reef garden Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Update: new corals addition.. corals and fishes are doing very well.. been doing Microbe-lift Nite-out II daily and also Red Sea Reef Energy A & B (2.5ml daily). probably will give grotech line a try after my red sea finishes. Some corals pics : pink tip elegance. zoas green Brain coral.. this particular piece had become everyone's favorite coral with its bright luminous color! getting a red one soon! New addition added just one hour after placing in tank.. Yellow Lobo.. adds a spark of yellow to my tank! GSP glued to overflow box.. hopefully will spread fast and cover the whole box! Got this birdnest from a kind reefer when i bought his elegance, he fragged most part away so trying my luck with the remaining ones. doing pretty well with nice PE.. hopefully its color will retain.. top view Livestock! Banggai Cardinal.. my mandarin from my old 34L.. much more pods for him! Got 2 of this lovely tuxedo urchins! superb at eating brown algae (which is currently blooming in my tank) however its been attaching to some of my zoas frag and carrying them around.. My sump tank.. Deltec MCE 600 (great skimmer) on the left, eheim 1260, Rio pump (chiller and 2 TLF 150 reactor feeder pump). Currently only running rowaphos.. will be running biopellets once more livestocks go in.. chaeto in a breeder's net but im thinking of DIY-ing a partition using eggcrates. FTS. added a SunSun 3000l/hr wavemaker blowing at the back.. thinking of changing to 5000l/hr model instead.. still waiting for my universal laptop adapter to come so i can run W1 or ELSE mode on my wp40 at lower flow.. angle view Light is currently 10" above water level.. running 9 hours but mainly the blues and some white. rest of the whites only comes on for 2 hours a day now.. worried my corals may bleach. simply switch on feed mode on my wp40 and enjoy the top view.. Thanks for viewing! I love the rock works and there are many spots for coral placements. Excellent! Am I seeing some diatoms towards the back of the tank in the last photo?

blondmyth Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Freshwater cabinet are not meant to withstand the weight of saltwater tank. From the front view, the cabinet thickness is way too thin. Take a look ard reefers tanks and see how thick their support beam is. Also not sure if your cabinet wood can tahan saltwater bo. Since everything is not set up, why not do a proper tank cabinet. When u fully stock up your tank, it will not be fun anymore when your whole tank come crashing down. heard any horror stories of the entire tank come crashing down before?

sunnymau Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Nice tank bro! Good job! However, if possible slow down a little, don get over excited and stock up too quickly. U mentioned that the skimmer doesn't skim out much, this could be a sign of skimmer not kick in and may not be skimming effectively. No matter how clean ur tank is, if the skimmer is working fine, it will pull out tons of 'shit' from the water. I suggest not to turn of the skimmer and continue let it run to observe.

Cheers Thanks! yeah man im trying hard to slow down haha.. forgot to update about the skimmer, for the past 3 - 4 days i've turned it on again and still playing around with the tuning. after 3 - 4 days of dry skimming, managed to get a very dark green skimmate (smells really weird though..). I must say the deltec MCE 600 skimmer is really good!
