CAn anyone coach me on reef tank setup. I'm really interested. Currently on 3 ft tank with live rock and fish only. maybe resorting to ask shop to do setting up but sense of achievement is minimal. Help! :(

lol. . how come you are asking on my thread? :lol: I am sure there are many reefers out there who have plenty of experience and willing to lend a helping hand.

Anyway do you plan to use the existing system or upgrade the system?

upgrading to 4 ft at least and all the filtration system in the cabinet. maybe installing a chiller too. I wonder how much is that... A shop willing to fix up the system for about 4 to 5 K.

It really depends on the equipments the shop is providing. Some people or in fact most people can be turn off by a 4-5k quotation, but they never ever question about the types of equipments given. they only see the difference in dollars between the shop that quoted 2k and the shop that quoted 5k.

Even a 2k budget is enuff to do a 4ft tank, but u will be getting kapok cabinet, 1-2 fans, weipro skimmer, rainbow pl lights tt sorta thing.

4k-5k sld be able to get you all the necessary equipments and make sure u do not have to upgrade in the near future.
