  1. Yup bro Bunster mine is same tank as urs. In order to use the skimmer, I have to sacrifice one of the partition by tearing it out so the space is bigger and can fit it in. Now thinking of autodosing to lessen my water change.

  2. Hi bro, bunster. Nick tank u have there. I have the same of tank as urs. May i ask how often does ur chiller kick in? I put my outlet hose AT the same compartment as the inlet of the chiller. Seemed to kick in very fast. Previously the outlet hose was connected to the water out pipe nozle but yesterday got my house mini flooded due to the hose detached forum my return pump. Now i just put IT in the same compartment

  6. This hobby is really full poison. In the mist of cycling the existing tank. I bought a new 2ft(96litre) tank. Its an iOS tank with an air skimmer included. Also bought a bag of biohome plus, 2pc artificial rock, also wp-10 jeboa wavemaker.

  7. Wah, nice nano. Haha, still got cny deco beside it some more. No skimmer means u need to do wc more frequent. If u planning to keep corals then it's gd to hv chiller or fan to cool down ur tank's temp. Also need to get a wave maker to keep current going in ur tank. If it's Juz fishes or inverts then wavemaker might be optional.

    Cheers & welcome bk to the hobby!!

    Yes, plan to get a small wavemaker. Btw, which wavemaker is good for 1.5ft ya

  8. Welcome to reefing, you have a simple nice setup. Many reef hobbyists start out the same approach. HOB is fine, ok to have no skimmer, simple lighting is ok as long as LS in tank doesn't reach overload condition. And the types of corals and fishes are easy ones. The problem is once we are successful with easy LS we want to move on to more challenging ones. But that's the thrill of reefing. There are some parameters that can't be compromised like water. Topping up with DI water rather than tap water because overtime the accumulation of undesirable minerals will have adverse effects on LS especially corals.

    Agreed on the di water, maybe will leave it for future expansion when

    wanna upgrade tank

  9. Wah so cute. Not a big fan of hang on filter for marine. Might wanna consider adding on a canister as well. Or just keep minimal livestock and waterchange, Dont forget to top up evaporated water! Happy reefing.

    Thanks, yup topping up daily with tap water. Planning to use auto top up later
