Nice tank bro.. ;)

Notice your overflow box is in the corner and it is not accessible from the side or back. You might want to think of some contingencies to access to it, in case you have fishes falling into it. You will have problem accessing it to catch the fish.

Bro, suggest you make a taller glass cube for the overflow while maintaining the length of the pipes, if not I tink the splashing of the water coming down pretty heavy and might seep out... :P

Juz my $0.02... but tank looking great! :P

People do not plan to fail; Often they just fail to plan...

Wat I do to prevent myself from tearing my hair out... My stress remedy...

The chamber looks small too, any filter media might clog up soon, make sure you clean it often or you'll find it flooded pretty soon...

Juz my $0.02... keep the pics coming, looking forward to another great tank in the making... :P

Bro,

wat u intend to keep? With 75W, not sufficient for SPS... :) Even the intensity may not be enough to light up your entire tank... :

SPS for me will be later stage. as i will be purchasing my equipment one by one.( need to save $$$ as am really po kai liao.) thus am adding in 4 nos T5 flourescent light.

a closer look at the T5. hmm.. saw from other reefer their t5 are all 38w. wonder if i use 28W ok not???? :unsure:

Hi Scroll,

Am still deciding what to keep. but for start, maybe with LS/LR.

Yes u r right. plan to place the chiller at the next room which is the kitchen.

here the pic taken at the kitchen.

whoa right through the wall....awesome , great looking tank I must say HaanZii

lighting might want to go for bigger watts unless you're going for multiple T5's

bro, is frosted glass suitable?

understand wat yr concern are. will test out when gear up everything & see the outcome. if the frosted glass is afftecting the brightness, will change to clear glass. ;)

the electronic ballast....
