Starting a new tank

[teo]

2X Aqua Medic actinic Blue 5 ft (80W)

[teo]

This is the stand to house the lights. It works like computer keyboard drawers that can slight front and back. Another useful idea.

[teo]

View of stand mounted in the cabinet.

[teo]

View from the bottom showing the lights fired up. I don't think I need to turn out any other lights in my house.

[teo]

This is the ventilation fan for the cabinet

[teo]

Empty tank with light on. Note the vent fan on the top right.

Very well setup....a lot of money must have been thrown inside, rather than in N*F :lol:

Still have doh to buy the rest....sand, rocks, fishes and corals? I believed, no problem, right!

Beside, just checking, you stay in HDB or private? If HDB, need to get permit for housing this giant?

Keep posting....

Hi Klim,

My idea is to get the basic equipment right. The live stock can be built up slowly over time. So I am pumping all doh on the hardware now.

I am staying in private, so no approval is needed.

See attached picture for first water filling.

[teo]

Only one quarter filled after so long. Anyway to stop that water meter?

[teo]

Still filling with $$$. Why did I go for such big tank?

[teo]

Almost there.

[teo]

Water into the overflow box now.

Love the pics of your setup! Keep them coming!

Hi Hammy and cityofangels

Thanks for your compliments. I have seen cityofangels's tank post. You have a very nice setup. I hope to see hammy's tank also. Looking forward to talking more with both of you.

Attached picture is the water flowing into the first sump chamber.

[teo]

Now it is time for these 2 guys (2x Ehein model 1262) to start work.

[teo]

Full tank picture with lights on and water filled.

What are these 2 guys doing there?

[xfusion]

A very well planned tank setup. Great effort must be put in for such planning.

Thumbs upzz.

OK, by popular demand, here is a picture of the overheat cut off unit.

The probe in the main tank. When the probe senses temperature above 29.5C, the unit will cut off power to the MH to prevent further heating.
