Today was suppose to mark a very special day for me.

This is the first time I am getting a brand new tank. Made just for me. All my previous & current tanks were pre-owned.

So it is with great anticipation that I waited for this day.

The tank set has arrived and I am waiting for curing of the piping BUT I am not celebrating.

Why? My brand new custom made cabinet was delivered damaged.

Should I turn a blind eye and curse my bad luck?

Hi bro, imo you can make claims against the tank maker either repair all the defects or demand a discount of the tank price if u can accept such defects. Btw, u should not have made full payment in this case. Have u?

Size : 48" x 24" x 24"
Return pump: 1 x Vectra S2, 1 x Eheim 1264

Hi all,

Thanks for the comments.

I hope you understand that it is not advantageous for me to discuss anything about my tank maker while we are in negotiations. Let us just say that they are being responsive and responsible at this time.

Since final verdict is still out, I prefer not indirectly inflict any damages to their reputation.

Update:

My cabinet was replaced with a newly made one but with slightly different specs.

The sump tank couldn't fit and had to be replaced too.

Dust has finally settled on the whole tank issue and cycling is in process.

Hope to start sharing more soon.

Really taking my time with this tank due to the earlier delay and current work commitments.

Some information on my setup.

Carrying on with my experiment with my 3 x 2 x 2.5 feet tank, the new tank will be skimmerless as well.

Current equipment list

Return pump ehiem 1262

Wave maker Jebao WP40

Chiller Hailea 300a with Dymax Ph1200

Chaeto light warm white led bulb

Lights: yet to be decided....

Old tank and cabinet set has been decommed and awaiting trash disposal....

To be continued...

Hi Kanegan, how do you maintain the nutrients level if you go skimmer less? Do you have a secret recipe to share? :)
