Hi All,

As most of you guys know, im upgrading again :-)

Letting go of my 3X1.5X1.8 for a bigger piece of the action.

Most of the equipment are mostly sold off cheap, or brought over to my new tank..

Anyway, tank finally arrived today....!

4X2X2, 10mm glass, with crystal glass front.

3X1.6.1.5 Sump (3 compartments)

Black grained cabinet laminate.

Installed the following items so far.

Hard plumbing done.

Eheim 1262 fixed up.

2 tube Delightings T5 with 2X Blue Plus Tubes.

2 modules of Maxaspect Mazarra S (8 cool whites, 4 warm whites, 4 blue Led per module)

I would love to get some inputs from anyone regarding the light system.

Tank gonna be mainly LPS with 3-4 pieces of SPS frags (just those easy ones)

Following post will be pics of the setup.
Pls feel free to comment if I can improve anything before I setup my tank.

Know what im doing but opinions and comments to improve are always welcomed.

Thanks!

Be careful on the output of your mazzara. If possible, raise up the height.

Thanks a lot for the compliments!

Anyway my choice of equipment will be as follows

Lighting - may add on 2 more tubes of t5 (if planning to keep sps), for LPS, I think the current setup will be sufficient.

Skimmer - BM C6(decommed from old tank), may upgrade to a BM Curve 7 or 9

Chiller - Hailea 1/4 powered fed with Boyu 1500l/hr

H2Ocean FR1 = Rowaphos+Rowacarbon with a 600l/hr Aquazonic feeder, using ball valve to regulate flow

H2Ocean FR2 = Bio Pellets with a 600l/hr Aquazonic feeder, using ball valve to regulate flow

Wavemaker = 2X WP 25

Not intending to use any dosing pumps for now or calcium reactor. Might just do manual topups or DIY a dosing pump.

Wah a lot of nice rocks to play around with bro! My suggestion is to really take it slow with the scaping. Do a layout on the ground, if possible stick them together with epoxy. Can even go the extra mile by drilling holes and placing pvc pipes in between if you wanna achieve your ultimate scape. :thumbsup: A stable structures makes a good reef for a long term.

 

I Love Stagsss
