the engine that drives the babie~..

it must be the

RESUN MD55

okay..as seen here..its piped up to the sump already..

my dad did the drilling of the holes thru the cabinet..

took a long time to measure and get the dimensions correct..

ok..after one whole night of measuring and sortings..

finally did the return for the overflow with a ball valve..

the concept there is..i need not siphon water to start the overflow system..

simply open the ball valve..and water will start running through the pipes..

thus creating a siphoning/back flow effect..

yupp..a gread dad he is!..

we upgraded tank alot of time..

started with a 2ft Nisso tank with OHF..

then a 2ft with internal filter system

then a 4ft with overflow to sump

and now a bigger 4 ft!..

more info bout my dad~

haha..

he used to have a marine tank during his younger days..

mixed his own salt..and use an Eheim canister for filtration...

caught his own livestock ranging from wrasses to seahorse, spikey urchins to funny corals.. from singapore waters..but he said they never survive a week under his care..

cos last time theres no such things as testkits and skimmers...
