My dream tank by sam

I guess your sump will be very difficult to work with, anything you put in (if you managed to) will be very difficult to get it out

[Pacx]

Guess these are the constraint as I do not have much room to play with. We try to plan the skimmer and the filtration at the left hand side of the tank for easy weekly maintainance as there is slight more space.

Make a decision today to change the led lighting to the latest model ecoxotic 120w. Try to search for reviews over the Internet on this set but not much info on it. Hopefully I make the right decision ...

How are you going to house all those tons of salt? Nice setup. You may need to be a little careful on the power socket that is need the protein skimmer. Over the time, there will be salt deposits and this may be a risk...

I tot the buckets are ready NSW? Approx 40-50 he has there..one bucket maybe 23l... 40=920l... Correct boh? Haha

Depending on the height of your tank. Mine is a 2ft height so 50w is ok. If you have a 2.5 ft height go for the 120W

Week 1

Water cycling started for 1 week already. 2 more week to go! Nothing much to update as the lighting equipment have not arrive yet. Carpentary work will finish on Monday.

Attached a screenshot of the current progress

Week 1

First sign of color in the tank on the LR

Green

[desideria]

nice tank but did you consider using compressor? For the water volume and the position of your tank.. I think a compressor would cool down your tank in a much faster time frame

[Pacx]

Yes bro, the temperature is almost 32 celsius in the afternoon without activating the chiller. Getting the Aircon guy to come these 2 days to see how to run the trunking from the compressor to the tank .

Week 2

The carpentary and led lighting are up but one of the led lightings is not properly connected . cables for that led will be fixed next week

- 2 weeks of cycling of water went pass and 1 more week to go! Must get ready the fishes and coral to start packing their bags to move in:) hahaha

- Next week will be getting the Aircon guy to put the titanium coil to the sump area to hasten the chilling.

Attach a day shot and night shot of the tank

[Admiraltian]

The lighting seem kind of dim at the right hand corner of the picture. Nice scape by the way.

[Pacx]

Yup, the right hand side lighting is not working, will be up by next week. Sharp eye bro

[Admiraltian]

Oh I see, no wonder look kinda dark there.

Week 3

Aircon for the tank up and led lightning all up.

Waiting for the wallpaper to cover up the rough patches for next week.

*Using the Aircon chiller is much much faster than the conventional chiller

[Harlequinmania]

Good choice for running the compressor chiller. Did you have any air vendiation inside for your led?

Week 4

Hi bro

I leave some gap at the top of the featured wall for air ventilation for the lights.is that enough?

This week mark the end of the cycling cycle of the tank. Next, will be the 20% water change and starting to add some corals in. )

Hopefully 3 weeks of cycling is enough for the tank .
