Fishes never die, so i guess 1 week can add. In fact wanted to transfer the fishes over immediately, but a little kiasu so wait for a week later.

The tee-off is to spread/channel the water, the tilt to the glass is to prevent direct gushing (generate noise) - common knowledge lah bro ! Hmmm... Sam of Sealife has been following you for the past 18 years? :D:lol:

Anyway a young guy like you considering your age and knowledge is not bad....cheers bro.

Piping works almost done

haiya see it too late...

u should have change your piping direction.. so that your return should be straight up rather then alot of right angle turn... to prevent head lost...

16mm return pipe.. this is what I'm using for my current tank too.. but regard about it.. should have go for 25mm or 32mm for better return pump..

now I have to start thinking and mostly have my return pipe 32mm behind the tank... for great flow...

Sure no problem...i had infact wanted to build it as a partition....but too troublesome...plus using it as a divider will mean the tank + sump will be more or less in the middle of the floor slab.....not too good....any idea y my polyps not extending?
