Looks more like sm201. Sent from my Android using Tapatalk2

[Hon]

That's right, it's a SM201. Bought it before I come to know of new model with DC pump.

[kksg2000]

My sump is very empty, hopefully can keep it this way in the long run. Maybe add a dosing pump if got spare cash and time to play around.

Bro, you have 2 drain pipes huh?

[Hon]

Ya.. Using 2x30mm drain pipe and 1x25mm return pipe.

[tropic]

Simple sump easier to maintain. With your two side door accessing the sump is a breeze. Once u fill up with reactors and hoses..not so empty already.. Sent from my Android using Tapatalk2

the return pump is waveline dc pump?

[Hon]

Yap.. Waveline DC5000. Running at max speed.

[Hon]

Can't stand the tank being empty with LR only, hence went shopping today.

Bought 2 clam, 1 hammer and 4 Nemo (Kids request for it. Guess what they are asking next. Where is Dolly...)

Not forgetting a stag on plug. Testing my luck keeping SPS without chiller.

How old is your tank?

[Evolutionz]

u cycle for only 5 days then added live stock bro?

[Hon]

Ha ha. Dont worry. I have done this before many times.

[Evolutionz]

U using fan to chill ur sps? Would be interesting to see if it can thrive in non chilled tank

[Hon]

That's what we call old bird.... Are those coraline on the tank bed?

[Kakani]

Like your rock scape very nice.

Yes. Old bird truly. (:

Cant wait to see the sps grow out. but bro, chiller lahh hahah

[Hon]

Those patches on the bottom tank are not coraline, my tank is only 12 days old. They are actually small debris that broke off from the LR.

Keeping fingers crossed that SPS can thrive in a non-chilled tank. Temp is hovering between 28.5 to 29 deg. No dosing pump, looks like no place to hook up as sump space is very limited. Still trying to read up what's the latest additive and recommended one. So many new brand on the market now. Please share if you know what is good for a mix tank. Thanks.

[Evolutionz]

U using fan?

[Hon]

Yes, using a computer box type fan, but in A/C supply, got it from Iwarna.

[Evolutionz]

How's ur evaporation rate? Currently my 34l tank. I have to top up at least 1l a day.. Making me want to get a chiller liao.

[Hon]

It's about 8-9 litres a day.

[wilsontantw]

Hon, good to see you back in the game! The setup looks impressive huh. Think it's slated for bigger things. Haha. Supposed to meet next week but I'll be out of town... so we lunch in 2 weeks time k?

[Hon]

Nothing much to update, took 3 shot to add into the journal.

Haven't update for a while. 3 weeks back added some LR, causes a mini-cycle and kill off my SPS plug. Change some water and regain back the parameter. Since then, added some more fishes and coral. Weather been hot, water temp has been hovering around 30 deg mark. Hopefully the coral can take it and thrive. Some pic of the tank as of today, haven't clean the glass yet thou....
