Jacks 422

[Jack 123456]

hey guys. this is my new 422. I bought it 2nd and and got it from chris. The tank arrived today at my house and looks great. sadly i wasn't able to get a shallow 4ft due to finical reasons since I'm only a kid. But anyway im really happy with this tank. i had my birthday party a couple of weeks back, and got some money from all my friends that went to making this tank happen. And im gonna stock pretty slowly cause i dont have much $$. Ill try update as much as i can, but probably most updates wont be anything special

cheers jack.

Good to see more people coming in to appreciate the beauty of marine aquarium keeping!

Wish you all the best in your setup!

and i spy a very deep tank... what lights are you intending to use? what are you planning to keep?

Nice tank bro...waiting to see your update...

Good start! Stocking slowly is the right way to go. Looks like a deep tank, same cabinet colour as one of mine. The doggie looks a bit curious but it's ok, his or her new buddies.

ok, thanks for all the kind comments.

[Jack 123456]

the skimmer is A hydor, not sure what model, i plan to keep spa but lps too

equipments look good! 8 tube would be perfect for a full sps tank.

nice choice of lighting, how are you going to hang it? i dont see no ceiling...lol think it is possible to mount it but is the coverage wide enough?

[Jack 123456]

so for the lights im gonna hang to the ceiling even though its pretty high, yes the coverage is more than enough. so far ive got DE lightings 8tube, Hydor skimmer, Haliea return, eventually thinking of getting DC pump when have more $. and will get a carbon and bio pellet reactor, any more equip i should get?

cheers

i need to dose 30ML of kh & ca daily (using randy's 2 part formula) to maintain my ca/kh.. i just bought my dosing pump.. will save me alot of hassle and much more stable parameters!

I second that especially if u want to maintain a stable water condition & keeping sps. Dosing pump is the next best thing and of cos there r other equipments like cr or kalkwasser doser but I guess dosing pump gd enuff. I have to dose like 240ml of NaHCO3 everyday, dun think I can do that manually.

[Jack 123456]

yea eventually i will get dosing pump, its on my list of priorities. for waver im gonna get wp40

cheers

[Jack 123456]

I dont have any new updates, ill try my best to take some pics of the lights later. first i need to get pipe glue,hang lights, get saltwater and scape then I'm ready to go.Most likely ill get saltwater next weekend from irwarna. My location is telok blangha, irwarna quoted me 90$ for saltwater and delivery. do u guys know any other LFS that do it for cheaper?

cheers

[Harlequinmania]

They are already the cheapest in the market here.
