Hi Experts,

I wonder has anyone tried their systems before, they have claimed in their web site they are very low maintenance and needs to change water every 2 -3 mths at only 10% each time? Sounds attractive but I'm rather sceptical, so I wonder if there have been any testimonials here?

Many Thanks,

Huister

i am a proud owner of one of those.

a six feet lenght "picture" wall mounted tank.

Yes, only WC every 2 months with 20 % each time.

Low maintenance, yes.

Thats what got me buying it.

But after few months,

i started being serious about Reefing,

and thats where i realised,

such set up was only meant for the former me,

the me, that was only attracted to the physical appeal of the tank,

rather than the essence of reefing.

And thats where i started reading up more and decided to invest in my RSM tank.

I have a friend who owns one. Within a month, the entire tank is wipe out! Anyway, u may wanna do a bit more research b4 committing it!

Juz my 2 cents!

[jervismun]

There's another reefer who owns one... ended up almost redoing the entire tank after he got more serious into the hobby... you can search for a reefer called ALTANTIS

[speakerphone]

A total rip off!! they claimed no change of water , just top up water !!!!!No need chiller, no need protein skimmer and no need stronger light for coral??? Gosh...

My uncle got not only the tank set from them , but also got tat company to do up the whole hse renovation... For the tank, they kept replacing the fishes with damsels and chromis and claimed tat fishes live span are unpredictable In the end, my uncle took them to CASE and managed to get some justice back

don't be fooled by the slick marketing. That's all it is. The short version of why the tank doesn't work for marine is that it emphasizes NO MAINTENANCE EXCEPT WATER TOP UP. That is total bollocks. If you believe that, I have an old bath tub for sale to you.

I used to own a tank and the fish kept dying. Salesperson kept giving me crap like "fish came with cyanide poisoning" etc etc. Finally sick of their nonsense, I went to change the tank and now my fish and corals are living happily.

The key problems with an Atlantis tank:

(1) No proper waste removal mechanism. There is no provision for skimmers, which are generally held to be the single most important piece of equipment for marine tanks. The Atlantis tanks only have filter wool and coral chips, which build up nitrate in the tanks and eventually lead to fatality for livestock. However, BY THE TIME IT HAPPENS, you would have had the tank for a few weeks, and the Atlantis guy can then say that it is not their fault, and blame you for the problem.

(2) No chiller or temperature control mechanism. Unless you intend to keep fish only (and hardy ones like damsels and chromis), your livestock will suffer inside an Atlantis tank which will generally be around 29-31 deg because of Singapore room temperatures. Corals will not survive at such temperatures.

(3) Insufficient lighting. Atlantis generally gives rubbish PL lighting, mine came with 1xwhite PL and 1xblue (not actinic) PL. This is nonsense for keeping corals. You will probably have more luck trying to grow plants using your handphone light than growing corals with those rip-off light fixtures.

(4) Insufficient flow. The tiny return pump for Atlantis tanks hardly generate any flow in the tank. Detritus remains firmly stuck to the bottom and there are many dead spot areas in the tank that contribute to algae growth and coral death.

(5) Most importantly, NON-EXISTENT AFTER SALES SERVICE. When your fish die, just try to contact Atlantis. You will get nothing but excuses.

[XPeriment 626]

chill dude. "I have an old bath tub for sale" is just an expression. I don't really have an old bath tub for sale and even if I did I wouldn't sell it for keeping fish. Lighten up. Nobody's attacking you personally.

U chill urself n lighten up urself dude not me u r the dude.

[southpaw23]

Storm Tropper...i believe you should be the one that needs to chill. You obviously took the bathtub statement the wrong way. And i believe Xperiment has clarified that it's just a figure of speech.

So don't get so worked up....

[STORM TROPPER]

let it rest southpaw don add sugar anymore.

[lum_13101]

Aiya.. i think Bro Storm understand the BATH TUB meaning..

let the thread be at peace and HAPPY REEFING

Chill down guys. The topic of this thread has already made make "Atlantis" tank owner very frustrated and at lost too.

Wat we want to learnt from here is tat there's no such thing as a tank set up with jus a mere simple rtn pump, no skimmer, with jus FL lights and sump tank and no chiller And tat ur corals and fishes will live a ripe old age with their systems Wat a miracle tank !!!

My uncle paid a whopping sum of $4800 for the 4 ft tank with cabinet and fish has been dying non stop Instead of enjoying the marvels of a marine tank, it has become a graveyard for fishes and corals in the tank. My Uncle has been cursing non stop. But wat to do, he chose the company for the setup So do ur homework if u are deciding to get a tank setup, best recommended to get reputatable LFS to do. Those renovation contractor, to me knows nothing abt reefing accept their hammers and nails

[Nitro]

Hmmm... Anyway to salvage those tanks that are already sitting in some of our reefers' home?

I'm just thinking out aloud. With all the new gadgets around for the marine hobbiest, I think don't really have to replace the Alantis tank unless one is talking abt upgrading to a bigger or down grading to a smaller one. Can just add a sump tank with marine equipments or with a DSB etc, and run some piping work with chiller or fan, right? If DIY, I'm sure can save money, then can use it to buy more corals/fishes

Any other thoughts to share?
