IMM ATANT#S

[francess17]

Dear all,

Like many members here, I became a huge sucker for marine fishes!

I was first introduced to Atlantis tank...the wall mounted 6ft...

ordered it due to convenience and physical appearance.

It's been 9mths..tank is hopeless...i spent $1300+ on this tank,

and spent another $1500 to replenish the LS. Can u imagine how many poor fishes had died..

allow me to list down the negative features of the tank

- Insufficient circulation

- Waste trapped at the bottom creating massive built-up..thus nitrite

- weak lighting

- pump very weak

- (bacteria storage) Coral Chip minumum..insufficient cultivation of friendly bact

- not forgetting poor after sales service..

I have to say all above mentioned are genuine..

all bro and sis pls dun fall for their sales speech..

they will say something like:-

-we fix alot of tank in alot of properties in Sentosa Cove

-Our fishes with us for 2-3yrs...(but their fishes always change in IMM, guess all RIP)

-yrs of reputation

So far, alot of modification has been done.

-Protein Skimmer

-fan fixed to lower temp

-ammonia filter to inprove water quality

-introduced BIO HOME to improve water quality

-introduced Bacteria powder

-install wavemaker to boost circulation

-water change 20% every week

Bros, Do u think it's enough??

Atlantis boss will tell u it's all wrong..and blah blah blah

requested to tear down, they will.." GIVE US A CHANCE, ALSO GIVE URSELF A CHANCE, I WILL ASK MY GUY TO REVAMP FOR YOU"

Next day, a gal call up...ask me to revamp...must pay money...the most give me some rebate!!!

I rejected everything flat...only ask to tear it down,

conclusion, they quoted me $120 for tearing it down without plastering the wall...

The only thing in my mind was WTF

so,

Dear guys, dun fall for those foolish sales talk by them...like me

else $$ gone, fish gone...trauma sets in..

AND I AM SURE I AM NOT ALONE...

COULD ANY MEMBERS HERE SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH AT*ANT#S IMM

I understand wat you went thru brother. Had a atlantis system in my office last time.

Everytime, i walked passed their shop at IMM, i m attracted by their corals and fishes. Anybody would also.

The problem with them is that, they give very basic equipments and lightings which is no way can sustain for long.

Fishes keep dying and corals melting away and they charge you premium to replenish your stocks.

I visited this shop a couple of times too. Wall mounted tank goods great initially. However with that size of filtration, it will not be able to cope for Marine. Maybe fresh water tank will work.

For new reefer whom wants to come into this hobby, talk to more senior reefer (not me...ha ha ) for advice.

Hi bro, dun giv up hope. I am also having the wall mount tank. Yes, so far you can't keep fantastic corals or fishes, but I m into modding it to make it work. No point complain to the boss since we already paid for the product. So just keep improving... reading the experts reefer here too motivate and inspire me to make my tank work.

At least, improving and modding the tank keeps me occupied during my free time and de-stress me from my work. If the stuff I modded work, there is a sense of achievement and satisfaction. You can check out my thread in the members tank post... it may not be the most fantastic tank, at least take pride in the time and effort spent to make things happen....

Cheers

If you do watch chinese drama serials at Channel 8 and Channel U, they are a frequent sponsor and you can see their wall mounted marine tanks in the shows. No wonder so many people got attracted by the concept...freshwater shd be ok, but IMO, not for marine setup.
