Fluval Edge 12 gallon tank

This is why I've quite made up my mind to use artificial ceramic rock for my next set up, though the cycling process will take longer due to the absence of existing bacteria found in live rocks, but you will have 100% peace of mind that your tank will be clear of pests. Heard from Iwarna Uncle that the artificial rocks are made to be more porous so that we can house more bacteria. Bros can consider this if you are setting up a new tank!

Yeah, i saw the artificial rocks at Iwarna before. Ease of mind aside, the only issue I have is that the artificial rocks are too neat. lol.

All the extensions/platforms are positioned so nicely that they scream "put an SPS on me!".

haroldfock bro: Sorry, can I ask again how is the heat from this chiller since you are placing it beside the sofa?

Dear all, it has been some time since I updated on this site. As I have previously written, one of our companies is in water purification technology business for human beings. Out of mischief (really thinking out of the box), we decided to apply the same technology meant for humans to the reef tank. To our stunned minds, the technology killed all the bad bacteria, READ this- my blue tang no longer catches the infamous white spot diseases, it stabilizes the water parameters, suppresses algae and yet not harmful to corals, shrimps and fishes. This is not a marketing stunt. We obviously signed a deal with a reefing specialist company in this business to make it commercial. The truth is we are not in the reef space, plus I am just a newbie hobbyist. And thanks to all the elders here who gave me tons of great advice, reefing became a fun hobby. Little did we know the tech can be used here. I have signed the NDA and it will be up to my business partners to announce it. I understand this is not the right space to make such announcement. It is just an accidental experiment that works. And my tank is happy. And I hope to invent something that makes reef keeping as simple as possible. I am a lazy reefer.

I had two tank "accidents" before this experiment. My chiller pump failed and I came home the next day to a cooked tank. Another time was getting harlequin shrimps which died and polluted the tank. Now I just keep things very simple. Using the tech, the tank is fuss free. I also installed a Seneye to prevent mechanical failure like chiller pump malfunction. Happy reefing Sirs!
