. Will be continuing to use it for the time being till i upgrade to a 1/5hp unit.. [2] Will be good if the return from the chiller can go directly back to tank also. Thanks man...

bro, very chim leh... can simplify abit anot? i ask you 1 question & u are asking me so many!!! Give me a few choices la... then i know what you are talking abt

bro, in your opinion, what brand & model will be considered a good pump for this setup? Do you mean after the tee off, i will have to returns? One direct from pump to main tank and the balance from tee off to chiller then to main tank? dun laugh at me for a seemingly no brainer Qs.. Just to make sure i understand you correctly...
