Hi All,

Started a 4 feet tank on May and due to work commitment, have not been taking care of the tank....my bad. The tank was real bad as high nitrate, lots of green algae on the rock and brown algae on the tank. Decided to do something on it after looking at this forums on others reefer beautiful tank.... Great inspiration rolleyes.gif

On April, I purchase this 2nd hand tank from a reefer with built in refigum on the back portion. Initial start up is fun but finding very hard to maintain the correct parameter and nitrate is always on the high side. The back portion is also too small to place a decent skimmer. Therefore decide to "restart" everything.

Recently, download a technical drawing(blueprint) from this forums and decided to DIY a overflow pipe. Then I add a sump tank and a H&S skimmer from a nice reefer, clean and brush the green algae and re-scape the rock too.

Below is some photo(display tank) i took today smile.gif Hope it look okie. Please kindly give some comment. Thanks.

Hi All,

Can someone help as I be shifting office and intent to sell away my tank and other equipment.

Due to low posting, I cant post the items under Classified section.

Anyone can help or is it ok for me to post here?

Maybe you should try posting it in your thread here first.
