very nice & neat...I like your rockworks

Bro,

Nice rockwork.

Your LR looks quite big so make sure that they are properly secured esp. as you are going BB. You dun want the rocks toppling onto the bare glass base..

BTW, have you manage to fix up your new MD 55 to the skimmer?

Cheers

juz got the time to download some pics on my equipment......

[yellowfin tuna]

sump connected to chiller and and return pump.....

[yellowfin tuna]

guys,,, can comment whether anything need to be changed in the sump... should i change the media to LR instead of those bio balls and ceramic rings at the bottom....

[yellowfin tuna]

my first residents of the tank,,,,

5 green chromis....

[yellowfin tuna]

i realised that there seems to be a mild outbreak of brown algae..... i am currently having a 6ft PL light (10k) and another 6ft PL light (blue)

the white running from 11am to midnite.... while the blue light runs from 10am to 2am

any suggestions to control this brown algae.....

[shawncel]

Bro,

You should cut down your light photoperiod to ard 6 to 8 hours. 13 hours is a bit excessive esp since you do not have any corals yet and only have some chromis.

Dun worry too though, new tanks always seem to suffer from some form of algae growth.

Schruan products sold in Singapore are on the ex side. Bought my skimmer for more than 1k but must say its a master piece. Guess we are paying for their R&D and quality.
