My first try to marine

[hk75]

Hi guys,

Am very new to marine. Need all expert here to guide me along.

Previously was into planted tank. No sump and running on canisters.

Here a photo of my previous planted tank.

Cant resist those chio coral & fish, so started to read read read and finally decided to give it a try.

Tear down my planted tank, did some DIY overflow pipe and order a sump.

Got serveral resale items from nice bros here

1) Deltec skimmer apf 600,

2) Tunez 6060 wavemaker,

3) Skimz FR

4) live rocks

5) light brackets

Got everything hookup and tank was fill up with NSW by pacific reef, nice guys who deliver the nsw to my house on 27 Jun 09

Here a shot of my tank running in 2 weeks back.

Reefzzz, Ahsiang,

Thanks for the support.

Currently need to tackle the low KH and CA problem. Any good idea/product how shld i go about it.

Nice setup.

I think one 6060 wavemaker seem not enuff..Maybe you can add in another wavemaker.

[albinosage]

Wow, very nice set up and scaping for a first try, can't wait to see what you have planned

[yongshun]

like ur rockscape bro!

[ambystoma82]

kinda of long...

[hk75]

I have 2 return, main return with eheim 1262 and chiller return 1260. Sufficient?

have a hard time placing the 6060.

Any recommendation to add on?

haha, bro, thats the Skimmer return. did shorten the hose already

Due to the low cabinet, i cant fit any skimmer into the sump.

So skimmer is deploy out of sump beside my tank.

Anyone could advise and guide me how to raise KH and CA

I am having hard time to raise the KH and CA as well.

But recently i realise that the mg was too low.

As raised up the mg, KH and CA also raised up after few time dosage.

[hk75]

thanks bro, will check my MG too.

Maybe u can add in another tunze 6060 or 6105 or maybe mp40w.

becos flow from return pump will reduce after going thru all the piping.

Just my view.
