SRC Supporter Harlequinmania Posted January 3, 2011 SRC Supporter Share Posted January 3, 2011 Sump view, overflow compartment with sock holder, follow by refugium on the left, and return pump + FR. i see that you are planing to use filter sock in you sump.. Prehapes you might want to consider having a "shield" over the compartment in case your filter socks choke and overflow out of your sump. Previously i had a choked filter bag while i was oversea and ended up with water flowing out of my sump flooding my living room. Luckily my parent came in time to save my fishes...

stevenkoh08 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 ya i use filter sock before for my 4ft before in the end use back filter wool and then use nothing at all now but a lot of particular laying around the sump... so far my pods love it and dashing around in it just like a playground to them.. bro mad i'll suggest you to have a square wooden stick to be cut to the height of you cabinet, and stuff it in the centre of the front door.... to act as an pillar as your design are frt and rear open concept it'll cause to to bend side way over time... End result you won't be happy bout it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sock holder is lower than the sump glass, water will no flow out of the sump when overflow happen. Sock maintenance schedule is to wash every 3 days to remove DOC. Boss, thanks for the infor, will plan to remove filter sock whenever away for overseas trip. Steven, thanks for the concern, will monitor closely. Rockscape completed. Built from dry rocks, pvc & epoxy compound. Still perfer to have substrate than bare bottom.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To solve your bare bottom problem.. that is easy.. place lot of nice Zoas on it... NICE.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madkenz Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Straydum, minimalistic concept, less rock more open sand bed, less pump more flow. Ahlee, use zoas to replace substrate … I leave the task to you, time to add a 2ft tank to your main system. Update, manage to run mp40 at full power without major sand storm within the 2 ft cube. I used dry aragonite- bermuda pink coral chip for high energy area (high flow) and Oolite live sand (super fine) for low energy area (low flow), and location of pump is critical too. MP40 operate under 0.2 second short phase- full power ima.. tank undergo nitrogen cycle with raw prawn added. SG: 1.023 pH: 8.31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member kimwailee Posted January 11, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted January 11, 2011 In case you need more rock, just drop by my house. Got spare less than 1 feet rock, 5 to 6 pcs. Mostly flat. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madkenz Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Thanks Ahlee for the offer will keep to present rockscape for the time being. ima....still cycling added in prodibio digest & Bioptim to increase nitrifying bacterial strains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member straydum Posted January 20, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted January 20, 2011 :sick: market prawn can't wait to see this tank stocked up! just want to ask, will you be running the mp40 at full when stocked as well? if so then the area in the direct wave will be a no coral land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madkenz Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Market prawn mission accomplished, now rest in peace The background is 'no coral land' as it got direct blow from the wavermaker Today installed refugium lights and introduced marco alga, Caulerpa.

I am keen to get something like that too! If it's alright with you, can you also share with us the cost? Thanks! Quote Comments are welcome!

Eniram Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Caulerpa algae will go asexual after some time. Meaning it will turn white and basically dissolves into the tank, in doing so it releases alot of organic matter into the water which it has absorbed during the period it was green. This drastically reduces the oxygen content in the water, it can suffocate everything in the tank and worst case scenario crash your tank. Most reefer here use cheato algae which doesn't go asexual and its more stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any way will introduce cheato as well, kiasu me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
