FrankenTank is Cycled
but first some updates, the chiller I spent all that time hardpiping has been removed, it creates heat in the room which only works if the room air is being cycled which it is not at night. I run the aircon in the room 24/7 to maintain temp, its my office as well so I am there most of the time anyway. (you are welcome to convince me on a better solution)
I have added some livestock to the tank over the week:
- 1 orange spotted Blenny (friendly fish)
- 1 sand sifting goby
- 1 green clown goby
- 1 blue tang
- 1 copper band (eating mysis like a champ)
- 1 sand star
- 2 snails
- 1 boxer shrimp
- 1 cleaner shrimp
- 2 medium hermit crabs
- some corals
Equipment:
- Lights - Orphek Atlantic
- return pump - Jebao DCP5000
- skimmer - Aqua-excel
- wavemaker - who knows, cheapie thing while waiting for new ones
- Monitoring - custom Arduino with probes (PH and temp so far)
next:
- crossflow and wavemaker pumps (ordered)
- diy refugium
- auto topup
- auto water change?
- dosing system?
- more automation

Welcome to Singapore! Just wondering, is there a particular reason why you hard plumb the chiller?
Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile appI plan to use the chiller loop to also feed water to reactors in future. That and the original pipes were leaking lol

Day 2 of the cycle and the tank is much clearer now. Placed live rock today as well. Came from previous owner, rocks had sat in buckets for a few days. Even so there was a snail and a emerald crab that managed to survive the journey unnoticed. (They are in the tank now)
Praws are starting to decay. Tank temp is 25 to 28 celsius fluctuating. Not running cooling at night.
I plan to hard pipe the chiller. Currently it is on flex hosing with its own pump. Should I place it inline with the return?
Should I run the skimmer during a cycle or not?
Lights I am running 12 hours.
When should I start ghost feeding? Some say from day 1 others say once prawn is removed/decomposed.

Sand being cloudy for the first few days is normal. Just let it settle over time. Activated carbon will not help. KH is very high at 15, may want to test a batch of freshly mixed salt in a container for alk to see if the salt batch has a problem
Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile appThanks, I just ran the test again and it's 9.3, so I must have messed the first test up. I'll test again tomorrow to be sure. All test kits are new.

Update
Everything has been washed with RODI water. I have fixed the hard plumbing and added a sock filter. I might change the Chiller to work on Hard piping.
Should I have my chiller on a separate loop with its own pump or should I put it inline with my return?
After testing all the plumbing filled the tank. I ended up getting Tropic Marin Syn-Biotic Sea Salt from Specialised Aquatics.
I left the sand that came with the tank and vacuumed it with a sand cleaner, there was alot of fine sediment that came off. The water is not very clear and should this settle? Will activated carbon help? any other advice?
I took my first measure measurements:
Salinity: 1.024
Ph: 7.7
Kh: 15 (This seems very high?)
Ammonia: 0.15
Nitrate: 0
Nitrite: 0
MG: 1290
Cal: 425
Lastly I added 2 prawns in a zip bag with a rock. Let the cycle begin.

Day 3 - Today
Excited & energised for Day 3. Tasks to complete
- Place equipments in the sump
- Test wirings
- Closed loop setup- Place equipments in the sump
2 x Clarisea fleece filter placed and plumbed to the pvc overflow return pipes
Nyos Quantum 220 Protein Skimmer placed in the sump
2 x Apex COR 20 return pumps connected to the return pipes. One of the return pump has a check valve. this pump is connected to the closed loop web of pipes as well as for another outlet which will get connected to pipes that will flow through the scape- Test wirings
Extension socket from bathroom and outdoor area connected and working fine. I realised the UV filter i.e. a 40w Deltec UV cannot be fixed above the sump in the cabinet. This will now be fixed on the wall and connected to via a manifold that is connected to the primary return pump- Closed loop setup
Web of PVC pipes done. The pipes towards the back will be increased once the scape is added. Scape will be made from Marco Rocks.
As mentioned at the start of the build, I like the wires to be nicely placed. In such a project, there is always quite a lot of wires which look messy and hard to identify. Hence the sump area has a section dedicated to manage the wires (birds nest is what i call) and the equipments such as the apex neptune family of equipments will be fixed in that section
Looks really awesome. Is that under sand filtration?

Welcome to src, u probably need lots of tees, elbows and other joints to create that much sections or just change the sump with 6 sections would be easier?
What would be the best way to:
1) remove old glass dividers
2) add new glass/perspex divides

Day 1: stock take, cleaning and plan
Collected all the equipment together to see what we have. The plan is to try use what we have before buying any thing.

I will have to buy some sea salt today if anyone has a recommendation.
Time to make RODI water and scrub everything. Call these the before shots.

I will also have to fix some plumbing at a later stage as a pipe was cut in the moving process.
The sump has 3 section but I am thing how to divide this down the middle to create 6 sections, please let me know your advice.

Hi all
I am new to Singapore (relatively 8 months) and very new to reefing. I have been collecting equipment from members of sgreefub and bargains on carosell. Over the next few weeks I plan to put together a build log of an epic reef tank from start to coral. Please follow, please advise and please be entertained as I take my 20 years of freshwater knowledge and throw it out the window. I have really enjoyed being part of the community so far and HOPE to contribue for the benefit of current and future refers.

So I agree with both of you I think it was the recapping and introduction of a huge new rock that I got from specialised aquatics. I found worms in the tank. Inhave washed the rock with boiling water and it seems to be OK now. Thank you all for the help. I lost 3 fish and the anemone in the exercise.
