Oh yeah... and start all over again? I think it's good to show some "before" pix so that the readers there can be inspired by your setup... and do mention the name "Atlantis" coz I'm sure a lot of Atlantis tanks out there needed major revamping and you shall be their successful case study :)

Sorry for the blur tank pix... will try to find another pix later in the morning (going to attend wedding dinner).

p/s: Stay tune so that you can compare the transition of my tank from Dec 2003 to Jun 2006 :paiseh:

M&M's Tank Phase 2 (6 month old - around May 2004): Super duper Low Tech. Tank (or even No Tech. Tank)

p/s: No more white background, yellowish effect is due that I placed a halo light toward the red bamboo :sick:

Set-up before mid Apr 2006:

The "No" :evil:

1) No Chiller (now also)

2) No Skimmer

3) No T5

4) No Test Kits

5) No Additives

6) No Anti Phosphate

7) No Wave Maker

The "Cheap" :paiseh:

1) Cheap Carbon use forever

2) Coral Chip

3) Coarse Sandbed

4) 4in1 Mini aquarium fan

5) Use a piece 10X20cm thin filter wool

6) Pump Head

7) PL light

The method :sick: :

1) Change water if you want max of 10% every 3 months

2) Top up tap water only when water below the black guide line

3) No need to add saltmix
