Hi all bros, Please let me know if you're having or had seen a running redsea max 130d? I read it's very noisy especially the fans and skimmer. I called AM and was told it's not noisy at all. Anyone had JBJ 28G Nano Cube HQI 150? I know this system generates alot of heat... would a chiller solve the issues? Please share your experience. Thks.

The rate of flow for the chiller is 250~1200L/H, so which pump should i go for?

I am getting a Hailea HC150a chiller 1/10HP for 130 litre, am i right that i should look for a chiller pump with output 1000l/h>? anyone?

The reason is my budget. I asked around, a 1.5ft setup with sump/overflow/chiller and chiller cabinet cost around $1900>. If i get the RSM together with a 1/10 chiller it costs about the same but it's 2ft, 34 gallon, bigger view and it comes with starter kit which saves me a bit... thought i learnt the RSM light system is for soft corals environment..and comes with an average protein skimmer... anyway i will go and see the 1.5 cube, who knows i might like it.

I will visit AM and iwarna to see the custom made tank this weekend and decide. If i dont like it, i will just go for RSM.

tentatively, i am ok.I couldn't confirm until a week before the 26th June because of my work schedule. I will confirm before 8th June. Thanks. ** i like to know more on the settings up of sump, overflow system, and protein skimmer.

I am getting a Hailea HC150a chiller 1/10HP for 130 litre, am i right that i should look for a chiller pump with output 1000l/h>? Just a brief one, when i got my tank, i just mix salt water to get the right parameters, next i rinse the live rocks with salt water and then put into the tank to start the cycle/curing process. Next, i monitor the parameters daily until Ammonia and nitrate reach 0 for a continues of 2-3 days (change 20% water hen there's a need), then i can get corals from LFS and put in, and then put livestocks - marine fish a few at a time.. Is this how i should go about? Thank you.

iwarna website, the package is $1980 for a 1.5 cube which i think is not cheap either... i will visit iwarna to have a look... i am not comfortable with the 1.5ft cube.. i think it's too small. i will visit the shop to take a look on the 1.5ft cube display.

Is 1.5ft cube about 25G, too small for a marine tank? My budget only allows me to go for 1.5ft custom made (<$2k>), with RSM, i am getting 34G tank... dilemma here..

Any engage iwarna for custom tank? Can you share your experience? Overall, i see the price is not cheaper either. In btw, is this package a good one for $1980? 1. 1.5ft braceless cube tank 2. Laminated cabinet (black or white) 3. Compartmentalised sump 4. Acrylic overflow box with cover 5. Germany aquabee pump 1000litres/hour 6. Max Spect LED lights 60Watts 7. Bubble Magus skimmer 8. Hailea chiller 1/10HP 9. Chiller pump 10. Sea water 11. Liverocks 12. Vortech MP10 (New ES version)

Thank you Bro. I working out my budget now. I am getting a Ehiem pump for the 130 liter water to the chiller. Pump output approx I/h 1. 1000-2000 2.1500-3000 3.2500-5000 which pump would do the job?

For new tank, is it better to use mix salt water or sea water NSW for the cycling process? Thank you.

Hi, I have a question here. When i am cycling the water together with the live rock curing process, if the water gets dirty, residue appear, do i do a e.g 10% water change? Or is there a procedure to follow etc. change 10% water every 2-3 days during the process? Next, to check if the rock is being cured, i take out the rock out of the water, no smell = cured? Thank you.

Thank you. Is this pump Flow Rate : 300L/Hour good enough for a 130 litre / 34 gallon tank? Thank you again.

Hi, Is this how i should connect up the chiller pump? chiller inlet to pump outlet and chiller outlet to pump inlet? Thanks.

Thank for all the advice. I having reading on custom made tank offers... it seems to me, to engage someone for custom made tank is not very much cheaper either. It is only a bit cheaper than RSM /chiller. I like the completeness of the RSM, but i am opening to more options. I think i only want to commit to a 2ft tank now. Can anyone recommend me a good shop to visit for beginner? I came across Fish N Friends who do custom tank, anyone to share your experience with Fish N Friends? Any RSM owner out there? Can share your experience? Tks.

Thank you.. i am visiting aquamarin. Is aquamarin ok for a beginner like me to go for advice/purchase?

Domp also act like a water overflow / auto top up water to the aquarium? I read in the internet, but couldn't fully understand how it works. Thank you again.

Hi Jacky, Are you having a 28g Nano Cube HQI Aquarium? I am considering this tank too but it only 1.5ft ... i am looking into a 2ft tank. Does this tank comes with a heater? I have a question is, if i use a chiller, can i switch off the fans? Also, do i need a heater? Redsea max does has a heater but considering the warm wheater in Singapore, do i need one? Thank you, Andy

Thanks Bros. I'm still considering between Reasea MAX or custom made tank. In btw, could someone recommend me a quiet 1/10 chiller, preferably about $300 and where to get it.

Do i need to cycle the saltwater fist before starting out the rock curing process?

Thank you.

I have some more questions, 4. I see in this forum, some shops actually do sell sea water, do i need the cycling process with these water? 5. I'm on a limited budget of $2k, to set up the redsea max 130d, can i know are corals and marine fish epxensive? what are the price like? I need to do some budgeting. 6. Anyone had redsea max? Can you share experience? It is diffcult assemble the parts? 7. what common corals and fish am i limited to if without a chiller installed? I am quoted by AM over $2500 with chiller,wave maker, and livestock, and rocks. ... which is far away from my budget... Thank you bros again.
