Hi all! Here's my 5.5ft tank in progress. Comments welcome!

Here's another pic from inside my guestroom where you can see the lower cabin fro sumps and equipments. Will be placing my chiller inside the lower cabin. Will post some pics when I have time to shot. Have removed my sump to drill holes to run pump externally.

Here's a pic of the original sump provided by the tank maker. Its supposed to be a refugim sump but I'm having DSB in main tank thus doing some mod to sump with another panel of glass.

Here comes the pics of my recent LRs scaping. Looks like two mountain. Thinking of rescaping when I get more LRs. Am on the look out for good deals. If any reefer offerings do leave me a note.

[shootsimon]

Tank is currently going through cycling process. Taking it slowly. May even take 2 months to do that. In the meantime hunting for MH lights. Currently using T5s for shoot. Seldom switch on unless for shoot. Attach some more closer view of my LRs.

[shootsimon]

Previous pics of extreme left side. This one center and next one extreme right.

[shootsimon]

If take a closer look the LRs are two mountains are hollow. Have did my return to flow out from the " two mountains" so as to have max flow within the LRs run by 1 eheim 1262. Chiller return also run by another 1262 where the outlet is directed directly to the main tank.

[shootsimon]

This pics shows the outlet of my chiller return. Chiller still under going piping stage so currently no pics yet. Will update one it's done.

[shootsimon]

Have spotted these on the LRs. Can anyone ID them?

Now some updates on my equipments

1) Main return: 1 x eheim 1262

2) Chiller: 1.25hp RR run by 1 x eheim 1262

3) Skimmer: Schuran powered by 1x eheim 1260

4) UV: dunno what Italian brand 2000L/h run by overflow pipe to sump (might change to ozone)

5) Wave maker: 1 x Tunze 6080 (might get 1 more)

6) Lightings: T5 (looking for MH)

7) Sand: Grade 0. Topping up with Grade 1 when I rescape

8) Sump: Bare sump. May add some seaweed with PL light.

Future equipments on mind

Heres another pic of my updated sump and pipings.

Took me almost 2 month to perfect the pipings.

Original pipings was very basic.

This pic is still WIP. Have just finished piping my chiller last night.

Will post new pics once I take pic.

  Aiptasia...kill them!!!

Are they really that bad? Looks quite harmless. What about the one that looks like a feather?

[shootsimon]

Ok. That's all folks. Will update once I have new pics taken. Thanks for all your comments. Look foward to your comments in the coming days. Last pic before I end. This is my old 2 ft in my office.
