Hi Steve

Notice all your power sockets are just above your sump. This could be dangerous and salt spray can be very corrosive and in no time there might be electrical short circuit within the power block. I had my tank burnt down in 2006 making this mistake (former tank been run from 1995). Very costly experience beside need to clean up the floor as it flood my hall.

Here's what I do to my tank now (setup since 2007):-

1. Place the power block as far as possible from the sump.

2. All pumps cables, skimmer cables...etc are run into cable tubes if possible.

3. Regular maintenance on the equipment include the power block by cleaning them with dry cloth.

Just my 2 cents.

hi steven,

i find that you will need larger rocks for that kind of tank size. what do you think?

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

so far after think and see around no other place can place the power block so what i do is to install a fan to on when the cabinet is in the warm period

so like this it'll prevent any evaporation to go the the power or metal area

i'll also do as what u said cleaning up and proper maintanace of the equipment is important

now my next project will be DIY a wavebox with a Resun DC pump

1.) It'll have the timer for interval on off by speed control (How frequent of the wave)

2.) Have a min of 4 stage of flow rate ( To have a different weak to strong wave)

it a 15000L/H pump DC 24v

yes it already come with a controller but u only able to control the interval of time delay on each mode

so u cannot choose to stay at which mode

that the reason need to mod it however i still remain the original mode as and when i i wish to use

with extra future i add on a timer to each mode so i can simulate the ocean like of high to low tide in every 6hrs changes
