Some interesting features... hope you can use them in future...

1) anti-slam hinges..

2) no more sharp corners... good for those with kids..

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...

Iggy... here's what it is...

1b688aa6-826f-6e80.jpg

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.

;)

cool!

one of the things reefers tend to overlook,

keeping wirings neat and tidy...

where is it gonna be?

in your cabinet?

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.

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.

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!!!

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..

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

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.

1b688aa6-ecc9-6988.jpg

This was another rejected scape...

1b688aa6-ed14-cbe8.jpg

Remember this??

1b688aa6-edab-dd49.jpg

right side..

1b688aa6-edde-2ae9.jpg

Left side..

Again, the scape was to change slightly to accommodate my pride and joy... "The Tree of Life".

more about that later...

      Decommissioning Sales of 5f Reef Tank

      After more than 14 years into this hobby, I am disheartened but to end this hobby. I have a 5ft tank that is controlled by APEX and Redsea controller. It is very complete in my opinion as I have a total of 10 doser, UV, water and leak sensor, water level monitoring, waterflow monitoring, AI HD lighting, dual return pump, Reefmat 1200, Nyos skimmer, external refugium tank, Trident KH, CA, Mg automatic tester, Vortech Wavemaker and many more. There are fish and coral hence I reckon I need to decom this in stages unless there is a kind soul to take everything at one go. One of my favourite fish is Achilles Tang. I will try to post more pictures and meanwhile, do PM me for more information. I would give priority to mass sales over individual item hence please understand.
