Fishgeek's new tank

[fishgeek]

Hi everyone,

Have got a new house and with it came a new tank. Its a 915mm x 700mm x 610mm (12mm thick) by Vincent. Still waiting for the rest of the barang barang to come.

So I thought of starting whatever I have now.

Don't seem to be able to upload any more pictures recently. My files are 3Mb size but keep getting "error 500 upload skipped" when I try to attach them. Any idea how to rectify this?

[ASHWIN]

Firstly Welcome!..

What camera are they from?..I Normally Resave them and wala....Its because The files are big..or you can try uploading Via Flickr Then To SRC..

[Clement_jr]

no cure for error 500. i had this error since last year.

[fishgeek]

I am using HP camera. Tried saving the image again but still cannot.

[fishgeek]

Manage to get it after reading error 500 topics. The 8Mb upload size is very misleading. Mine was about 2Mb and I had to reduce to 100Kb then it worked

[Admiraltian]

Very neat looking tank. The drop in coil & compressor also supplied & done by Vincent?

[fishgeek]

Yes. There will be another small cupboard to fill up the gap on the left.

[fishgeek]

Some updates. I have bought an RO/DI but did not know that the waste water is in a ratio of 1:4. Therefore to fill my 100 Gallon tank I am going to loose 400 Gallon.

Any good suggestion for me to save water? Vincent has suggested to top up the tank with tap water then run a DI to filter the water till the TDS reads 0. Is this good?

[fishgeek]

Some pictures I have taken.

Hi,

Finally yeah. Looking to get more frags from you.

Anyone using Hydra 52 can share their light settings?

Anyone using Hydra 52 can share their light settings?

My setting for Hydra 52 ;

white : 65

Violet : 20

Red: 30

Green: 30

Blue: 80

Royal Blue : 80

D-Blue : 80

UV : 30

My light is about 16 " above the water level. Be careful about the white and UV setting as it might bleach your corals. Too much red and green and you will have algae issues especially for a new tank. Slowly increase the intensity up by 5-10% per week and observe the coral reaction to it.

[fishgeek]

Thanks for sharing

Nice looking tank.

Waiting for more updates.

[fishgeek]

I would love too. But the setup is really at a snail pace. Think he is really busy and I hope he can finish it soon

[fishgeek]

Finally done the Rock scape. Back breaking just carrying and placing it in the tank. Should I go with a bare tank or a thin layer?

[asg]

Depends on the LS you intend to keep. IMO half a cm sand could be just nice to have that nature look.

[RomeoJuliet]

+1 for sand. Go for live sand that will speed up the cycling process. Can show your sump set up and lightings . Cheers !

Hi bro! are you using aquaroche ceramic rocks? can share your cycling plan? I am currently cycling my aquaroche ceramic rocks, hope i can steal some tips from u! :P

[fishgeek]

Hi,

Still busy unpacking my stuff at new house and got no time for the tank at the moment. I have no experience with this type of rocks too. I just added some bacteria and keep the tank running for 2 weeks now without any lights.

Will be going to my old house to transfer my Royal Gramma to the new tank. Cross my fingers that it can tahan. Anyone got a small live rock for me to seed my new tank? Don't want to use my existing live rocks because got some aiptasia.

Btw Aquarium Artist has posted my tank in his thread. The last few is mine. I welcome any comments.

[RomeoJuliet]

Cycling with lights on.

[fishgeek]

lights not set and royal gramma is the king of the tank at the moment. readings are all zero. maybe will meddle with the director tomorrow
