Hello everyone! I am new to Singapore and looking to get a system built. I really appreciate any recommendations you may have for the following: Aquarium: Similar to the build quality and design of Redsea Reefer. The dimension of 36'' x 24'' x 24''. Crystal Clear / Starphire / Low Iron Glass, black overflow (in the tank, not in the back). Cabinet: This is where I am a bit picky. I am looking for solid wood finished in grey or expresso (not laminate). Contains two compartments with one for chiller and the other for the sump. Sump: Pretty standard, constant level skimmer chamber that can accommodate a Curve B10 Skimmer (16'' X 13'') Cabinet sample below. Thanks for your help!!!

Hi Guys. I've been a reefer before but its been more than 10 years since i last set up my tank. I just got my bought my house last year and after seeing this one gorgeous tank near to where i work i got instantly poisoned and it bring my passion for reefing back. Anyway to make it short im looking for setting up a tank now and im having some trouble deciding on some aspects even though ive already read and watched a lot of YT videos. Here are some of the questions. 1. Tank Size. Is there a big difference between 3ft and 4ft tank with the same width and height of 24"x18" in terms of maintenance, price, & water stability. I've only ask one Shop and it quoted me 700sgd for a 36"X24"X18" 10mm thick with a built in cabinet made of solid wood (laminated). is it a good price? 2. If i go for 3ft/4ft should i go for a sump? I want my tank to be as less maintenance as possible so ill probably only go for fish and a couple of easy to maintained corals ( i still have to do some research on this one) thats why im hesitating to get a sump even though most videos i've watched recommended it. 3. For my first buy besides for the tank/cabinet, a sump(if i decided to go), sand & rocks what are the most crucial items i should go first to start the curing. Im really excited to set this up. My target is to set up everything by the end of this month coz i want it up and running with LS before the december holidays. Thanks

Hello fellow reefers, My father has forced me to decommision my tank till renovation has completed. As such, I have to find a temporary home for my corals. Could any reefer help me house my corals till about January? I have freshwater dipped the zoas. There are two brain corals a few zoa frags and a radioactive birdnest frag. I live in woodlands. So it would be preferable to have a reefer in the north. Just leave me your price. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
