Some update: Bought a H&S F2001 Bought a Resun MD55 What do you guys think if i were to run a bare bottom tank? And run a DSB and refigium in my sump?

There was this person by name of Lawrence who help to drill holes in tank. His contact number is no longer in use. Anyone have his number or know anyone who does the same job? pls pm me the contact

Overgrown F.Ric? Sell some lar.. Big changes to the tank since i went over to your house to view the skimmer. Take care dude.

i am thinking that i run 4 t5 first. i feel that with the lightings, i should be able to keep some LPS with DSB of about 4-5" (inch) Maybe i will add another 2 MH in the later part. Dun know 250w or 150w better also Then maybe a chiller together with the MH... Big hole liao.. Just measured my sump. 76cm x 37 cm x 38cm (LxBxH). Water Level will be at 20 cm. Sump area is 78cm high and 120cm wide.

Sound like big trouble to me. Any way to drill a hole now?? Anyone out there running overflow with 25mm only??

Can i ask you bros out there, what diameter of piping commonly used? Plan to redo all pipings. My return piping is 20mm at sump area. My overflow piping at sump is 25mm. Now, is there any fixed diameter to follow? So that i can install skimmer or chiller in the future?

i may wan it too.. pm me

I was from the CPT dept. Graduate in 2000

Cannot see pic..

can show a pic of your sump? Wanna take a look at your pipings and stuffs..

maybe can get some from you later as i trying to build my 4 ft now... a lot of stuff left to fix.. haha BTW NICE tank you have..

any pic? interested. Where to view?

your 2 x 150w is 1.1m long? Hang on? i wan to use to use it for 4 ft tank..

Less than 200 bucks... humm.. Where to get? For the T5 tubes, where to get beside Glare? Plan to get a Tunze also. 6060 good enough? Feel so excited over the whole thing Lots of work left to be done... Thanks for all the advices given so far!! One more thing, do you all think its ok to mount a MH bulb on the hood? Will burn the hood? STill dun know wan to run T5 or MH.. Wan to try SPS leh..

Actually this is the pic at the seller's place. I will be placing it in my living room. No direct sunlight. I plan to keep a mix reef. So i can keep every type of corals i like. My plan now is 1. to Diy the lights in the hood to T5s. 2 x T5 or 4 x T5? 2. Diy a fan to cool system. Dun know if to invest in a chiller. 3. Buy a good skimmer. Marco? 4. Reinstall pipings. But afraid will have problems at the return output and at the base of the overflow.(see pic 1) 5. Buy a good return pump. Are there any prob with the sump design?

Ok.. ball valves.. MD 55 as return pump good? anyone knows how it cost now? 500?

As i got this 2nd hand from a Aro keeper, there's a lot of changes to be made. Problem that i see so far: 1. The pipings seem to be small? 2. the return outlet in the first picture, is at the bottom. 3. if i were to change the piping to bigger diameter, what will happen to the part where it is silicon to the tank? will it fit to the new diameter? 4. What return pump to use? Eheim 1260?

Pic of sump

Hi all reefers here, i just got myself a 4 ft tank with sump. I have 2 tank presently. one 2 footer and a 4ft fowler. As none of them have a sump, i need a lot of help in setting this new tank up. Spec:- 4" x 2" x 2" 2" sump Hood with 2 FL mount on it presently.

where to get end caps? Sim lim??

for the orange and green mushroom, are they Ric yuma?

I had a dymax T5 2ft. Ballast blown and i wanted to DIY 2 x 24W of T5. Has a few questions and i need advices 1. Can the end caps of Dymax fit the ATI tubes? 2. Are the diameter of the ATI tubes the same as the Dymax 20w T5? 3. Anyone done this (using Dymax casing) before? 4. The e-ballast of 24w is larger? So where to put the ballast? outside? Thanks to whoever going to contribute!!
