My JBJ 28G Nano Tank

[seanewbie]

Hi All,

Just wanna share with you and get advises as well for my new setup i did last Saturday...Has been excited buying and gathering all the pieces together..Got some good bargains for tank and chillers from some kind bros here..

Went to coral farm for live rocks shopping and finish off the remaining with shopping at Aquamarin

..and this is where it all began..

[seanewbie]

I honestly did not realise that i need to buy alot of things when Janet/Aquamarin start picking up for me the missing items..

so anyway since i was there...bought live sand,Tunze wavemaker, eheim pumps, test kits etc

[seanewbie]

was drooling when i was at coralfarm with the corals available there...but boh pien...start of with live rocks first

they have a couple of range...from $5kg to $8kg...i took the $8kg range with the choices of most coraline

[seanewbie]

so eager started setting up and as anticipated ...some items short...

luckily it was at 5:30pm....still got time before shop closes...

am glad too that i'm living at Pasir Ris...so rush of to Pasir Ris farm to buy the missing items

Of the things you bought, I would say that some of them might not really be necessary depending on your setup.

[seanewbie]

initially...was looking like this...

brain rusty liao...looking at the small mini "back compartment /"sump"...

and when things started warming up and getting organised ...things went smooth and fast

[seanewbie]

i agree with you peter...but when you see the stuff at Aquamarin...was seh....the last time i went to Aquamarin..the shop was still at Jalan Kayu...

I was away for 2 years and so many changes...

[seanewbie]

You got it cheap man, I thought they sell live rocks at $16 per kg!

I kinda agree with peter. Perhaps you should browse the forums more to check on the latest updates before heading to the shops.

[seanewbie]

Once back home ...and within 2 hours....setup completed !!!

Hahaha... the excitement!

[seanewbie]

Yup digibee....considered cheap after hearing from some of the reefers...

i used to have a 4ftx2ftx2.5ft tank setup before and i went to JB to grab....guess what...it was only at 5RM!!....best thing was...it was cured..been there for more then 3 months..

[seanewbie]

yeah peacemaker.....all i can think off was the tank...wanted to bring them to fast food..like macdonalds...but wanted coffee shop...*sigh...have to wait longer...

[seanewbie]

Some pictures taken...was kinda tough as the tank position and setup needs to focus at 3 sides...so eventually manage to create the landscape as such..

[seanewbie]

Finally....all cloudness...has dissapeared...some pictures just taken

Maybe you can list down the equipment you are using.

nice to see your setup bro.

you finally manage to get your tank

- where did you put the fan arh?

- Also the horizontal rock on the top seems to be blocking the view. if you put corals on top and on the rocks behind, will you be able to see them?

- Also do monitor the chiller's heat dissipation if you place it in the cabinet.

- you are using ceremic rings?

[seanewbie]

Thanks bro! Yes...finally....

Initially was putting the fan inside and the fan blowing towards the cupboard door.. then monitoring...

but realise later that the heat is still present and not circulating well...btw i bought a DYMAX fan..

I then put it at the back of the cupboard as there is already and opening and ledge it there...
