  1. Just my suggection.

    Hi guys, I have a 45cm cube tank (approx 89 litres) and need advise for the following setup equipment: -

    1) Whether a 35cm x40cm x25cm (H) sump tank sufficient? I have length and width constraint as such I can only increase sump height.

    You may find not big enough later after put your skimmer, pump exclude reactor.

    2) Whether a "Skimz SH1" Nano Skimmer is sufficient? This is rated at "Air intake, 60l/h, for aquariums up to 200 litres"

    Should be fine.

    3) Return pump, Eheim Universal 1260 or Compact 300, note that this pump will run the chiller as well as return to the main tank.

    Try Jebao. Power saving.

    4) Pharos LED light 90W or Maxspect G2 160W, am more inclined to the Pharos led set.

    160W is a bit high side. If you tank height is not so tall, you may try 120w.

    The main tank will be coral intensive as such I wouldnt want to make a wrong choice on equipment.

    Appreciate all advise and opinions from senior reefers.

  2. How about a Bubble Magus Curve 5 or curve 7 for your tank. I bought the Curve 5 for my tank and quite like it even though it is rated for 500litres. The skimmer started skimming the junk after about 2 hours of running. It is also very silent and runs at only 8w. The footprint is 18.5cm x 18cm. Therefore, a 20cm x 20cm will be enough for this skimmer. The only sound coming out from my cabinet is the drain pipe but it is still very silent.

    Kindly pm the BM curve 5 skimmer price.

  3. Convert my freshwater tank to marine. Need advice on the list.

    List:

    Tank - 2ftx1.5ftx1.5ft
    Sump - 2ftx1ftx1ft (DIY)
    Overflow - DIY
    Return Pump - JEBAO DC-3000 ECO
    Chiller - Arctica 1/10hp - Use return pump
    Light - Maxspect razor 120W 16K
    Skimmer - Not decide
    Plan to share the return pump with chiller. Now still can't decide the return pump and skimmer. Should I upgrade to Jebao DC-5000 and what skimmer better?
  4. I have 3 of them and they are together for about 5 months and they still peck at each other once in a while... seems to be normal - at least its not fatal. They smallest dun seem to grow much but the dominant one is quite big from the time I bought it.

    Me too. At least the small still fight back and I still see it survived.
