Here is the update of my FTS after minor re-scaping during the weekend... I removed some unwanted rocks and use them to create a little mountain in front to house new SPS brought during the weekend..

Spot the different??

I thought I was in RC for a moment as these things like lightset comparison are usually done with our western reefers. Thumbs up for the review!

Was contemplating to upgarde to a bigger tank when I saw this 8 footer laying in a warehouse few months back:

post-16749-0-96812500-1317136929_thumb.j

It was a really good buy - $500 + moving cost (the transport fee was more than double the tank cost)...

But after several considerations and in discussion with some reefing buddies... finally decided to call off the plan...

It was too risky to get a second hand big tank (especailly anything above a 6 footer)...no joke!! You are talking about 2 tons of water weight plus live rocks, sand... It was also very diffcult to transfer everything from a 6 footer to a 8 footer including re-fitting the compressor chiller, lightings, and re-scaping - all to be done within a day or so... :thumbdown:

So, decided to take a easier approach - enhancing the existing tank..and I could do this one step at a time.. :thumbsup:

Frist,

Replacing two HM light reflectors... two only because can only find these two in Pasar Malam section here:

post-16749-0-92110700-1317139315_thumb.j

Second,

I had also replaced the moonlight with 2 x 3 feet Royal Blue LED lights (facing the front tank) and 2 x spot Blue LED lights (facing the back tank)... :thumbsup:

The moonlight will light up every night after 11:30 pm and light off 10:30 am the next morning.. :yahoo:

ya... actually for your place, plan carefully and "combined" all your tanks! :)

Actually I did a measurement... the 8 footer fit in just nice in the centre of the room.. just that the risk of replacing and moving the 8 footer....overcome the excitment of upgrading.. <_<

post-16749-0-57995300-1317140670_thumb.j

I had also considered re-arranging a "L" share with my existing 6 footer and 4 footer.. also consider a fish room behind the main tank... but then, I like the existing arrangment and the 360 degree view most... which technically spreaking a 12 footer (6 footer front and 6 footer back)...ha...ha... :groupwavereversed:

I had replaced my tank hood so that it can open from both ends now - this allows me to do maintenance from the front view of the tank as well as the back side of the tank.. :thumbsup:

post-16749-0-10222900-1317221375_thumb.j

I had also added 2 x 6 feet T5 lights on top of the hood to provide supplementary blue lights.

However, since one 6 feet T5 light set is made up of 8 x 39W (with two power switches), to safe additional utility bill, I only turn on two row of lights from the two light sets.

post-16749-0-94935700-1317222728_thumb.j

Instead, I added one more 6 feet LED light to cover the back side of the tank. This proved to be engry and $$$ saving as the 1 LED light set only required 48W as compared to the T5 of 156W (if only two rows lights are turn on).

post-16749-0-12789400-1317221748_thumb.j

The LED light is also a testing approach to see the effects on the corals and hopefully a future replacement for the T5 and the MH lights. :P

As you may know, I am using Zeovit method and its related products to keep my tank at accetable low nutrient level and to maintain the colour of various SPS. This method required straight disciplines and regualr dosing and checking of water parameters. It was really a challenge for me to keep up with the reefing routines with constant travelling and work commitements. As such, I initially purchsed a 3-channel dosing pumps to help me cut down some dosing routines.

By now I have acquired and installed a total of 10 channels to free me from doing all the rountine dosing tasks, as such allow me to have more time to enjoy the corals and fishes as well as spend time with family.

post-16749-0-53198700-1317276707_thumb.j

I have also cut down the testing and checking of water parameters now except when I feel something is not right. I am now checking the water parameters such as KH, CA, MG by observing the ploy extentions and colour of certain SPS and by looking at PH/ORP reading from the computer as and when as I feel like it.

post-16749-0-85104900-1317277544_thumb.j

The only routine I still need to do is the pumping of the Zeovit reactor (hate it :thumbdown: ), dosing of Zeobak (twice a week) and change of NSW (every two week). I hope in the near future I can cut down the routine of Zeobak dosing and pumping of Zeovit Reactor by slowly converting to Bio Pallets or Volka method (where dosing can be automated). As to changing of NSW, I hope my water parameters can be matured and constant enough that I can doing water change once a months or once a blue moon... :thumbsup:

wahh... 10 dosing pumps!! next time will do that :)

Bro, if you are a disciplined person or perfectionist, 10 channel is still not enough... :agreed:

Think about others dosing items such as Iodide, iron, 5-in-1 coral food, etc.. the list go on and go... :cheers:

:idea: another way you can increase the dosing channel without buying additional dosing pumps is to use the "T" joint to connect the two(or even three)feeding tubes/pipes. Of coz, that provided that you can mix or dose the liquid together - which I think not an issue most of the time... ;)

hi clee123..Nice tank! i notice your dosing mgcl is 500g/ 500L? No epsom? where you store the DI mix?

Hi Tropic,

Yes for easy mixing of Magnesium Chloride with DI/distilled water (as well as for other items such as P+ and CA except KH), I set a basedline for easy reference and calculation.. I usually buy the Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2 x 6H2O) in pure form from Iwarna..Normally I mix 1 kg of MG with 10L of DI/distilled water and store in a 10L Jerry can contrainer (you can check out from my previous page 8 of this thread for the picture).. However all the contrainers are now moved into the bottom of the tank cabinet.. :ThanxSmiley:

      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
