Starting to fill up with DI!

almost done..

I actually used about 70% of the water from the blue tub (from the first picture), and the rest are using new DI water with Skizm Pur reef salt. Dumped 40lb worth of fiji pink salt (loving the grain size but not the amount of pink it has!) and now awaiting for the water to clear.

The amazingly quiet overflow. Great for surface skimming too

Here's what the skimmer has been pulling out after 1 hour of break-in! i believe its the cloudy water caused by the live sand!

Will be dosing prodibio Biodigest 1 vial/day for the next 14 days.

Forget it. You got no patience for such scape.

Thanks guys! @Harlequin, Yes i do have plans to do that, but not for preventing water splashing though.. right now i've tuned the overflow to be just slightly below the water level so it flows dow

Update:


Tanks has cleared and has transferred corals and my 3 fishes into this tank yesterday night, Midas Blenny was seen eating pellets moments ago. Also dumped cured live rocks (from my previous tank, in the tub) into sump to help cycling. Been dosing biodigest daily.

Heres a tiny update..
Skimmer churning out yellowish skimmate.. probably due to low bioload at the moment.
Due to the space taken up by the overflow compartment, a big space were left empty at the back. wiring are not hidden and looks hideous.. DIY-ed a box to cover things up!
after placing the box in!
Here's a video update as well!

Thank you so much! Indeed will have lots of room for corals and yet lots of room for fishes too!

nice scape, can have seafans or suncorals inverted.

Thanks! Great idea about that

Very nice rockscape!

Thanks!

Its working pretty well creating waves on W1 mode. I have 2 return line that is probably returning at least 2000l/hr (probably more) of water per outlet. This is providing majority of the flow.

Thanks bro.

Update:

Bought 2 packs of live copepods to seed the tank. Turns out to be too much and fishes were having a great meal!

Day 9 of set up, 9 vials of Biodigest had went in at 1 vial/day. Rocks are almost covered in brown algae.
