Solo77 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Protein skimmer, maybe wave maker and cooling fan/chiller. Very fresh water feel. Depends on what u intend to keep, the setup can be different. Livestock... Where do u stay? Easily accessible LFS by mrt.... Pinnacle, ah beng, clementi polyart, etc. 1 Quote Tank : 4 X 2 X 2 with low iron front panel and external overflow Skimmer : BK SM200 with waste collector Return Pumps : Red Dragon 6m3 and Ehiem 1262 FR : 2 X Deltec 509 & powered by AB2000 Nitrate Filter : Deltec NF 509 and tee off from AB2000 Calcium R'tor : Deltec PF 501 with RM secondary chamber Kalkwasser R'tor : Deltec KM500 Chiller : Pansonic 1 HP Compressor with 20m titanium Coil Wave Makers : 4 X Tunze 6055 with 7096 & Vortec MP40w Controller : GHL Profilux Lighting : ATI Powermodule 10 or 8 tubes Water Top-up : Water Top-Up tank powered by Tunze Osmolator External Monitor : American Pinpoint pH and Temp.

SRC Member Kwancy Posted October 22, 2019 SRC Member Share Posted October 22, 2019 Don’t use live rock, save you from headache. Just get caribsea life rock instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterlim Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 Btw, should i add 1 more Canister filter and put biomedia inside ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo77 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Buy from ppl who decom. Yr tank glass panel is ard 8mm? Maybe thin and beware of the risk. If u intend to go cycling... No need Live rock.... Live rock to speed up cycling and depending on source, may have unwanted stuff.

SRC Member soggycookies Posted October 23, 2019 SRC Member Share Posted October 23, 2019 You can try getting rocks from fellow reefers. Some sell em’ cheap due to decomm but be wary sometimes it’s because of other issues you may not know of.. like parasites/contamination etc hahahaSent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that you buy something like maxspect nanoplates and bury it just under ur sand bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo77 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Not sure whether nano plate is suitable to bury under sandbed. Read up to understand placement of such biomedia to ensure maximum effectiveness. Some require high flow while others mild and low light. Can consider dried rocks. Do use other platforms to buy your rocks...for 58 dollar, think u can buy 3ft worth of rocks from those decomming... Do consider second items for start and only invest once you are serious in this hobby. 1 Quote Tank : 4 X 2 X 2 with low iron front panel and external overflow Skimmer : BK SM200 with waste collector Return Pumps : Red Dragon 6m3 and Ehiem 1262 FR : 2 X Deltec 509 & powered by AB2000 Nitrate Filter : Deltec NF 509 and tee off from AB2000 Calcium R'tor : Deltec PF 501 with RM secondary chamber Kalkwasser R'tor : Deltec KM500 Chiller : Pansonic 1 HP Compressor with 20m titanium Coil Wave Makers : 4 X Tunze 6055 with 7096 & Vortec MP40w Controller : GHL Profilux Lighting : ATI Powermodule 10 or 8 tubes Water Top-up : Water Top-Up tank powered by Tunze Osmolator External Monitor : American Pinpoint pH and Temp.
