Hi, I am relatively new in the marine aquarium and reefing arena. Thanks to this forum for the active members sharing. Been planning, researching and mentally prepares for having this newest hobby of mine.

Recently, abt 3wks ago, bought a second hand shallow 4ft tank frm fellow reefer.

Arrange a tank mover, Neo, for the transfer.

And within 30mins, the tank is already in my home. Fast and professional service by bro Neo.

Nice tank. Bro u might want to lower ur light a bit, else the PAR might not be intense enough for corals

Thanks bro for the advice.

Why did u change ur tank so sudden?

Actually, i juz want to do a new cabinet, then after much consideration and since i do nt hv livestock yet, i decides to have a deeper tank. with the new cabinet plan and old tank, i am left with only 10-11 inch of viewing display.

Thats y la.
