  1. I definitely agree with having a bigger tank. I am only testing some theories la, and this current tank I am using now would likely become my sump in the future . Just some simple updates, 1) Tank washed and cleaned 2) bought an acrylic cut-to-size from Dama, 3) bought a tank safe Bossil BS-2100 silicon from Hardware store 4) Ordered a Dremel 300 from RS Singapore. 5) bought a Styrofoam and cut to size for tank's base. 6) Bought some (some is an understatement) "dead rocks" from a reefer here. Things to do, 1) Find a 2ft by 1ft rack, 2) silicon acrylic into tank, 3) find suitable lightings (still considering between a MH 70W or T5:}) BTW, I need help select a low heat pump suitable for a 2 footer. I am thinking of putting the out flow from the pump low and behind the rocks via a rain bar to improve the water circulations in the area. Also, I prefer a finer sand. I will be getting live sand from Iwana together with few packets of NSW after the tank is cured. What grade should I be getting? With the combo abov, will I face problems such as sand storm in the tank? I am taking all my time to stock up this tank. In my plan, it will probably be cycling for a couple of months and maybe house a pair of true clown with anemone for six months or so.
  2. How would a wave maker affect the operation of IOS, anyone? Or is it something I don't have to be worried about?
  3. While I have been reading up a few schools of thoughts in marine from a few forums and been following this interests for a few years. I do not have confidence maintaining a perfect balance between the hobby and of course, the monies. I guess I will trial up with a 2 footer I had received recently from a friend. I will be DIYing the IOS for a 2x1x1.5ft 6mm glass tank with a acrylic of 5mm. I am considering adding a MP10, so how will it affect the IOS? What is a good height for the IOS input? Can't really find anything mentioning these. Thanks! Regards, Macrobutt
  4. Thanks, guys. Hi Jack, I have been following your threads for quite a while. You are my inspiration.
  5. Being in the Planted arena for 15 years or so. I am from Singapore and looking forward to start my first marine tank soon. Please give me your advice and guidance.
