    Thanks all! Equipment buying spree complete.......burnt a big hole in my Wallet....
    Managed to secure a Maxspect Gyre Xf230 set (next shipment is in May).

    You are considered lucky, at least you still have a wallet with a hole. Some reefers got to pawn their wallets

    Quick summary : Started marine hobby only about 3 weeks ago. Got chopped like a carrot head and paid almost $2k for a 2 feet nano with defective cabinet and tons of inferior stuff......expensive lesson.... lol im normally pretty cool, pretty hard to sell me anything. I Guessed it was because I wanted a marine tank since I was a kid. Kan Chiong, jumped off the cliff without any safety harness.........
    After some “serious” poisoning and tons of reading and YouTube videos, I’m very convinced (self justification) about the limitations and flaws of my current tank. Since this is going to be my last serious hobby (self psycho), decided to bite the bullet. Going to decommission the 2ft.
    Don’t know if im “lucky” or “unlucky”, I managed to get the last set of white Red Sea reefer 250. Next shipment is 1 1/2 months away. Special thanks to brother Kermit for accommodating my non-stop questions lol. Also brother Sherman for his experience sharing. 
    For this new set-up, decided to just make do with reasonable items (haven’t from loss from previous tank, total write-off). 
    Here are the items I have bought. Pics to follow when the tank arrives next week....all inputs and advice are greatly appreciated!
    Hardware :
    Bubble-Magus Curve A5
    Teco 500 Chiller (used but very new)
    SICCE 3.0 and 1.5
    Carib Sea sand
    Carib Sea (current tank)
    Still looking for lights (outta stock for my preferred brand and model)
     


    You are most welcome, we are all hobbyist with the same interest. Moreover, I’ve walked the path you have before, only thing I was not convinced by THAT particular LFS to hard sell me.. hard sell? I walk. Keep us posted on your journey.

    Advice on Tank Choice and Equipment set-up

    Will take time.
    This hobby talk about patience.
     
    Both custom and ready off the shelf has their own group of followers. Depending on your wants soon you will be looking at custom.
    It help you to match into your envirnoment. You build according to your needs.(Maybe I should say your coral 's need)
    So far for custom build I like CRA . They have good service and is reasonable pricing. 
    Others I never use before no comment.
    Ready made I prefer Innovative Marine. They have better and wider choice of tank design and supporting accessories
     
    Look around all the build thread and you will understand more
     


    Agree with Sherman, therefore I took the idea of the IM tank and got CRA to custom build it to my requirements... save some money by customizing... it’s also because I already have a cabinet.. if you are looking for an entire system, do consider IM... nice tanks and accessories

    Yes my damsel use to be an AH, but now One of my chormi(dark blue) chases damsel..lol.. it grow double the size of damsel. It’s the boss in my tank, even my tangs or wrasses much bigger than my chormi don’t dare to go near it.

    Agree with Kermit13sg.. damsel is really irritating other fishes. I am struggling to catch it still as mine is 4ft tank..
     

    Set a trap

    I made my own with a mineral water bottle.. check out YouTube.. they are greedy and they’ll fall for it.. I caught both in less than 2 hours

Then die after 3 days..been repeating..and firefish and purple dottyback died 1 week later..haizz

    Mine is a 3 feet... no, they are just irritating ...

    Leave it empty for 90 days... ich got no host will eventually die off... then next time buy fish, QT then before adding into your tank... or if you don’t plan to add corals then copper treat the tank.
