SRC Member tunicate Posted April 28, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted April 28, 2011 Good looking tank bro. It's always exciting to setup a new tank. BTW, any concerns with all the power sockets hanging over the sump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, any concerns with all the power sockets hanging over the sump? Thanks bro ! Regarding of the power sockets I guess should be fine? There won't be any water spray over there..

SRC Member tunicate Posted April 28, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted April 28, 2011 It's not the water spray I'm worried about. But I guess it should be ok as long as the power strips are firmly attached to your cabinet. Eventually, the total number of plugs, cables & timers do exert substantial downward pressure on the mounting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member limsc Posted April 29, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2011 Nice tank and cabinet... but i didn't see any ventilation slits at your cabinet doors. No cooling problems for your chiller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ReefzLover Posted April 29, 2011 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2011 Nice tank and cabinet... but i didn't see any ventilation slits at your cabinet doors. No cooling problems for your chiller? The side cabinet and the back have it. Still considering of adding a fan to let it cooler.. cos in the night will have air-con switched on too.

SRC Member desideria Posted April 29, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2011 YEs add a ventilation fan to suck out the hot air.... I see only 1 eheim pump? NO other pumps in the sump?

SRC Member ReefzLover Posted May 3, 2011 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 3, 2011 Early Christmas from Madpetz! Decided to get their RO/DI after some light reading...no regrets ! Great product. Just made a big tub of water last night..everything is very simple and quite "auto" Changed the CA,KH,MG powder to TLF 2 Parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member poomoon Posted May 4, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted May 4, 2011 FTS.. With water in alr ! very minimalist, will look nice for sure ... maybe just offset the rocks a little to create more depth. a little more height on one of the rocks as well.
