Bro how is the vertical extension plug ?

Good to use ?

[angmoh]

idle69 thanks for your suggest. I'm also thinking to place the extension outside the tank yet my 1-year old son is not reachable.. otherwise.. dangerous.. haha

[angmoh]

This is how it will look like..

The substrate.. mixture of caribsea live sand + ARM aragonite media

The heart of the system...


The chiller + exhaust fan to draw the air in.. the exhaust of the chiller will be placed facing an opening..

[Admiraltian]

Nice detailed planning there.

[fearnofish]

how is the progress so far bro?

[angmoh]

haha not much development bro.. now pending the tank delivery from my tank maker.. probably in another 1 or 2 weeks time...

have not decided on the lighting and wavemaker as well.. planning to visit aquarama this week and see how

[idle69]

I'm still waiting 4 my extension which is on de way from mars...u dun need 2 place it outside, but juz dun directly on top of the sump..how abt de side walls of de cabinet? About de exhaust fan, y draw air in? Y draw air out? Have u gone near a chiller when it's workin? I tink u should draw hot air out, unless u r using an cold air intake system...

[angmoh]

the heat discharge outlet will be placed facing the door, where it will have ventilation holes onto it. I'm thinking to draw some air in to ventilate the air circulation within the sump.

[angmoh]

just called the tank maker to follow up on the status. he said the materials just delivered to him today.. dunno how long hv to wait..

Finally!! Do u need help?

Hi idle69 thanks for your offer.. but i guess nothing much to work on. But you are welcomed to visit me

I will just let the tank filled with fresh water and treated with rowaphos / carbon and let it run for few days. Then add salt, sands and live rocks..

[Gouldian]
