My 1st time trying marine tank. Been tinking of doing marine since i was young.hehe. previously was into planted tank. now need a new challenge.

My tank is a 2x1x1.5ft. to tink that this size is actually called a nano tank(the ocean is HUGE).

ok...after doing some research and getting some gd deals from other bros for a few weeks.started the cycling today.

going for a fowlr simple setup:


2 bags of C0 sand for dsb.


most bros choice of marine salt i guess


reliable pails...

weipro 2011 and atman pump


water!! in it goes~

[bluezing]

BUT! after everything is setup, something ###### up!

the pump aint working!!! haizz...will be getting a refund from the bro who sold me the pump. not his fault actually. he din know that its no longer working.

sian...now no current in the tank. looking around for a suitbale pump again.

will look for a sump with pipes everything. i hate the look of the hose and pump in the tank.


off to the pasar malam section!!!


*welcome all bros' advise and comments!

[bluezing]

btw guys,im looking for a sump with overflow box, as i dun have any holes drill in my tank.

pm me if you are selling away. *if give free will be best! hahaha

post more pics bro...

[somebody]

in the meantime, why not you put the skimmer body outside the tank. nicer mah...

haha... up to you lohz.

[Anemone]

u know, if u could remove the tank, i suggest u wrap up ya stand with aluminium foil. less contact with the salt water.

just a suggestion.

[bluezing]

NavIgatoR - definitely bro...but now meantime..cycling stage..also nothing to see.


somebody - hehe...bro..the pump is working liao! because need to actually get the air out of the pump first.so that the water is all inside the pump. hehe...


Anemone - too late liao bro...now my whole body aching....furthermore...really no strength to restart again...


btw guys, does your floor always feels kinda watery?mine certainly does. should be the saltwater aye?


and also,where should the water level be in the weipro 2011 skimmer? mine is higher than its supposed to be.somewhere around the "connector(part no. 2)". and that's when the valve is fully opened. doubt the level can go any higher~

*thk u guys for ur advise and comments.i really appreciate it~

[bluezing]

oops...i tried adjusting the level...can liao...just close the valve abit more and the level will rise.

was advise by kalib from AF to let the water level be at the O-ring.

keke ya lah..sticky feeling aye ..welcome aboard

[Anemone]

adding some vinegar to the water u use to wipe the floor might help. tried it once when my living room got flooded one day.

[bluezing]

aCe^bOwleRz - kaka...will go down to reborn to get the lr this weekend! yeah!

XiaoBaiTu - sticky sticky...gagagaga~

Anemone - noted on the vinegar thingy,bro

[Flame-Tail]

Just a suggestion bro. You might want to cover the back of your tank with either black or blue oyama paper.
