So you were the one who bought it! Nice catch!

Hmmm... you should have kept your girlfriend's live rocks a month ago... those were pretty good IMO.

Ya i was the guy who bought it. Haiz but this time busted my budget again. It has already cost me alot to set up another new tank and i told myself i wont be spending anymore, but i couldnt resist when i saw the deal. What was worse was that i had actually just bought a brand new Giesemann bracket last week for abt a hundred bucks, and now i have one spare. If only the set was on sale earlier........ :pirate::pinch:

As for the liverocks, its alright la. Glad you liked them anyway. :)

Ok last thing for today. I tested the parameters for the NSW that was used for this tank.

Of course, only certain parameters were tested, and the results were still ok, as it could have fared better in some departments i feel. :rolleyes:

KH - 6.1

Ammonia - 0

Nitrite - 0

Phosphate - 0.1

Nitrate - 0.2

Calcium - 380

Will be trying to correct the deficient areas before the live stock goes in!! :D

magnesium must test oso bro, n boost the KH up a little more to about 8~9. Good choice on the lightings, MH bulb how old and wat spectrum? 10k 12k or 20k?

Thanks for the advice bro!

I will be looking to boost up the KH soon. As for the magnesium, i have the test kit la, but lazy to test yesterday leh. Will do it when i can again.

The MH used will be Hamilton 14K. But i doubt i will be using MH though. Will stick to just 4 T5s for now..... :)

Here is a picture of my tank with the new rockscape.

This will be a prata, zoas and most importantly, acanthastrea lordhowensis dominated tank..... B)

Ok i think that will be my last piece of equipment for this tank.

Trying to minimise stuff and keep things simple. I'll also try to stick to my initial goal for this tank, which is to make it as hassle free with as little maintenance as possible.

That'll equate to me having to keep LPS and softies and avoid SPS. Also, fishes will be kept to a minimum so as to maintain a low bio-load. This way, i hope i'll only have to change filter wool and clean the glass every few days la..... :rolleyes: (2 high maintenance tanks will kill me!)

Anyway here is my finalised list of equipments for this tank:

Return Pump: Eheim 1262

Skimmer: Deltec APF600

Lights: Giesemann Infiniti 4x24W + 1x150W

Chiller: Arctica OEM 1/3HP (Daeil Fish Cooler)

Wavemaker: Vortech MP20

FR: Reef Octopus PHR-100 Reactor (Rowaphos)

Water Top Up: JBJ ATO with external reservoir

That'll be all for this tank i guess!! ^_^
