After try & error (a lots of errors) :thumbdown: on trying to convert my previous 4x2x2, no sump tank into a marine tank, the tank crashed and I had to temporary transfer the remaining lifestock into a small 2ft tank while saving up for a proper setup.

After researching much & learning from the sifus here, I ordered a 4x2x2 tank and it finally came on 31 Oct 2013 - my treat for Halloween :thumbsup:

Here's the tank spec:

Tank: 48" x 24" x 24"

Sump: 36" x 20" x 16"

Theme: Mixed reef tank

Skimmer: Bubble Magus Curve 7

Lighting: 1 Maxspect Razor 160w

Return pump: Jebao Dc 6000

Wavemaker: 1 x Jebao Wp25 (may get 1 more in future)

FR: FR 30 with biopellet

Refregium: Chaeto with miracle mud

Sand: Caribsea black pacific live sand (just 1 inch)

Chiiler: Hailea HS-66A (still in box)

Added a few pieces of live rock to the dry rocks from the last tank crash & the tank is into its 8 day of cycling.

That's all now ...pls feel to comment :thumbsup:

Nice write up bro! The scape is beautiful too.

Think u can add one more wp25 each on both ends using w1 with s1-2.

Thumbs up!

Thanks bro

wp25 is at w1 with s-2 now. Ok, will get 1 more when cycling is complete - use Else mode on 2nd wave maker for random effect?.

but not sure wave makers are better to placed at opposite ends or same end.....any advice ?

Nice rocks. Where do you get them? Hand itchy already. The right structure looks like an animal such as a dog or horse. :) You got a dog at home right?

rock was from my previous 4x2x2 that crashed managed to save some rocks + dry rocks. Got them from Iwarna & ah beng.

u must have a dog at home too to notice. yes I have a west highland, think sub-consciously scape him in :yahoo:

As much as I thought. That's the power of the subconscious mind, something you can tap for divination. :thumbsup:

Actually got 2 dogs..

This fellow sleeps on my bed every night.. :D

Nice scaping. And I just changed to the same pump as yours - jebao dc6000. Excellent pump and can choose different flow rate w different power watts. Even max at 6000 l/hr the consumption is only 40 watts!

thanks bro, Jebao pump so far so good - I like the low watts consumption :thumbsup: .

it has a cool feeding mode to go along too
