yoyo!

here's my humble 4ft setup, inherited this awesome tank from a fellow reefer :thumbsup:

It's a 4x2x2.5(H) with full height cabinet with 3 sided view. Most likely it's gonna be LPS dominated tank, although initially was thinking to go fowlr.. can't bear to not put corals :upsidedown:

Well, tank has been cycling for 2 weeks for now, with NSW and matured rocks.. will test parameters soon to check if its ready!

right now equipment are just enough to kick start the cycle..trying to keep it simple.

Skimmer- Reef Octopus NW-150 (Gonna change to Skimz SM180)

Light- DE retrofit T5 4 x 54W

Return pump - 2x Eheim 1262

FR- still looking

W/M- 2x Sunsun101 atm.. looking at Vortech hehe

Here's the scape for now, may change a lil, feel abit too much rocks at the back.. pls give me ur views and feedback thanks!
