Finally back to reef after i decomm my 422.. As a family man, 1st obstacle to reef is permit from ur minister of home affair. I finally got thru and hold the permit in hand.. 1 stage cleared.

Recap abit, 1st tank was a 40cm cube IOS then upgraded to a 422. More details can search around for my old thread.

Back to topic. Choosing between 3x1.8x1.8 IOS or a 322 with sump.. Final decision go to 322 with sump as I got it free from a reef from another forum. Good gesture.

Called up 3 mover to get quote and finally decided to hire TMAS (Tank Mover Aquatic Services) from the usually mover i always hire. The service is good and they will go the extra miles to make life easier for u.

Remove 3 panels and relocation as to make the centre compartment bigger to fit equipments. FYI, this sump is for FW.68b38cc4beac123ce1a2767d824ef069.jpg
Now it time to measure and mark up the new location of the 3 panels.
