Finally! New place...new tank!

[sherman]

The final look of the sump should be like this. But darn. My ATO doesn't work also. The ATO unit itself will light up, my pump works when connected separately but when it is connected via an adaptor to the ATO, it doesn't work. Tried the adaptor and it is also working leh. Will probably buy another adaptor in case the one I have doesn't

connect as well. Anyone knows here to get this kind of head which my ATO unit has? It has to connect to a 2 pin plug for the pumpImageUploadedByTapatalk1370877249.866013.jpg?

Finally got my ATI lights working. 2 reasons why it wasn't earlier. First was that the polarity was wrong. Orally forgot can change the polarity

with the small plug. Secondly, I changed the voltage as some BRPS suggested... And viola!!!

Mine works from voltage 4.5 onwards. Not sure if my hands are playing tricks, but I thought I felt the fan go faster as I turned the voltage higher? Will be adding liverocks next weekend! Exciting!

[Mellow]

Was referring to the ATI fans on the light set by the way

[digibee]

Hi; I often thought the light fan will only kick in if the light set hit certain degrees? No?

I think AI LED is like this; it is thermostat control;

Speed of the fan is base on how hot the unit is.

Good for you bro! Yes the fan goes faster with higher voltage and also becomes more audible.

Made a fan bra with a light mesh over the fan and another 2 drainer bowls over each of the fan. Hope that can trap the dust and keep the fan lasting longer

[Mellow]

The prawn to kick start things started to bloat up

[Mellow]

Shifted some of my existing additives and stuff over to my new place today

[Mellow]

First the bra for my fan on the ATI. Now pantyhose in the sump. I wonder why my wife thinks

Sneak peak of my almost finished home. Really regret choosing the colour of my living room curtain though. Shall live with it for now. Sighs..708554.jpg]

Lovely planning and nice write up.

This will be a template for a work model for me when I'm doing up my new place in a few years.

All the best to your setup.

Looking forward to your stocking up.

thanks Kaykay for the comments. Been a really enjoyable journey an hope it will be for u too when the time comes. Will place in live rocks next weekend. Just not update for the time being...

My nightmare begins this Wednesday when I get my liverocks from T95 and start with back breaking scaping. Really hope I can come up with something good

[Mellow]

Monday I mean. Anyway, just realised one part of my fish tabk cabinet laminate started to peel. Got Dan to help with it and he immediately responded. Thumbs up for service

[Mellow]

Finally rectified defects at home, including putting up a bronze mirror and guess what, curtains has been changed too coz my ID realise the earlier yellow curtains was different from what was chosen. I'll start posting pictures I my tank actual from Monday onwards liao once live rocks are in

Finally set up my vortech. This is my current configuration but I heard certain settings cause the vortech to wear and tear faster and also that the glass might not be able to handle the stress. Is anyone able to advice which mode is better for sps and also gentler on the hardware like the vortech and tank glass?

[Mellow]

Love the clean look of the vortech in tank. No more underwater camera looking device

[Mellow]

So far the bubble magus curve 7 skimmer is skimming light coloured green tea but pretty happy with performance, looking at the gunk on the neck, considering nothing is in the tank yet

[Mellow]

Decided not to mount the vortech controller but leave it lying on my shelf above the lights but secure the dry side wire in case dry side falls off. The ATI lights are really warm man considering I turned on only for half an hour and was standing in front of it while mounting the vortech.... Or maybe the weather is just insanely warm lately. have also set up all timers already. Left dosing pump to be set up

Good deal for live rocks at T95. $5 per kg. Bought a total of 16 kg of lie rocks today and started to plan my scaping in the floor first to prevent my back from breaking

[Mellow]

Toughest part abt partition tank scaping is to ensure it looks decents at all 3 sides. Not forgetting there has to be sufficient clearance for cleaning glass. So rocks were given at least 3 to 4 inches of sand all 3 sides

[Mellow]

Let them be life! This is the first of the two islands scaping that I really love when I saw some of the reefers tanks here. I'm hoping for this tank, I'll be able to see more sand and make it feel more open in general
