nice! will be setting up a nano version of one of these tanks! where do you guys get your collection from? eyeing the shipments or is there a go-to place? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

hi! can i get it? thank you! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

try not to get the roasted one, if not feed too much got oil film. there are better options, check the ingredients. as long as there are no preservatives it would be ok Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

oh so its more or less the same! drill on the side right? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

i see! this method no need drilling, but what about using drilled holes in tank instead? can still be done? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

nice! would love to be able to get into some calculation! 🥸 i’ll drop u a pm

yeah! its all about experiences and the joy it brings us! thanks for pointing out the reliability issue which i haven’t considered. vent on return pipe, do u mean something like this? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

i see! glad to be hearing from you, clarified lots of my queries.. haha. i would assume its something like turn off return pump and fill right? I’ll go and read up more to see how i can tweak my design! thanks alot for your help aswell! I also read ur thread on your profile[emoji38] interesting way to design! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

haha.. thanks! wanted to gain as much exposure as I can while enjoying the details at the finest. a part of me enjoys doing stuff like these. I’ll be using check valves for sure.. haha. anyways, i really like how u built ur tank! been following it for awhile [emoji1303][emoji23] Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

or does it just in general increase the water level in the sump? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hi jia en! what did u mean when u commented about the size of the return? so the excess water only flow to the return compartment in the event of a pump failure? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

point taken. i’ll be proceeding on with that! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

yup! it is.. haha, not to worry! it’s a heavy duty caster wheel. can be adjusted so the supports come down. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

is there a way I can calculate how tall will the sump have to be, without actually water testing it IRL? for this reason i actually located the overflow quite high in the display tank so that there wont be much overflowing going on. (does that help?, or am i causing more problems? like noise etc.) for the skimmer wise, I designed it so it fits my current fluval skimmer, rated for 15-20 gals. I know that that slot can also fit an eshoppe skimmer rated for 30gals if need be. I didnt allocate a large compartment since technically i’ll be having a large “fuge” for nutrient export (i would also run calurpa to replace chaeto) going on in the macroalgae DT hence i’m not as worried about the skimming compartment as of yet. i’ll have to do the emergency overflow! thanks for your reply! great insights here!

Hello everyone! I’ve recently come to a decision to upgrade and build a tank of my own for the first time. [emoji16] with over a year’s experience of reefing with a 15gallon AIO system, I constantly feel that there are things that can be improved in my system. Reefing is a expensive hobby. As I’m only in my early twenties serving the nation, cash flow is not as high, and i would rather be investing my excess cash! Therefore, I’ve come to a decision to build instead of buy, taking this opportunity to build experience and learn. for this build, i’ll be doing everything myself from the wooden panels to building the tank up from scratch. I’m excited to be able to share with you guys my tank design I’ve did up. I would appreciate comments on what I can work on. thanks in advance everyone! some things which i did not model are: -plumbing to chiller -union joints -valves here’s how it goes. The sump I’ve modelled is actually designed to be a 2nd display tank. sandbed with liverock and display macroalgae which runs on reverse lighting schedule. I would believe this is more interesting than the traditional sump layout, and allow me to have a different view after the lights go off. I also assume that this will produce a good pod population, as compared to the regular turning ball of chaeto. I’m in the meantime skeptical about how my sump layout works in the event of a pump failure. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

I’m pretty sure they do.. i know that F&M does it. they use products like coralRX for larger scale dips, but its of your due diligence to dip too! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
