Thanks, bro for your compliment.

A new shot with all the panel in place.

Will add some seashell on the door later, for a more 3D effect.

Thank you, the Nitride and nitric has gone down.

Very eager to wait for the cycling to complete.

Wow lovely new tank bro, and a lot of unusual and awesome features like the overflow to hide wavemakers and frag station, and the glass to make floating rocks!

Thanks, the lights are DIY cost $100 only main cost are the branches from Crate & Barrel : )

Saw your blog and I'm amazed by your DIY.

Tank will be just LPS and softies, hope you all will not be disappointed.

Don't want to keep SPS and be a slave to reefing. : )

Shifted the tank to my planned location.

However, realised that it is blocking the "visual flow" to the study room.

Will need to shift to the grey wall side. Haiz.....there goes all my DI water and salts.

Anyone used Caribsea Live sand before?

After putting a pack into my refugium, next day my water become crystal clear!

Seems like the live sand works!

 

[Xtrader]

The first residence to my new tank, Mr and Mrs NEMO!

My refugium cum frag tank on the front and behind-right is the Macro Algae tank for cultivating pods.

Using Kessil A80 for the refugium, very good and convenient to adjust the colour.

Bought 2 scolly for the new tank. Nice?

 

[Xtrader]

Bought some plants to complement my tank.

I think will be busy with these 2 hobbies!

 

[Xtrader]

I found a bit of space between the filter wool and water level.

So I added some old school wet/dry bio balls sytem.

You think is a bad idea? Could it becomes a nitrate factory?

 

[Xtrader]

Going light on equipments.

Just an average size skimmer and a small reactor for my 400 litre tank.

[Xtrader]

Front is my refugium cum frag tank.

Behind is my macro algae for pods and nutrients exports.

Using CabriSea live sand, it really clears up the tank.

Shifted my tank to a new position, does it look better now?

 

 

 

 

Vs Old position

 

[Xtrader]

Added some frags and fishes.

Frags seem not doing too well, suspect the tank has not run in.
