Hi Folks,

Been a while since i started up this tank of mine. To be exact, 8.5 mths old. Has not been easy, constantly battling against all sorts of problems and till today, trying hard to maintain the tank in pristine condition. It has been a worthwhile and knowledgable journey. Hence would like to share my joy with fellow reefers in this forum. Anyway here are the specifications:

Tank Size : 4 x 1.5 x 1.5 (with 2 x 1 x 1 Sump)

Skimmer : Skimz SM150

Chiller : Hailea HC 300A

FR : Adv Reef on Rowa phos.

Lights : 6 x T5 54W on ATI (3 x aquablue special & 3 x blue plus)

Wavemaker : Hydor Wavemaker 4 with Kor 5 and 3

Return pump : Eheim 1264 (Share with Chiller)

Supplements : Manual dose with Grotech Ca/Kh/Mag, Aquapharm Strontium, iodide & Trace elements.

Kalkwasser : Aquapharm Kalkwasser with DIY Drip

Top-up : Iwarna's Top-up

Carbon : Aquapharm Pur-II

Nitrate Remover : AZ NO3

My Tank is not in superb condition and i welcome any feedback or comments.......

Will be posting the pics in just a bit......

Tank Size: 3 x 3 x 2 with 3.5ft cabinet

Very nice tank bro.. For 8.5 months, I think it's decently stocked, not over stocked at all haha.

My 1.5ft nano cube

My 24G nano tank (Decommed)

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

Just to share a FTS taken more than 2 months ago which i think was really packed. Sadly some of the sps, birdnest in particular fell off the 'cliff' and never recover. Some of the LPS were given away...
