Noticed there lots of bubbles from the return pipe of skimmer. Izit normal and izit ok?

Was told bcos tank havent fully started cycling and skimmer havent fully kick in yet.

The big empty space in the middle of sump is for isolation of fishes or maybe refugium. But since no chiller and temp can be quite high mite kiv refugium idea 1st and use it for isolation of fishes.

Wow.... GREAT tank setup! Btw, with such great setup, why not get the aquatronica controller to manage your system? It will be easier to manage your tank with the controller as it provide expandability and the power bar is better then using those normal 6 point plug!

Juz my 2 cents!

Bro MAG, I'm not sure if it is recommended to put powerstrip at the hood to connect the lightings. IMHO, i recommend the cables to run somewhere the salt content will not get into the plug.

As you know the evaporation and the hood, bracing of the tank always have collection of salt content, i'm just afraid that the power strip might not be able to last long enough as the contact points and cables inside are copper. Also you might want to ask the hinges are stainless steel. For the hydrolic arm, it will tend to rust and in time it need to get replace. That what i experience time to time.

I'm getting my tank fix first then will also start posting the doing up process. Also asking my contractors to do up all the stainless steel hinges.

Lets meet up sometime and discuss more... i've got my aquatronica and can't wait to get it fix in the new tank.
