The final look of the sump should be like this. But darn. My ATO doesn't work also. The ATO unit itself will light up, my pump works when connected separately but when it is connected via an adaptor to the ATO, it doesn't work. Tried the adaptor and it is also working leh. Will probably buy another adaptor in case the one I have doesn't

connect as well. Anyone knows here to get this kind of head which my ATO unit has? It has to connect to a 2 pin plug for the pumpattachicon.gifImageUploadedByTapatalk1370877249.866013.jpg?

Finally got my ATI lights working. 2 reasons why it wasn't earlier. First was that the polarity was wrong. Orally forgot can change the polarity

with the small plug. Secondly, I changed the voltage as some BRPS suggested... And viola!!!

Mine works from voltage 4.5 onwards. Not sure if my hands are playing tricks, but I thought I felt the fan go faster as I turned the voltage higher? Will be adding liverocks next weekend! Exciting!

Hi; I often thought the light fan will only kick in if the light set hit certain degrees? No?

I think AI LED is like this; it is thermostat control;

Speed of the fan is base on how hot the unit is.

(-_-) Happy will do ... (o_o)

Good for you bro! Yes the fan goes faster with higher voltage and also becomes more audible.

Finally set up my vortech. This is my current configuration but I heard certain settings cause the vortech to wear and tear faster and also that the glass might not be able to handle the stress. Is anyone able to advice which mode is better for sps and also gentler on the hardware like the vortech and tank glass?post-600-13719960801742_thumb.jpgpost-600-13719960985664_thumb.jpg

So far the bubble magus curve 7 skimmer is skimming light coloured green tea but pretty happy with performance, looking at the gunk on the neck, considering nothing is in the tank yetpost-600-13719962348516_thumb.jpgpost-600-13719962457688_thumb.jpgpost-600-13719962557039_thumb.jpgpost-600-13719962724788_thumb.jpg

Decided not to mount the vortech controller but leave it lying on my shelf above the lights but secure the dry side wire in case dry side falls off. The ATI lights are really warm man considering I turned on only for half an hour and was standing in front of it while mounting the vortech.... Or maybe the weather is just insanely warm lately. have also set up all timers already. Left dosing pump to be set uppost-600-13719964568623_thumb.jpg

Good deal for live rocks at T95. $5 per kg. Bought a total of 16 kg of lie rocks today and started to plan my scaping in the floor first to prevent my back from breakingpost-600-13720648280597_thumb.jpgpost-600-13720648392282_thumb.jpgpost-600-13720648476277_thumb.jpgpost-600-13720648589979_thumb.jpgpost-600-13720648681234_thumb.jpg

Toughest part abt partition tank scaping is to ensure it looks decents at all 3 sides. Not forgetting there has to be sufficient clearance for cleaning glass. So rocks were given at least 3 to 4 inches of sand all 3 sides

Let them be life! This is the first of the two islands scaping that I really love when I saw some of the reefers tanks here. I'm hoping for this tank, I'll be able to see more sand and make it feel more open in generalpost-600-13720649913153_thumb.jpg
