[slapper]

It's a 2 feet tank with No Sump.

Hi,,bro I like your Razor nano 120w do it mean for 2 feet tank and can your setting to the max input to 120w kindly pm where you bought and cost thinking of getting one thank you.

[reef garden]

Yes, you can set it to max and can get it from Dr Evil (Razali) from DeLightings, one of the sponsors here.

I'm using an Eheim AquaCompact60 and only recently realised that it is not made for a marine tank But since it has been working well, chose to ignore the fact. I like the compact size which no other canister filter is able to provide.

The HOB device is a RIO nano skimmer. Wouldnt say the best skimmer available but it certainly beats the dymax one that is designed for IQ5. This skimmer doubles up as a filter as well which i added some marine bio filter material to absorb harmful substances such as ammonia, metals etc.

Recently my water level suffered as I havent been paying much attention to the nitrate level. That's the peril of a nano tank but fortunately managed to arrest the situation in time to reduce loss of livestocks. I have no space for chaeto refugium and is dependant only on water changes and chemical buffer to remove nitrate and phosphate.

I have also recently installed a nano osmolator to auto top up water caused by high evapration rate of running 2 dymax vortex fan. It's a great investment cos it also allows me to chill my pail of water with ice bottles so the water that goes into the display tank will further cool the tank temperature.

Thank for sharing the infor bro so how your tank doing now may I know that your Rio nano skimmer on for 24 hours especially at night do it create any noise thank.

Please view the video of the current state of my tank. My skimmer is turned on 24/7 and it doesnt make a lot of noise. The noise comes from the Dymax Vortex Fans.

love your tank... your blower is blowing which direction? left to right or right to left?

Thanks bro. It is blowing from right to left however the reflection of the waves makes the corals sway towards the right.

[Keith khoo]

hi may i know what is the thing you put inside your external filter Eheim AquaCompact60? example ,filter,bio ring ,charcoal?

[slapper]

bio ring and some filter media.

Nice tank

[slapper]

thank you

Really nice setup...inspire to setup a nano tank

Thank you. A nano tank can be as satisfying as a big tank. Esp if you are able to achieve equilibrium-steady-state without the need of expensive equipments. Maintenance wise is not too time consuming too. Just remember to change 15-20% water once a week, add additives and water top-ups daily, and scrub the tank algae regularly.

bro ur not using chiller right, wht temp do u keep ur tank at??

cheers jack

Thank you for the kind words.

I am not using chiller. I'm using 2 dymax vortex fans during the day. Day time temp is about 28-29C. As i am home at night, the air-con will be turned on. This will cause a drop in temp to about 25-26C. The fans will caused fast evaporation that is why i'm using an osmolator to auto top-up the water so that water parameters will not fluctuate too wildly.

nice!

Just added my finale corals - two Aussie Scolymias

Also got myself a Rock Flower Anemone from the Caribbean

[Admiraltian]

Luv your scolys.

[Admiraltian]

If u r using led, careful with acclimatizing the scolys as they r pretty sensitive to led par. Try to shade them first before directly intro them to led spectrum.
