Blueberry22 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hi guys, just got a new (2nd hand) tank from Larry last month, hoping to start a new mixed reef tank. A major upgrade from my previous 3x1.5x1.8, very excited I'm still relatively new to this hobby, hopefully all the lao Jiaos can teach me as I go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueberry22 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Recently changed my rockscape. Will have to buy coral glue to make it stable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueberry22 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Realised my overflow compartment was leaking, have to redo the silicone layer stopped my pump too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueberry22 Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Sump tank specifications (cm): 137x64x34 planning to put ceramic rings in the first chamber, and activated carbon in the small chamber beside the return chamber. Thinking of putting miracle mud in the refugium, with live rocks and chaeto. Might add in a bp reactor next to the skimmer for extra filtration. Not sure what's the difference between bp reactor and fluidised reactor tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member kenyee Posted December 11, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted December 11, 2016 Nice scape bro.. I suggest for biomedia, put marinepure block..easier to maintance..2 blocks not than enough..I used one block for my 5ft FOWLR..

Blueberry22 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Got my new led lightings: aquanice (a jap brand I think) led for refugium. 2x white AI hydra 52 HD for dt. The reason I went for white was to minimise heat absorption. Now waiting for my rails to come also bought a few more accessories - accudrip for easy acclimation, and a siphon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will take a picture soon. As for bio media, Edmund from fnm actually told me that the blocks may get clogged more easily than the spheres. So I went with one box of the sphere. Thanks for the suggestion tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueberry22 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Added bacteria about 1.5-2 weeks back, just checked my tank parameters: temperature (skimmer not on) - 28.4 pH - 8.3 ammonia - 0 nitrite - 0 nitrate - 0.25 test kits used are from API. May get a pH pen in the near future for more accuracy. Have test kits for phosphates, Kh, Ca from DD and salifert, haven't tested as those are for the later part when I start to add stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueberry22 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Installed one side of the lights. Will install the other side when I have more time next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
