jackywongto Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 The same guy who fixed up my tank... very skilled and experience..... He was unhappy when I called him uncle though.... had to change and call him brother....lol Quote Eqpt: Deltec MCE 600, Tunze 6055 with Tunze 7091 controller, Artica 1/15 HP chiller, AquaIllumination Sol Blue LED Light System 2011 resolution : Do it simpler, better and in an easier way!

wilsontantw Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Iggy... here's what it is... Black colour cable trunking.. meant to keep wires neat and tidy.. just like what comycus has.. just that most shops don't have black, thus I bought them online.

SRC Member comycus Posted December 13, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted December 13, 2011 Some interesting features... hope you can use them in future... 1) anti-slam hinges.. 2) no more sharp corners... good for those with kids.. 3) sunroof.. close sunroof.. open Btw wanna ask about your standpipes. Do u have trouble with noise from your overflow? Ask this because durso is too slow for my overflow so no choice had to do the same thing as yours, sometimes get really noisy...

wilsontantw Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Comy... No issues with the stand pipe.. no noise, as i use 2 pipes and valves to control the speed of the overflow.

jackywongto Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Wilson, really nice set up. You should share more on the discussions u had with your reefing gurus, the thoughts put into conceptualizing the tank etc....... Can benefit the newbies a lot. Seen some recent set ups and the design and their lack of thoughts in planning the tank is rather evident.

Black colour cable trunking.. meant to keep wires neat and tidy.. just like what comycus has.. just that most shops don't have black, thus I bought them online. Now I'm jealous! How come I didn't see the black one in madpetz! Black would have been a better complement to our tank cabinet... Btw I suggest you get a mini saw to saw those cable trunking, it's really tough to cut them! Mine wasn't really well done actually... Would be good to have sandpaper to smoothen the edges after cutting too. Photos!!! Quote My old 3ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilsontantw Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 This scape is to be "refreshed" by a fellow good friend, who also scaped my other tank previously. More on that later.. Lesson 1: never put live rocks into freshly mixed saltmix... I did just that and ended up killing the "live rock".. along with a huge crab with the rocks.. within a few hours, got bad smell... and skimmer went crazy!!!

wilsontantw Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Upon advice from some senior reefers, decided to remove all water again, and this time, call lfs to deliver nsw. This turn out to be the right decision to speed up cycling! Size of a 1L rowa vs the tub.. I needed 3 of these... about 600L... cost: $150, I think. But the good thing is within 3days, I see pods, a lot, moving on glass walls.. Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it is open.

wilsontantw Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 This scape is to be "refreshed" by a fellow good friend, who also scaped my other tank previously. More on that later.. So once water is settled, got in the master - scaper for assistance.. he is shy boy, requested to remain silent.. to respect his privacy, I'll upload this instead.. And the end result is this... As of all tank scapes, fine tuning is a must - just ensure you leave some gap for working Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it is open.

wilsontantw Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 As your request bro.. BTW, I have to admit, some guys are just simply brilliant at scaping! ray is one example... Jacky wong, another... his tank can change scape every other week, if not day. This was another rejected scape... Remember this?? right side.. Left side.. Again, the scape was to change slightly to accommodate my pride and joy... "The Tree of Life". more about that later... Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute.
