Yup it will be good to switch on all 8 tube for 4-6hrs, the rest of the time, 2 tubes will be enough. depend on your scape if the whole rock scape is under the 8 tube then should be ok, if not just

Hi bro, swee swee man!

Btw, what chiller are you using?

Hi bro! Using Hailea 0.5hp Chiller, tested it and seems okay. Intending to set temp 26 to 27.5 degree once the corals r in but would need a temperature controller. Not sure if the shop at Sim Lim Tower, basement is still ard....much cheaper to get from there....

DIY light for cheato. Using a Philip 9W led 6700k bulb n bought a reflector at balestier. Left and right side of the baffle has black arcylic to prevent light spillage n avoid excessive algae growth.

the rock below the vortec might have problem placing corals, unless u going to run the wm at very low power. just my feel.

another thing to take note, is there enough space for your glass cleaner to go thur the rocks? It seems like the rocks are very very near to the glass.

Hi bro! The rock near the vortech is part of the scaping to create more caves for fishes. Not sure if any corals can withstand the wm frm that angle.

Yap, just nice for a flipper magnet cleaner to go thru. Very observant of u! Hehe

And some maxima or squamosa clams in the frnt will be nice. At least I won't keep focusing on the BB. Haha

That's another good idea to fill up a BB tank, lol.
