How time flies... in a blink of an eye... my tank is turning 1 year old... jumped into the “dark side” with limited Budget, got a second hand set up and ran with it...not the most fanciful of tank but I enjoyed the journey, made new frens, lost some corals, did some minor upgrades, made some changes.

 

Now I am taking the next step, to invest in a new tank that can last me for the next 5-8years...

 

After much research, I ended up with DE for my next tank build :) placed my order and look forward to getting my tank on 1 Aug!

 

Below is the build I am going

 

1. 4ft(l) x 2.5ft(w) x 2ft(h)

2. Maxspect turbine duo 9k

3. 2 x Maxspect gyre 330

4. 1 maxspect light to be supported by 2 Orhpek OR bars

5. A haliea 1/2hp chiller

6. Reef octopus skimmer

7. Nyos 2.0 reactor

8. Skimz calcium reactor

9. Bubble Magnus auto roll

10. Carbisea live sand and rocks

 

I am sticking to running full AF products in my upcoming tank after 6 months of good experience with their products...

 

I have a JBJ Aractica chiller 1/5hp to let go on 31 Jul... asking for 300 dollars... if keen can pm me :)

 

Will update when my stuff comes :)

My new tank finally up and running...

 

This tank set up is not without its ups and down... the whole set up took 3 days before anything could go in...

 

Cabinet came in and chiller couldn’t go in, they made the adjustment, putting in sand rock, water and let it stabilise!

 

Set up all my equipment, drill in all my Controllers and doing wiring management... Thks to Van bro for his help as well... otherwise I think the tank is still not running yet haha

 

Also! My Orphek lights came and got set up! Now running it on aclimatising program... I must say I am very impressed how 1 unit can cover my 4ft tank... my 2 supplement light OR2 bars will just Ensure my 2.5ft Wide tank is properly covered... planned to on them when my sps are in.

2 months have past quickly!
Much have happened over the 2 months!
2 weeks ago, my power bar broke down and my tank went without power for 2hours... luckily my tenant saw my tank have 0 movement and informed me... took urgent leave and no casualty haha!

Added some sps... now due to traveling have yet to add the elegance coral that will take my middle rock as a showpiece... sps are encrusting and growing... added some frags from a fellow reefer waiting for it to stabilise...
A tank powered by orhpek and aqua forest...
