Welcome!

Hi,

In an effort to know more about each other, I wish to see members giving a detailed rundown on their tank setups before they post photos of their tanks.

I believe photos tell a thousand words but sometimes, explanations are required. This section should not be just a gallery of photos.

I think some details to be included are:

Size of tank

Age of tank (inclusive of cycling period)

Water Parameters

Lighting systems

Filtration systems

Chiller system

Topup/calcium replenishment systems

Control systems

water circulation systems

Number/species of corals

Number/species of inverts

Number/species of fishes

If you wish to go into details about your tank setup process, your feeding and husbandry routine and other experiences related to your tank, please do so!

As everyone has their own budget and techniques in the success of their tanks, please do not refrain from sharing some tips or methods as I believe there are no 'experts' amongst us as we are all still learning!

Anyway, it's not a contest but it would be a good thing to benchmark how far we have gone on a personal level!

I may eventually make it compulsary for members to post up their system specs so we can build up a database of Singapore reefers!

Anyway, I suggest that you take your time to word it properly in a text document first before cutting and pasting into a new thread so it won't be too messy and you have ample time to proofread and make amendments.
