New chapter for 6ft

[stevenkoh08]

for sure i'll update to see how it goes with the LED lighting but so far still a long way to go

[stevenkoh08]

by the way i still intend to add another few more packet of sand

[qwertman321]

bro if im not wrong , the water is going to be siphon from below the tank?

if so , return pump spoilt it will siphon the water level to the bottom level of the tank

[stevenkoh08]

no bro the siphon is done by a ball valve i'll only siphon out when i wanted to

[MOssrope]

nice tank! do filled it up to give us more inspiration for a 6footer too..

i see u have gather all your past experience into this error-proof tank.

There's even a plenum! I cant remember to add so much things if i were to make a new tank now.

cause i think i got a fail memory

[stevenkoh08]

ya true have try alot of error before like tank crash (or something related)

So best is to do more read up here and else where also

i'll also ask bro here to learn and share exp

for setup is abit of here and there with the idea of mix and match to have something of my own

this setup seem like great but how it going to be still unknown

but i've confident it'll work just as great as others doing (Trying to push some moral up)

[stevenkoh08]

after 2days rinse of the sand bed it milky water now going to do another rinse again for another 2days

Bro are those the final rocks you gonna use for your scaping. If so, I am afraid to tell you that the effect may not turn out as good. I found out that hard way, constantly buying different rocks to try out. From my experience, to get the best effect, you do not need many rocks, instead, get the biggest rocks you can find that you can find and stack them together. The big rocks each have their own unique shapes, looks good when place alone and when stack together they give very natural look. Little rocks stack together do not create much caves and look like un- natural abit like LEGO piling together.

Right now, RB has very nice and huge live rocks for sale. They are curing the rocks right now, and you may want to look into that.

Hope that helps
