Upgrading from 3ft to 4&1/2ft tank

[yiocs]

The tank after it is complete, new and old water from the 2 years old tank was run for one month with some new and old live rocks... The fish was transfered first into the tank and after a few week I transfer my coral from the old tank one at a time. So that the new system can adapt to the increase load.

kinda cool~ nice tank u got!

Yeah very neat built-in setup... just one question... how come I see a lot of black cables around the Tunze Stream corner? BB... interesting

[yiocs]

The front view of the tank...

[fishtalk1517]

U using white silicon for the glass tank? Did u consider to use the black silicon in the first place or is it ur preferrences of choice?

[yiocs]

I think all those cable are from the tunze stream... dont know how to hide those cable...

hmmm.

could do with more LR, the big ones. get a rocky ridge scape...

juz a thought..

very very very nice setup!

think i might be doing something like that. but no money to do so. guess will be DIYing. haha

[big_ben102000]

very nice setup i agree with bro colin .. need more LR

[yiocs]

I DIY most part of the setup... it is fun but can be frustrating sometime when thing didnt work the way it is supposed to. It happen countless time in my setup... leaking been the most common problem...

[yiocs]

I prefer the clear silicon... but does using black silicon make any different?

[colinsoon]

leakages is a very common problem faced when DIY-ing setups. i had a elbow which leaked non-stop, even after i emptied like half a can of PVC glue onto it. its still seeping out at a rather slow rate.

anyway think i saw a chocolate chip starfish. its not exactly reefsafe...

[yiocs]

Is this the one that is not reef safe?

[yiocs]

but i find this one more of a danger to my reef... it is too big and keep knocking off my coral...

[colinsoon]

its the first one i guess...

read it somewhere its not reef safe. tahts why i din get it. even though i like it a lot...

[WaNeR]

chocolate chip star fish aint reef safe

will eat ur corals

[jervismun]

yupe... the first pix... confirm not reef safe

[acidjazz]

dude. . ur rock scape will trap a lot of debris. . . try to blow one tunze into the rocks since u are not using a sand bed anyway.

p.s. Iwarna's sps display tank is also bare-bottom and it has 2 tunzes to blow debris on the bottom.
