thairun Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Hello, this is my first thread in this Forum. So how should I start? Hmm…………… ok then, I had started this insane and addictedhobby in year 2004. I had been introduced by my neighbor when bumped to himwith few packets of marine fishes namely what I can remember copperband, damseland a pair of nemo. Here where my enthusiast stroked and burned to own a marinetank. Cut grandmother story short came my 2footer then to 3ft. Then upgraded to4 footer X2 (dedicated FOWLR and Reef tank). Then come this tank 5X2.5X2.5 ft since the commissioned ofit in Feb year 2007. My journey in this 5footer is rough, every year I faced all kindsof mishap. Each make me standup stronger as a child just learned to walk. From equipments failed to technical and human errors. Each time I grow stronger. My tanks specs as in my signature share a 4feet sump to 4 tanks either DT then piped through wall in my fish-room ###### maid restroom the 2Xfrag tanks, 2ft cube (refuge) and ATS. It reflects all the equipment too, nothing else all 2nd hand junk. Enjoy! When the tank is in prime condition early this year - some macro shoot. Those are the memories I wish to documented in this thread before the new beginning Quote Mix reef-Main tank 3x2.5x2.5ftA TI 3ft 8tube Hitachi compressor unit 1HP 1 x AP- 702 Deltec 1 x Coral Lab CR with Ph controller; 1X AquaMedic Kalk Reactor top off Baby fish dosing kh/Sr&Kcl/mg DI water thru kalkwasser 1 x Skimz Fr with BRS gfo 2 x Rio 32hF main pump 1 x Pinpt Orp monitor 1 X Pinpt Ph monitor Aquamedic wave maker Sump 3x1.5ft plumbed together with; 1.5ft cube live rock Frag tank 5x1x1ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I told you my journey is up and down, those pics are the glories days when they at the optimum. I will post one day some pics where the black side of them Thanks anyway for your support, infacts with others also who especially comeby visit me to make this hobby sustainable in relation with the Singapore Power issue you know what I mean. There are actually more reason I rescape the tank beside looking the bored pile of rockscape year round. Last week with help of my buddy Cooperband (very hard working mate) I had done this back aching task taking out all the content of the tank. My main aim is to get rid of the starboard underlayed at the bottom of the tank. I believed this is the main culprit of my tank with super saturated nO3 which really hard to push down to nil. The Nitrate storage always hindered me getting good frags from others. It is true when I siphoned the tank at the end of the water disposal what I get is ½ pail of detritus. Chiselling the overgrown lime green monti This is the back-aching job Quote Mix reef-Main tank 3x2.5x2.5ftA TI 3ft 8tube Hitachi compressor unit 1HP 1 x AP- 702 Deltec 1 x Coral Lab CR with Ph controller; 1X AquaMedic Kalk Reactor top off Baby fish dosing kh/Sr&Kcl/mg DI water thru kalkwasser 1 x Skimz Fr with BRS gfo 2 x Rio 32hF main pump 1 x Pinpt Orp monitor 1 X Pinpt Ph monitor Aquamedic wave maker Sump 3x1.5ft plumbed together with; 1.5ft cube live rock Frag tank 5x1x1ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
