Yes, u need to adjust the spacer on the dry side according to the correct thickness of your tank's glass. If not the magnet won't be strong enough to hold on to the wet side.

Btw, need help.... Anyone know where I can find an Aquabee 2000/1 impeller? The impeller for my Aquabee pump running my CR just failed on me!

All pipings and electrical wirings are self made. I guess that's the whole joy and fun about setting up. It took me a good 2 weeks to have the flow pipes done!
What's even more rewarding is having everything work the way I planned it to be!


Funny, I'm only able to upload lower res pictures...

Had my load distribution assessed by a structural engineer. Condos are not built to withstand such weights. Had reinforcement steel bars drilled down into the concrete slab. That's why you see a raised platform!!

For those who plan such a tank, please always get someone to look at the structural integrity of your unit! HDB's and Condos are rated for ~200Kg/sqM

Looking good. Very generous with your unions and valves. Is there a distro there for these type of fittings?

Haha... Well, perhaps i'm a lill' careful. I planned the the pipings with the intention of flexibility. I need to have the option for change in future. N

Not really a trend here, in fact, many in MYS wouldn't have done what I have done.. I have yet to see a setup similar to mine...

The first thing out of their mouths when they saw my pipings were ... " what if they leak?!?! "...Well, my answer to them..... " it better not leak then! "

Do give me your opinion...

It took me a good 6 hours to fill the display tank and sump with unfiltered tap water!

N' that's how 10,000-12,000L/hr looks like in the overflow!! Tank maker made a minor mistake of cutting of the extra grooved part of the pipe connector. I'm unable to do the Durso Pipes! It sounded like a waterfall in the living room.

After 3 days of uneventful water test, water drained and begin the slow process of filling the tank up with RO/DI.
Eventhough it was rated at 400G/D.....wasn't even close..... It took me a total of 40 hours to fill up both DT and Sump!!!
Maybe I need a booster pump.

400G!

Oh my 天! Going to be exciting to see you stock up on the fishes (:

Anyway love your stance on running your own pipings because when shyt hits the fan, you know where to troubleshoot and amend the mistakes.

Thumbs up!

Happy Reefing,

Marc J.
