SRC Member comycus Posted May 20, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted May 20, 2010 Did I hear MCE600!!?? although 4ft would be pushing the max you can go with this. Especially with heavy stocking. Maybe post a photo of your setup so we can comment better? Quote My old 3ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo77 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Hi, you may wish to check with LCk or Iwarna on NSW top-up for your tank setup. It does help to speed up cycling. Thereafter on water change, it will depend very much on you...salt mix or NSW. For the skimmer, you can consider out-sump skimmer if you have space constraint in your sump. FOr Hang on type, the skimmer cup is usually small unless you modify. Just take the dimension allowed for skimmer and look out the various suppliers to determine which to buy. Do take note on maintenance space. For skimmer, Deltec, Bubble King, New Series Reef Octopus, H&S, Skimz, etc seems good but check out the after sales service. All the best.

Hahahaa... not difficult bro.... inborn... ahahahaa.... ya i will be doing that tmr... getting all the stuff in bit by bit so my CO wont suddenly faint from the cost... ahahaha....

Thanks for your advice bro. Yup am getting Iwarna down to refill my whole tank with new NSW and liverocks. Cycling will start from that point.... skimmer wise i really gotta research abit more, size and pockets to consider about.... ahahahaa Quote :: just a noob :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
