Got a new co2 solenoid regulator as a friend told me my old one might be leaking. Either that or my reef really burning a lot of calcium carbonates. My co2 easily depleted in 20-25days. Very Siong to top up every mth. Either that or must chg to bigger capacity cr.

Wow...your tank looks amazing!

What are you using to keep nitrates down?

Thanks, it's not really that fantastic. I'm using af pro bio s and running aio biopellet in a skimz recirculating reactor. So far no3 undetectable. Po4 is at ~0.06ppm though.

Added another electrical box to keep my return pumps power adaptors in it. Now got more space in my sump cabinet.

Planning to relocate my compressor to service yard area as heat get trapped within the living hall and it's really stuffy and heaty the whole time.

Also sharing my lighting and dosing regime.

Finally shifted my compressor to the kitchen's service yard. Now less heat generated and trapped in the living hall.

Trunking to run beside my tank's cabinet.

And through my kitchen's ceiling.

The trunking will enter the service yard and goes to the end down where the compressor is placed on the ground beside my fridge, blowing the hot air out through the ventilation gaps.

The height of the durso is wrong. Main durso is on the left shd be lower as it act as main & full siphon and drain pipe, middle durso which acts as open channel is higher with air tube on top cover. Air tubing shd be curl down to above main durso on the left. When water level rises too much & block the hole of the tubing, the air tube helps to drain water down to original water level fast to become full siphon piping. Right durso is correct except for the air tube.

It's needed cos each pipe perform different functions. U can read up at the bean animal website. Here's the link:

It's for maintaining calcium and alkalinity levels in ur tank. For detailed explanation on how it works u can read from here,
