Red Dragon.. good choice but make sure hv good replacements easily available, which i dun think is much of a prob now that Reef Depot is bringing it in.

AB pump are low in wattage consumption compared to Eheim and other pumps. But I would prefer to use eheim for return pump instead as flow rate much stronger than AB

if u listen to 1 side story, u will think aquabee is problematic..

its true that 1 batch of aquabee has been giving problem. but i believe the prob solved liao.

ofcos nutin beats ehiem, been in this trade for many years sturdy and reliable.

but max flowrate 4500l/hr+- only rite?

Sure bro. Coral hunting is great fun u know... Here's something for u to consider buying for ur tank

[Earth]

Worth every effort bro... especially you caught the koran.. rockscape looks better now. Last time look like 1 whole big piece of LR sitting across your entire 4 footer...

[peacemaker]

Very nice! Looks neat now. I'm sure all the hard work will pay off. If the mantis was hiding deep inside the rocks, he may surface again... pray hard that he's taken out with those rocks that you pulled out of your tank.

[Flame-Tail]

Wah bro Nice. You really quick. But IMO. I would have let the corals and L/S sit in the tub for a while and let the water and rocks settle for bout a week before adding them in to be on the safe side. Even for me I took abt 1 1/2 to 2 mths with matured rocks , sand and NSW before addin in my L/S.

That aside , all the best for your new scaping.

[Solo77]

More space for more additions. Can forgot all the back aches....hehe
