Hi guys,

My long awaited tank is finally here...

its been a lpong one month wait. The Tank was delivered and assembled yesterday morning.

The attached is the tank shot... with sand already poured in. Thursday will get Irwana to bring the NSW, and then i will start cycling...

As i will be taking over some live rocks from a friend, and i already have 2 kgs of Bio Homes sitting in his tank for the last month, i hope i can shorten the cycling time...

will update later...

Hee hee... Thanks Guys,

I'm using MCE 500 for the skimmer. The return pump is a ehiem 1262.

I got a Arctica 1/10 chiller in the store room, still deciding whether to plug it in.

The Maxspect 110w LED lights is on its way, shoudl get to me by end of this month (hopefully).

I still hunting for a second hand Gen 2 MP 20 or 40 wavemaker. If anyone has one to sell, please PM me...

Otherwise i think my equipment is pretty much there... I'll save up some dough to add another MCE 500 much later...

Now the number 1 thing is to get the live rocks, get some NSW and get the cycling on its way.

Hmmm.. no plans for it... Perhaps get a potted plant or something...

It would be a nice idea if i can get a salt water plant and extend the roots to the sump tank.. that way it becomes a nitrate remover and it improves the aesthetic of the tank...

anyone know can money plant survive in salt water?

I used to have money plant sticking out of my FW tank to suck in the nitrate. Its really good... the FW tank can go through 2 years without changing water.

i can't do a mangrove refugium coz i don't want to have to put lights in the sump tank area.

Anyway, Irwana guys are coming to top up the tank this evening. I shoudl be able to give another update by tomorrow.... ha ha... exciting!

ha ha... i be honest with you... the chiller is still hiding in the storeroom. The moment i take it out, i know my better half will scream at me! i promised her that there will not be a chiller for the tank!

i'm still trying to get someone to take it from me and pretend to give it to me as a birthday present....

so how to try? Stop Laughing... I'm weak...

he hee... to be fair to the bro who sold it to me... he did give me a good price for a chiller that has only been running for 3 months. As far as i can see, the chiller is brand new.

But telling her it is $80, a bit hard lah.. let's just say, i've been caught lying too many times... hahahah she knows me inside out... that's why she is the better half...

Some Problem

The Skimmer... I don't know how to use! can someone give me some details?

Also, my tank down pipe (from tank to sump) the water is gushing down very fast, it creates a lot of noise. I have already tried using 3 stacks of wool at the landing, and i cable tied a wool around the pipe... but it is still noisy.

The return pump is a Ehiem 1262. It is also giving out some sort of vibration... how do you guys reduces the noise of the gushing water?

thanks in advance

      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
