Finally decided to get RSM, after more than one week searching what is the best tank that I can put at 2 feet space in my living room. After exploring custom made tank possibilities, Aquamedic tanks, and ready made tanks in QH, I decided to go for Red Sea Max comes with cabinet to house my chiller, FR, and UV. I like the quality and finishing of the tank but the cabinet kinda flimsy....

Skimmer is working fine but realising so many tiny bubbles sometime. I use Hydor Pico 600 l/hr at skimmer overflow chamber to create turbulance, well it's working bubble became tinier and lesser. Tday wet skimmate due to feeding with Harry Reef Food......it skims like crazy after it.

Thanks for the compliments, still in learning curve. I have one bleached red prata, one bleached small brown prata, and injured my cat eye bubble when transerring to this new tank. The red prata had been bleached more than one month even when it was in my old tank, so far it still survive I hope it can recover so far it had been slow progress.

I will take somemore photo tomorrow, just added 2 SPS and 2 small Crocea from Iwarna today.

It will be my first attempt to keep SPS, acro and monti? (I am not sure it has purple tip).

My sand bed about 7 cm thick, I use the argonite from the starter kit with additional 2 kg Hawaii Puka Shell #10 & 2 kg Australia Gold Puka Shell.

The crushed shell is from the Hawaiian puka.

No plan for upgrade, very happy and satisfy with my RSM. The only grouse is the QH never stock spare parts for this tank. I need standby skimmer pump and lights, but it seems they are not available. Also the customer service from QH is crap big time.....

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
