    After keeping the system for the past 3 over months, I would like to share some of my learning as following:

    Downsides

    1. I have overfed the tank (be it for Fishes, Corals and the Cleaner Crews). As a result, had an outbreak for the algae :(

    2. I think I had started dosing the All-In-One too early which I should wait longer for the tank to be more mature.

    3. I used wrong flow rate for the Chiller as a result the Chiller overwork and water is not properly chill :( 

    4. I had stop running Chiller for the tank for about 2 -3 days and resulted lost of some corals :( 

    5. Position of the Corals in too low as a result to far from the lighting :( 

    6. Personally I find that the IOS compartments is not big enough to provide enough water volume for filter media and thus not able to keep water in great condition and stable parameters. 

     

    Upsides

    1. I like the function of ATO which works very well to keep the water senility stable.

    2. I like the used of a Wave maker which has WiFi function for ease of control and operation setting.

    3. Lessons learned from the downsides stated above.  

     

    Moving Forward

    I have decided to decom the existing 12G tank and to re-setup a new system as following:

    1. A total water volume of 24G where 12G as Display Tank and 12G as filtration with more filter media.

    2. Upgrading my existing lighting system from 27W to 90W to ensure good lighting.

    3. All Corals will be at a higher position to ensure good lighting reaching for all Corals.

    4. To ensure proper flow rate for the chiller

    5. Continue to use UV, Wave Maker, ATO and Skimmer

     

    Will provide photos for the new system when the system is fully ready in my next update :) 

    Just to add on the downside that the Corals were not doing well could be due to the following :

    1. The Light used might not have enough intensity 

    2. The Corals are in a too low position as such the Light not able to reach out to the Corals

    3. I have noticed that the water shows yellow in color in the tank whenever I do my weekly water change. I have just found out that this can have an impact for the Light to penetrate into the water column.

    For the new setup, I am addressing the above 3 points as following :

    1. Upgraded the Light to Kessil A360X 

    2. Higher in the rock scaping in the new setup

    3. To use Red Sea Reef-Spec Carbon to provide crystal clear water in the new setup.

     

    Hope that the above sharing can be useful for new Reefer as a reference :)

    I would like to add that my feeling from the existing 12G IOS Tank does not have good filtration system which promoted me to venture into the new setup (12G Display Tank and 12G Filtration) providing 1-to-1 water volume between DT and Filtration.

    I do not have much luck in keeping fishes with the existing 12G water volume and hope that will be able to do well with the new setup of total 24G water volume setup :)

    As a start, planning for the new setup with the following

    Fishes:

    >  6 lines wrasse x 1

    >  Brown Tank x 1

    >  Doctor Fish x 1

    When the tank more mature, I will add a Mandarin.

     

    Cleaner Crews (Transfer from existing tank)

    > Snails 

    > Peppermint Shrimps

    > Sexy Shrimps

     

    Corals (As a start, transfer from existing tank)

    > Zoas

    > Mushrooms 

    > GSP 

    Will add more Zoas / Hammers and other LPS soft Corals when the above transferred Corals doing well.

    Following is the new tank setup without Chiller and Lighting for the time being during the cycling stage :

    That is certainly interesting hahaha. What I like is that people have preconceived ideas of what a reef tank looks like, and there are so many different ways to achieve things in the hobby. Good luck. Do you have any issues with the 'sump' being above the DT? How to you manage to keep things level?

    I have spend time to monitor and ensure that the flow rate of water into the two 6G tanks (‘sump’) same as return to the 12G Dispaly Tank.

    I am making use of what I am having to create the ‘sump’ and just hope that all will turn out well :) Time will tell whether I can be successful with this setup which I will providing regular updates on the progress.
