lagoon style... i like.

it is actually up to personal preference just need to ensure sufficient water flow, enough swimming space and no dead spots

alternatively you can try the 'big brother small brother' concept

looks like your light spread also not enough, maybe you could mount your light higher or get t5s to supplement it?

Yup, will definitely lift the lightset up higher from 16cm to about 23-25cm. :D

After setting all up, this is how it looks LOL

Bring all the heat produced outta my house.

Cant feel any heat surrounding at all. Satisfied xD

Cant imagine heat releasing into the house, the distance between tank and sofa is very near or heating up the sump tank after cooling

Also can help to dry my clothing faster outside..

:D

How long you took to cycle bro?

checking ammonia,nitrite,nitrate everyday , took me 9days to complete cycle.

98% of liverocks were from a establish tank from another bro :thumbsup:

but now already day 20 after water in ( 11th days after cycled ) still havent add lifestock. because havent setup chiller haha. ( just set it up yesterday )

most probably will be adding lifestock today.. hopefully ( if got time ) :cheers:

We share the same model of chiller ;-)

Nice! How long does your chiller take to bring down 1 degree?

My this chiller i set it at 28, take 2 hrs to chill from 29 to 28.

and take 7 hours to kick in.

Dont know why take so long to chill haha. Using 3000l pump to feed.

Maybe too high flow ? The chiller output hose i put it directly at the entrance of return pump. will be setting to 27degree soon

Added lifestock yesterday , added 1 false perc, 1 maroon, 1 dottyback, 1 cleaner shrimp, 1 blue tang, 1 yellow tang and 1 fish dont know what name ( yellow top, purple below, look like royal gramma )

Thanks (:

13Sept added:

1 powderblue tang,

1 true percula,

2 banggai cardinal

2 cleaner wrasse

1 yellow watchmen

14Sept :

Brain coral

Bubble coral

Both from GO

Today : none , broke xD

Where do you guys place the output hose from chiller?? Directly very near return pump or in the sump at the other end from the return pump?

I notice when i place it at the other end, take 1 hr to cool 1 degree (temperature rise faster) and directly to return pump takes 3 hours (temperature rise slower)
