Project Reef: Ocean's Three

[redmushroom]

Looks good. At least only 37 pails. The last time I filled up my tank with DI water, took me 3 days cos the flow was really slow.

Nice looking but probably need more rocks to fill it up nicely.

Haha, those were only some rocks that you saw bro. I've got much more now in the tank, and i'll be posting the pics up once my gf completes the scaping on saturday.

Meanwhile, they're just placed loosely all over the tank. Stay tuned for more pics!

Hey guys, was just wondering..... do turbo snails eat detritus?

I realized that my sump tank will surely accumulate some detritus at the bottom no matter what, and thought that it'd be good to have some cleaning crew to keep the bottom of my sump clean.

[Salty_Creature]

Not sure about Snail eating detritus or not but hermit crabs will do. My hermit crabs even eating my snail shit..!

Decided to connect and run my Skimz FR last night.

Here's a closer look on the Eheim's specs.

Consumes only 11W. Not bad at all.

My gf stole a shot of me fixing up the FR.

Flawless and smooth back i have...haha.

[redmushroom]

Next, it was time for the scaping of my tank.

Last night was LR-scaping and fix-up-FR day.

Here's my gf hard at work.

Am so blessed to share the same enthusiasm......

[redmushroom]

Haha.... finally i had to do my fair share of work too.

She got tired and it was now my turn to display my creativity... or lack of?!

Guys pls note, this is a temporary lighting from my current 2ft used only for the scaping to allow more visibility.

Tank will be covered in darkness till my T5 arrives next week.

[redmushroom]

Finally completed after 3 hours of hard, back-breaking work.

But i am quite satisfied with my results.

What do you say guys?

[redmushroom]

Cleaned the neck of my BM 250's collection cup.

No skimmate yet, probably due to the low loading now... but still... here's what i got after wiping it.

Hmmm..... i will be adding a new Hydor Koralia 3 and a old Seio 620 from my previous set-up soon.

Step by step mah, slow and steady.

Hope that can suffice.

Haha thanks alot bro KennethK, i actually hand-picked them from all over the island.

Hope it looks good tho'. All the scaping that day was back-breaking.

[redmushroom]

Thanks for the compliment bro dominik!

I believe all the reefers here are too busy with the fishes for me to be worried.

[Bio528]

bro, i think you should rotate the piping of your fr cos you should take the water from before the last compartment and discharge in the last compartment where your return pump is, then the cycle of turnover won't be that much of a waste.

my 2cents.

[redmushroom]

Haha sorry bro...... not much updates for now, since my tank is still in the cycling stage.

Its going to be about 3 weeks now, so let's see how the tank has progressed when i put it to the test (Salifert).

Stay tuned for new updates very soon!!
