Spend $ always happy.....lol

Hi bro, what’s ur light choice for ur 54 gallon. It’s about the same size. Price wise I’m priced out of the ecotechs. Narrowed down to AI Hydra 26 X 2 or 52 x 1 Kessil 360 X 2 is 2 x 160 enough for less demanding sps at the higher edges of the rocks any advice? Thanks

I just bit the bullet one time pain....bought the 250coming next week.....

Very well taken photos. Please don’t tell me u took them using ur phone....btw the green tester looks damn cool man. Must go and check it out.

Very nice piping. The rocks layout nice too. Any glue to recommend for gluing the rocks together? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the valuable advice bro. Especially on the reach and placements of the lights.

Tha The Radion is expensive stuff lol. 2 x A160 sufficient for less demanding SPS? I'm leaning towards anything that comes with WiFi control. Lol

Hi Bros, Still thinking about the lights, was told that if I intend to have SPS, I will need 2 X 360 at least, what are your thoughts on the AI 26 Hydra? Aesthetics wise, Kessil wins hands down, and much easier to use, but i would really like the wifi control function, especially when Im away. Preferably, I would prefer one light only, is one Hydra 52 enough for SPS? Not looking at the most demanding SPS though. Another newbie question, for dosing of supplements, do i only account for the DT water volume? Logically I should include the sump's volume right?

Some updates bro. Decided to bite the bullet. For now here’s my damage today..... Red Sea Reefer 250 Teco 500 chiller (2 months old) Bubble Magus Curve A5 SICCE pumps Kessil A160WE (until I have enough moolah for 360) Painful day for my shallow pockets.....

Thanks bro. If you don’t mind. Can show some pics?

Good advice lol.

Thanks bro! Great advice. Helped a lot to narrow my search. Sleepless nights of web browsing lol

So far no inputs, any feedback on custom versus Brand names like Red Sea? I like the concept of full range of products and equipment to support the brand. Any savings for going custom? Seen a few but not very impressed with the usual custom tanks. In fact the shops i went to commented that price wise, red sea offers good value for the same specs. Im new to this so all inputs are appreciated. If possible, can also drop some credible names of tank makers.....not the atas ones please.....thanks!

Let me clock 50 posts. One less to go. LOL

Just one last question bro. Is there any place that takes in old tanks? Getting chump change is better than lying around collecting dust! lol

Thanks bro! You are very helpful!

Thanks so much bro. Let me go and scroll back. Lol. Maybe can save some $$$

After reading this thread, I’m also very keen to know the outcome. Deep respect for the patience bro!

Hi gurus, need some advice on the above. Currently on a Nano tank (60 x 30 x 30 after deducting space rear filtration ) for 3 weeks and I'm looking at changing to a bigger tank after intense research (a lot of great experience sharing from SGReefClub), and knowing the limits of my current tank. Lot of $ wasted on the first tank set-up......time to move on.... After discussing with my wife (she's still abit pissed about my first impulse tank purchase), I think I narrowed my tank size to max 3 feet. Currently looking at Red Sea Reefer 170/250 and Revoreef Infinity 180 (unfortunately, not much user feedback can be found, except youtube videos on China reefkeepers). Things that can be salvaged from current tank : 1. Nemo 36W LED 2. Carib Sea Rocks Current Live Stock : 1 x Clarkii Clown 1 x Saddle Back Clown 1 x Fire Shrimp 1 x Cleaner Shrimp 1 x GSP 1 X Goniopora 1 x Octopus Branch I would very much prefer the size of 170, but seems like a tad small, prefer not to go the custom route. Not so particular about branding for equipment. Reliability, cost and functionality are important factors. Eventual goal will be a relatively easy to maintain reef tank with lots of colors (hopefully I am not being unrealistic.....LOL) Appreciate all inputs! Thanks for reading!

Thanks for the sharing. I just started and I’m amazed at the amount of effort you have put in. Seriously, if it was not documented, is wouldn’t know the condition before it was commissioned. Lots of respect for people who do restorations of all kinds (including bikes and cars). Camping here to learn more!

Hi can you PM me on Reefer 170 (complete with lights and without lights) and also if possible, Revoreef V180. Both white. Thanks.

Nice setup. Surprised at the price of the tank too. May I ask how’s the quality and “feel” compared to Red Sea. Contemplating on getting the Red Sea.

Newbie here. Camping here to learn more on ur nice tank setup.

Hi all, can’t seem to find much reviews on this “skimless” tank setup. If anyone here is using this setup, it would be great if you can give some inputs on the long term maintenance costs and the pros and cons of this system. All inputs are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Nice and neat set up bro. Just started my nano too. Camping here to learn more.
