[alanseah]

bro,

this hobby is wallet burning one... mine burn till ash already and still burning..

somemore it also time burning... u will become a slave for your tank which currently I'm now...

hehehe but now tank more or less stable so have less work compare when it first setup..

[bwilly]

Bwilly... i strongly recommend that you redo all your piping now... and use true union ballvalves to cut off water not just for maintenance but also to control water flow.

thanks AT..

I spoken with the tank maker tat time. he told me easily spoilt..union valve

so I see no point. I leh jiet follow my fren reduce tub

of water to a certain level, then change.

now i rethink alot of work.. haha..

but glue liao leh.. easy to dismantle..??

[bwilly]

T off to run skimmers..

[bwilly]

two skimmers running off the MD55..

one already seem to skim..

[bwilly]

the MD55 is abit noisy though..

Actually don't really need to worry about the natural sunlight what. Will be beneficial to corals and clams. Blocking natural sunlight is more for freshwater setups, whereby phosphate levels tend to be higher hence the fear of algae bloom.

one good thing abt it being above water level is the back flow..

if inside water it will force (feedback) till water level is below

the "hole"

I most likely add a lockline to it. Last nite add a rain bar on it liao.

[alanseah]

another shot..

bro how come your overflow box can be so full...

think your return rate is faster then your overflow rate..

wait over flood...
