Bro need more rocks? I will be selling my old ones.

Currently dun think so lah... :rolleyes: Put more rocks wait later have more space to put corals then spend more money... :eyebrow:

My tank will be only LPS and softies so if put too high may be too bright for the corals since I have 300W of MH lights. Unless I want SPS in future, then I may increase the height of my rockscape.

wah how come never add in first? The LS be affected when u add sand?

Because Victor mixed me up with Chris... :pirate:

He thought I was Chris so Chris didn't want live sand so he didn't bring any... :angry2:

Anyway, he will be putting in the live sand this Thurs. A couple of corals and probably fishes will be added in also. He said adding the live sand won't affect the LS as he will be putting in the live sand gently between the rocks. :unsure:

The star fish is in my nano tank. Corals in my nano tank will be shifted to my main tank bit by bit. Nano tank will in future be a FOWLR tank. Maybe some cheap softies and LPS will be added in future.

I had a 4ft on steel stand for a couple of years. no issues for mine.

Just becareful of saltwater dripping down these stands.

They will corrode the stain and rust stains will spoil the floor tiles.

Need to be more vigilant.

Right now I have a problem with the overflow...Bloody noisy... :eyeblur:

For the rust, I will be spraying WD40 on the rusty areas soon to get rid of the surface rust.

Juz put in two Hydor K2 wavemakers for additional flow.

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
