My small 2 feet tank

You may remove the endcap where the air tube is attached once it is running. The flow will be slower, it is okay.

Is the pump running constant when the siphone breaks?? Close the ball valve more will help too.

Bro, thanks for yr advice...now already started to get the hang of it..

Will close down the v/v a bit more..

Close up look of my very 1st small cat-eye bubbles.. not a very beautiful specimen..

But i got it at a very gd price plus i think there is a potential to grow also

Bro, i am not using any chiller... as i mention b4.. mine is a cheap setup compared to many bros tank setup...

i used frozen water bottles in my sump tank to bring the temperature in my tank down.... being doing that for abt half a year liao... actually i only start to keep LPS only since last year oct that time..

Nice tank you have!

BTW, may I know the size of the pipe o/d of your overflow pipe?

Also what is the return pump rating in l/hr? Do you add any ball valve to your return pump? Thanks.

Mine is a just normal ok tank only.... restricted by $$$

Btw the overflow pipe dia is 2cm.. if i am not wrong.. i do use a ball v/v to control

The return pump from sump to main tank is a 2000l/hr pump... but due to the ball v/v opening throttled to 75% open and the head los s and pump efficiency... i suppose the return flow is < 1000l/hr flow... which i reckon, should be enough for my small 2 feet tank...

Hope my info help... perhaps u k share with me, how yr system is ..

Your tank looks great... I don't think pumping in more $$$ will improve it significantly... unless you are talking about a new tank in a much grander scale

Thanks for yr kind words, bro... i do intend to set up a bigger tank in the future...

but due to budget...most likely would start only a 3 ft tank..

You know what? I am very happy with my 3ft tank... I think it allows enough room to play with and at the same time more manageable and intimate. Definitely a good size for ur next upgrading... once the tank gets larger than 4ft... u will be looking at a totally different set of professional equipments already That's where the real "burning" gonna hurt most

All the best! Hope to see your new set up soon... start a new thread?

Bro, i will not be starting a new bigger tank so soon...

got to beef up the wallet 1st

Last week, almost tear down my tank to catch the naughty blue eye anthia out ..later rescape to try to get back the old shape of the tank.. very tedious n siong

Affected my corals a bit... this two days juz get better after two water changes... though my green pearl coral got hurt quite bad, haiz

being reading that u are upgrading yet again

looking forward to yr updated tank threads

[jervismun]

Me upgrading?!? No lah... can't afford a Deltec tank yet ... more like downgrading this round... thinking of changing my MH to T5 instead... the corals are very happy/healthy under MH... I am the only one sufferring... oh the chiller too (poor Italian guy).

Yeah... never never catch a fish out using a net, you will hurt/stress others along the way... not worth it... I have been trying trap a bit... but no success lor... will try to go buy a more reliable fish trap soon

[ad_aware]

I caught my tangs out using net.....

[xersion]

me use net too.. but seen henry tips that tang love to bang mirror? can put a mirrior into a small tank and lure it in

[ad_aware]

Haha i tried b4.. they ignored it.. maybe my mirror was too small.. in the end i jus stand there.. and wait for them to swim in

[xersion]

lol.. kk i'm off to farmart for a walk now.. anyone interested?

[ad_aware]

Huh? whoa seh u very good hor? working also can walk out!! *grrrrr
