After lots of advice by friends whom kept telling me that a 6mm tank will not hold enough LR and goodies and imagine that my dining room will be like a swimming pool once it break :sick:

So when a friend told me that he wanna gave away a 10mm tank, I quickly asked for it. It is kind of :shock: when I received it...a 4*2*2 10 mm glass tank with rod iron stand...(it's so huge!)

After much deliberation, I have decided to post my tank pics here so that all the bros in the forum can give me your valuable advice!

Here it goes..... :pinch:

Thats all for now...wait for the cycling...shouldn't be too long, I hope ;)

My Skimmer have been skimming for a day and no skimmate, not even bubbles... :unsure: dun know whether it spoiled a not???

Now need to shop for light...dun think my T5 NO light can support this tank...properbly a chiller too....Wa koaz, going to be broke liao...

Btw, the night which I received the tank, was contemplating whether the RIS can tahan anot...couldn't sleep the whole night.. :sick:

But then next day my wife said no problem, so I believed her lor...anything happened I won't kana blame :P(actually read thru a few thread and found many reefer also using RIS)

So risk, risk lah...No risk No gain...actually gain nothing but rather than spending another few hundreds for a few wood...also dun know how long can I keep this hobby..reason I might be going oversea.

Anyway, thanks for reading.... :D

  do u have any ideal that wrought iron stands are RUST MAGNETS? they'll rust very very soon.... 

I know, but what to do....running tight budget, Poor Man Reefing:(

Okay lah, U r right :bow:

The reason I continued is because after searching the forum, found out that a few senior reefer also used RIS before.

Well, wehn the time that the stand is too rusty, will do a swap again lor..take it as rework on the tank to ensure that sandbed is clean again.

:P
