Agree that its a really nice tank, but curious on where u place your equipments...

[peacemaker]

Wow... looks great! I'm curious too about your equipment... care to share with us some pics on your setup?

Oh forgot to add:

basically i create a overflowbox and stick it with silicone and put 3 pumps inside

1 for skimmer(aquabee 2000i), 1 for fluidizer(1300lph pump) 1 for chiller (2000lph)

Wavemaker in the tank:

hydor K1,k2, koralia nano, and output from chiller pump..

here some pictures to get u the idea..

problems now i still have some algae although reading was almost zero for nitrates and 0 phospate(salifert)

Happy Reefing..

Interesting... thanks for the pics!

Interesting... thanks for the pics!

Solid stuff!!!

I wonder where can i buy cheap FR? Mine also sumpless.

[vt_snowman87]

can see the amount of dedication put in to maintain this sumpless tank, very nice indeed..

[juuniz]

i have one major disaster when chiller failed to run, cost me some corals but all the fish survived..

hopefully my SPS will grow fast..

Maintainance:

changing water with syntetic salt every 2 weeks for about 40L

SR, Iodine, using aquapharm additive

Kalkwasser for top up

Feeding using marine snow, cyclopeeze, selcon, and chopped shrimp for sunnies..

Bro, maybe the return from the FR should also go back to the main tank instead of the overflow. Mine is adopting the same concept as it is also sumpless. My chiller and FR return all go back to main tank...

[juuniz]

ic, will try to fix it..

[angelfishlover]

oh lol mine is also same problem as in put the pipe near the FR pump.Lol must buy longer pipe already.

[Golden Tooth]

Nice tank... Great job...

[juuniz]

thank you

[Earth]

oh lol mine is also same problem as in put the pipe near the FR pump.Lol must buy longer pipe already.

My rationale of putting all the return pipes from the equipment back to the main tank is to increase the flowrate of the water entering the overflow compartment and hence you will be filtering/ chilling more water from your main tank....

Very pack tank and like the way u arrange ur corals Wats ur light spectrum and operating hrs ?

[raydiative]

wow.. amazing!! the tank is looking absolutely wonderful..

many gems you have there! can try placing all the sun corals together to form a sunny corner! hahah =]

bro i have the same prob with u.. no3 and po4 almost 0..algea still grow..y ah.

[juuniz]

im sure there is still some PO4 (salifert can't detect low level of PO4)..

will try to get DD tester but it's very2 expensive
