Bro, thanks for sharing. Have you gotten the maker yet? me also planning but yet to settle the maker but will need it end of this year or early next year. Yr setup sounds great. For your H, 2.5ft may pose some issues in tank maintenance but if you are tall with long arms, think it should be fine. I have gotten a 1/4 hp for my intended setup and either 851 pr 701 for the skimmer. The rest, will salvage from my existing setup. Can pm me the price and maker. Wanted to have more choice. Thanks.

[ReDDeviLs]

[angelfishlover]

Oh ok i know already.Damn spams coming to tank threads.This has got to be stopped.

[mecedesfish]

I will go for LPS to start with plus tang and hopefully to SPS later.

ReDDevil/Angelfishlover

Impressive equipment but I think you shld re-consider your chiller. 1/4hp seems insufficient, unless you have aircon turn-on in your house most of the time.

wow, high end stuffs, envy envy................

I have a 1/5 and sold it to buy 1/4hp. actually i think hard on having 1/3 plus space constraint.

[mecedesfish]

wow, high end stuffs, envy envy................

with my previous planted tank, i converted it to marine tank. Running with 2 cannister filter and a small red sea Prizm plus air rift. Most of the coral couldn't last long, fishes health was good.

After a long thought, I decided that i should decom the orginal planted tank and up grade to "more pro" marine set up, get some better high end stuff and that most of brothers decom tank, i might get some good bargain and world oil price falling( hopefully SP elect charges will lower down in next year)

Envy.........but you never know that i had learn, paid my tuition from my 1st tank experience................worry that i will fail...

Cheers

Hi there

Great to see you switching from planted... as for me... I've been switching back and forth... what the heck!

Anyway, it's good that you decided to experience LPS first before jumping into SPS.

I think the SPAMs are targeted at you... perhaps you have made some enemies along the way But don't worry... the passion will prevail and besides Reddevil and Angelfishlover, I will be dropping by to contribute too

[mecedesfish]

Here i go again, this was the place that the tank will seat on it.
