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?

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.
