New reefing adventure!

[amused]

Just wanna say a big Thank You! to all the bros who advised me on the chiller, met with the contractor today and he said that the compressor can be installed

So will be installing a 1.5hp compressor but now don't know which brand is more reliable...any recommendations?

Thanks again...really grateful.

Yes boss

Took the plunge to go rimless and short...previous tank was too tall and every maintenance was backbreaking!

Some updates: managed to do some shopping in preparation of my sump's arrival

Test kits and various accessories:

Return pump:

Incomplete sump and QT area:

V. well thought out build, and the finishing looks awesome bro!

Would love to hear more about the Abyzz, will you be using its variable speeds for return? If so, how do you intend to sync with your 2 Vortechs?

Nice look at the back? I guess that's some sitting area and the small compartment is for chiller?

I was thinking of how the wave maker features of the Abyzz might work as a return, will probably experiment quite a bit during the cycling stage. Maybe some experienced reefers out there could offer some valuable advise on this? As of now I don't think I will be using Vortech anymore, think they will be too strong for my tank, and more importantly no more budget for them! you have any advise on this?

The plan now is to fire up the Abyzz and see what kind of current it gives before deciding to add any more wave makers (looking at tunze instead of vortech)

Was initially planning to use the new RD but it is taking forever to reach our shores so changed plans.

Hi bro,

The sitting area opposite the tank houses the QT and the small compartment is actually where the sump extends out from I will post more detailed pictures once this part is completed, which will take more than a week

rimless.. strength wise?

Just have to trust the tank maker for the strength, he did advise that the height should not exceed 20inches

Hi bro, nice tank and return pump!

Have not seen anyone using Abyzz before.

Do let us know how this pump performs.

Cheers!

Tried to find reviews on the pump but not much info on it, so took quite awhile before deciding to take a leap of faith...pray that everything turns out well!

The pump is most probably way too strong for my tank so might have to run it at a lower capacity.

I'm also very concerned about having a rimless tank and if there are any strength issues...any gurus care to share their experience or advise on rimless tanks? I have seen lovely ones hence the motivation to take the chance...really pray it no accidents!

Hi,

Nice rimless tank.

Tempting to use Abyzz. How is the warranty like since it so costly?

[digibee]

Hi bro, I have always preferred rimless tank.

But as to how thick the glass tank should be; I am not sure myself;

Maybe this link may help you

Anyway, the tank maker said it is fine; then should be ok.

There is warranty right?

Cheers bro!

Hi Bro,

The pump comes with a 1 year warranty but RD gives another year warranty. You can also choose to bump the warranty to 5 years for slightly less than 300
