After spending 3 days to clear my tank, shift my tank and redo everything, now is time to start a new thread on mine tank.

Bought some gadgets from Katong AM today.

[dominik]

Drilled 12 holes at the side of my tank which will join with a new cabinet.

the new cabinet will house the chiller and refugium.

Wrong, same tank different look.

[dominik]

yesterday my additional cabinet and refugium were delivered, however i rejected them.

the tank was not of right thickness and does not have the bracing on the top.

the cabinet was missing of one hole at the back. somemore the workmanship very poor. it will be the one and only time i will order anything from them.

[dominik]

Finally after some hipcup, the cabinet had arrived. Spent a few days to hook up everything.

[dominik]

Connect the refugium with a super low flow.

These are my 4 heavenly kings of ny tank.
