First Setup of Tank

[comycus]

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?

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.

hahaha.... my goodness.. you've caught up with our nonsense so fast!! siao liao..

why dun you take a measurement of the space you have and approach the LFS to see it they have a suitable skimmer??

alternatively you may like to consider HOB skimmers.. Deltec HOB skimmers are getting very good reviews!

Hahahaa... not difficult bro.... inborn... ahahahaa....

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
