Hi,

My new tank, doing leak test:

[primeprime]

DIY a Refugium:

Cut off the vinyl off the back of the 2nd chamber:

Install an external light (with Cool Daylight):

Light in 2nd chamber:

Live Rock Scaping:

Back Chambers:

1st Chamber - DIY 3 Layers Filter Media Rack:

Top layer - Filter Wool (This catches the solid waste, replace weekly when doing water change)

Middle layer - AquaPharm PUR-II

Bottom layer - AquaPharm SORB-4

2nd Chamber:

Add live rock, bio-home & chaeto:

3rd Chamber:

Change stock pump to an Maxi-Jet 1200

Change to Hydor FLO Deflector on the output of the water from the pump

Use stock pump for mini chiller

Hi bro,

Where did you get your mini chiller? How much? Is it effective? Care to share.....

[peacemaker]

I've tried something similar with the chaeto, but due to low flow it didn't work out too well. Also, once the glass starts getting dirty, less light penetrates. Pls keep us posted on how your chaeto is doing.

Not satisfy with the water temperature, decide to remove all internal pumps:

- Maxi-Jet 1200, Flow Rate: 1100 L/h, power consumption: 14 watt

- Stock Pump, Flow Rate: 1000 L/h, power consumption: 9 watt

Connect Maxi-Jet 1200 externally:

Food containers elevate equipments for better air circulation, as well as shorten the water hose.

Shift back furniture to hide equipments:

As expected, flow in the tank weaken a lot (after switching to external pump).

Thinking of getting a low energy consumption wave wave maker.

What do you think about Hydor Korolia Nano?

Flow Rate: 900 L/h

Power Consumption: 4.5 watt

Any advice?

Think for small wave maker, not much choice in the market. U must have been eating outside with so many food container...hehehe

Hi bro,

yea bro! can share?

[casperice]

I saw these chillers in polyart Clementi, same row as C328. Din ask the price though but tempted.

Can share whats your water temp now?

Think for your tank can go for Koralia 1. My tank 15G only using K Nano liow and current is just nice.

[primeprime]

After switching to external pump, the temp is 27 to 28.5 degree.

But that's what I've monitored for the past one day.

Need to monitor further.

Can't decide between:

1) Hydor Korolia Nano - Flow rate: 900L/h Power Consumption: 4.5W

2) Hydor Koralia K1 - Flow rate: 1500L/h Power Consumption: 4.5W

Logically should be K1, but Nano so cute!

Thanks!

Its ok but think you should get K1 its better in terms of 24 gallon...

[peacemaker]

I'm using a nano and the flow is barely sufficient for my 1.5 ft tank. K1 will be better.

This was taken from AM's forum.

However, since you're planning to keep SPS, I'm not sure if this is sufficient.
