My 4x2x2!

[Kalib]

This is my 4'x2'x2' from EAP.

My 4'x2'x2' is finally in its cycling stage after being on display for 3weeks due to some minor piping hiccups along the way and other delays.

Just added 60kg of LR yesterday. Will measure ammonia later on, now too lazy to measure.

The maintank with cabinet and hood.

The sump. 3'x20"x20".

*yawnz* late. Later i'll post the tank specs.

[ryz]

nice rockscape! Love it!! What lights you using?

nvm.. wait till tomorrow for tank specs.

[Kalib]

Thanks for the compliments ryz.

*yawns* now i'm awake from my short sleep.

Ok, here's the tank specs first, will test water parameters in just awhile be patient!

Tank: 4'x2'x2', 12mm glass

Sump: 3'x20"x20", 8mm glass

Built-in refugium in the sump: 2'x20"x1'

Return pump: Eheim Universal 1262, 3400l/hr

Skimmer: Weipro 2014

Skimmer pump: HQB3900, 3500l/hr think gonna divert the outlet maybe add more circulation to the refugium,a little big for a 2014 but since i've already changed the plug to a 3-pin plug, don't think i can return to the shop, silly me

Lights: 2x55W PL(white, 10,000K), 1x30W FL(actinic blue), just FOWLR maybe some mushrooms which will be placed at the top of the rocks.

2x36W PL(6,500K) for my refugium.

Sand: 60kg grade1 coral sand

Filter media: Bioballs and filter wool. FOWLR! Not planning to go into keeping a reef tank.

Liverocks: 60kg, still adding another 10kg from my current 2ft tank later on.

So, that basically sums up the tank specs. Will move on to water parameters in just awhile. Got somemore pics of the tank itself, will post them up later when i'm done resizing them.

[Kalib]

Decided to re-size and upload 2 more pics. Now i'm going to go measure the water parameters.

Water parameters, measured only SG,nh3,no2 and pH:

SG: 1.020, going to raise this to 1.023-1.025 in just awhile

Ammonia: 0.8mg/litre

Nitrite: 0.5mg/litre,think its more than that but closest match is 0.5mg/l

pH: 8.5What do you guys think?

Looks like there won't be a need for any market prawn.
