Dominik's ComeBack Tank

[dominik]

Wah ball rolling liao good to see bro, just a little feedback on the SUNSUN wave maker, office setup had 2pcs all 2 had their impellor rods corroded within 4mths of usage and broke. Pump started making rattling noise after that and jammed. Hope u have better luck with yours.

thanks for the warning. the sunsun was selling at $20 a piece so give it a try.

Nope, the lights are the 2x80W T5 blue light.

This is the colour lamp blue light.

I have added some rocks. Thanks to ist for his rocks. (pic under T5 blue light)

During the adding of freshwater to fill up my 5 footer, saw a hitchrider - a normal pistol shrimp(carrying eggs somemore) that came running out of the liverocks. I thought it will not survive the 2 hour freshwater dip before i addded salt to the tank. Today, after 4 days, i saw it digging a hole at the side of my left tower. Hope it will survive the cycling period and it be will become my first occupant of the tank.

View from living room.

Nice looking set-up, gives a very peaceful and soothing look and feel

Btw...wonder why sunsun wavemaker manufacturer call it vibration pump ?

I think if the sunsun were using the carbon shaft it may have a higher chance of nt getting corrode. is yours the metal rod type? Mind sharing where you get yours? thanks.

the rocks i got from another reefer is leaking PO4. i have scraped it clean before putting into my tank. The rocks that i bought from ah beng's still very clean.

Ditch my DIY ATS as the silicon seem like giving way. Hmmm, lousy workmanship of mine or silicon no good?

Anyway decided to get some professional help. My new ATS made of glass.

[dominik]

Tape up the edges to prevent cut to myself. Also do up the window for the lights.

i use those cable for secure wires to go one round of the light and go thru the hole in the ATS.
