-.- lol

Gd luck I told myself 1 mth but now 1 week I feel crazy Liao ;p

Also thx bro admiraltian think I should do that to my skimmer too

Glad that helps, if I'm not wrong, built up of coraline algae can cause the micro bubbles in the skimmer foaming process to burst prematurely and that will reduce the skimmer's efficiency in making down DOC.

Bro Angmoh,

Just read this thread from the beginning. Bro Wil is correct, hot air rises up from your chiller's rear end. So instead of pushing it back down, reverse the fan on top to push it out.

Hot air rises (that's how hot air balloon works). Waiting for someone to start screaming I am wrong and that there is nothing here to do with hot air balloon.

Bro Angmoh,

Hi Resser,

You are right. But my initial intention is to have the chiller's heat discharge outlet to be placed facing the cabinet opening directly. Meaning to say that, no or nominal heat will be in the cabinet.

The purpose of drawing the air into the cabinet is to 1) cool down the adaptors 2) for chiller air in-take..

anyway i will try out all suggestions provided by the bros here to see which is the best way

Nice rocks with a good healthy looking coverage of coralline algae!

Nice looking LR :thumbsup:

Nice design

Thanks guys for your compliments. I must admit that i'm pretty bad in rockscaping or selecting live rocks.

Don't sell yourself short lah. For a 2ft, the tank looks very nice.

BTW, maybe you can install another fan low down front at chiller's intake (top fan blows out. You get cooler air from below for push pull effect which should solve those hot adapters.

sorry peeps.. nothing much to shout about my tank at this stage... 1 month of cycling.. tank still empty except:

1) 2 blue-leg hermit crabs in the DT to clean the algae on rocks (they did a wonderful job)

2) several snails and sand dollar in the sump tank to keep the glass clean (hopefully)

3) added a torch coral to test the water (been a week so far so good)

other than the above, tank still empty haha.

Just back from China and bought several acrylic products.

Bought a couple of breeder boxes (one big one small) for acclimatizing fish. Good quality, nice workmanship and cheap.

Wah bro; next time you go get some of those acrylic for me, nice!

sure mate. Next trip i will bring in more to share with the bros here..

FYI both acrylic acclimatization boxes cost me less than $20 (small one less than 10 bucks) in total. I'm not too sure if it's cheap or expensive, but i'm pretty sure it's value for money. Love the design.
