Very interesting setup...how'd u end up with blue PVC tubes? :) Am liking the concept...very unique and not like most of the tanks we see these days. U mind explaining the setup...there seems to be two sump tanks...more info and pics would be great... ;)

Blue PVC was all I could find in Bangkok :) Think I might paint the ones going to the chiller black to match the rest of the tank.

The sump is in two parts, but its only one sump. They two areas connect to each other. when I bought the tank it had no sump just two filters either side and a cabinet below. So i drilled the tank and placed the sump below and blocked off one of the side filters. The left filter now just acts as an overflow to the sump.

Its a cool tank, kind of 1970's Dr.No.

LS is currently only two blue tangs and a blue chromis + three sicssor tail dartfish in the QT. But they are not going anywhere for a month.

Most of the corals are softies, with only a bubble, Cup and Hammer as LPS. Have three clams also.

My scraping is terrible and my coral placement leaves alot to be desired too, think i'm going to need some help. photos to come later today.

As for a skimmer, what can i fit in sump compartment that is 6W x 13L x 28H ?

Deltec 1205 is the only skimmer i can see that is going to fit between the baffles in the sump. any good?

Emm... the Deltec 1250 maybe a little under-rated for your tank... but do rest assured Deltec is one of the best in its class... I recently bought a MCE600 (hang-on type) from a reefer and I am totally impressed by it... the skimming is fantastic!!! Do drop by my tank thread (Percula 90) and you will see a lot of pictures of :sick::sick::sick: skimmates :lol:

So... yes, it will definitely perform better than your current skimmer :D

Jervismum, I respect what you say alot, your the reason I'm very happy, and content with my Teco chiller.

But if you where me, and money no object (we come from the same school of thought) what skimmer would you choose to fit between my baffles?

Thats an open question...

And don't forget my top up device, if you read the thread...

I'll be in Singapore on Friday, to get my Thai visa sorted out.

Shopping time..

P.S Jervisum, i've ready all your posts... and that is saying something...

The deltec 851 can be placed outsump. Which means u can place beside ur chiller or something.

Alternatively, get a beckett.

On the right side of the sump the water level changes, because I don't have an automatic top up device, will that not effect skimmer performance?

I live on Sukhumvit 31, most of my LS are from Phuket Aquarium and a few bits from JJ market. I don't know any other LFS in Bangkok.

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
