pitto Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 yoyo! here's my humble 4ft setup, inherited this awesome tank from a fellow reefer 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 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! Meanwhile, here are my old setup for viewing pleasure.. It all started with this little devil... Which then evolved to a 2ft..
