SRC Member Rocky99 Posted July 4, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted July 4, 2005 March 05 finally decided to embark on a new tank project to give my fish more space to swim about and more corals thanks to fellow reefers here who offered help and advice, and who kindly allowed me to pop by to draw inspiration from their beautiful tanks. link to my old tank thread. no longer in existence. tearing it down wasnt a simple job.

SRC Member Rocky99 Posted July 4, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted July 4, 2005 Wow! Nice looking tank you've got there Rocky! It's a divider tank right? Is that a macro ph controller I see? thanks bro. thats the tiny ocean combo ph monitor and thermometer from bio ocean. its advertised in the sponsor's forum, v good deal. i like it cos can read off at night with the illuminated LED. and better still numbers are big. temp readings impt cos i'm using a resun 650, which may not be v reliable. but for time being it's fine, chiller can cool to 26.9, and is placed in the kitchen.

SRC Member Rocky99 Posted July 4, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted July 4, 2005 this is something i found very useful. no regrets despite burning a hole in my pocket. could never raise my kh above 8 no matter how much bicarb i used. after running it for a week, my parameters all fall in range. got 2 additional add-ons but not enough media to fill it.
