If the livestock in ur tank is happy n growing well, dun need to change so much water..ard 10% will do..water left for 3 days with circulation?..if no, it will b still water n will become stale IMO..tap water can add dechlorinator b4 use..if u really scare of chlorine, leave the water overnight shd suffice..

Very nice n detailed setup..

One thing puzzled: the return pipe why so many bends at the top part..tot more bends will reduce the pressure..anyway, nice n neat piping work..cheers

What do u intend to keep? If coral tank, 5 to 10% weekly is better. If fowlr, if load is heavy, change more. For my tank, i change 50% every 2 weeks. Tap water i mix with prime and add salt. Change water on the same day.

[AroDan]

Good to see all different parts of the tank setup coming together.

WC every 2 weeks is better. new fresh salt water.

[Bacteria]

should I use filtersock if running ats.

[Bacteria]

what other additive should I add in if keeping coral and small fishes?

[kenyee]

should I use filtersock if running ats.

ATS is interesting..pls share pics of ur ats setup..

I use refugium instead..

Filter sock is good to use n its a fail safe way for polishing the water..but regular cleaning/changing is required if not will become nitrate factory.. There's a lot of different setup..depend on what u keep n what u want.. cheers

All carpentry material can shop at sungai kadut . For the plywood they sell 4feet by 8feet but u need to cut urself.
