adtan2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Hi Bros and Sis, NEW-biee here on Marine Tank. It has been a couple of months since I started to have interest on Marine tanks. Looking at pictures, following threads and finally made up my mind to setup one. After visiting AQUARAMA 2015, it infuriated my longing to have like and so I started buying the necessary equipments. It has been a past few days that I ordered my tank, (long weekend) finally it will be delivered tomorrow. I know that I could be guided by experienced reefers out there. I admire the patience and efforts to the marine tank hobbyists. And I hope I could be like one someday. And so my journey starts. Below, my is my setup. Feel free to comment. It will be fully appreciated. Cheers REEFERS!

adtan2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hi guys, can you id what are those tiny particles floating around? My rpumo is at its lowest return aswell as my wavemaker. Im also using filter sock to my drain. But cant figure out what to do. :/ capturedvideo.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Zhi Long Oh Posted June 4, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted June 4, 2015 The rocks seem to have occupied a large chunk of the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeneryx Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I find your water damn clear. Maybe get a filter sock with smaller micron. Or maybe lift your wm abit. Might be causing some stir in the sand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member daveyy Posted June 4, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted June 4, 2015 What a beautiful tank! Initially I ordered this tank from EOA, but their supplier ###### up in the end i cancel the order. Non the less, very promising setup side note, your bottom left rock abit too big? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adtan2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Thanks guys. Those floating things really bothers me. I hope it's only substrate particles. Will do paramters in a while. I had also put my wm higher and on intermittent low blow mode, as well as my return pum on its lowest return. With regards to the rocks, I purposely ordered extra for cycling and when finish i could put some in the sump. I am also using sock and running my skimmer with clear bubbles so far. I will buy some more micro filter later. Will update soon. TGIF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted June 17, 2015 SRC Supporter Share Posted June 17, 2015 Looks good. Looking forward to future updates. I see you are using the 100 micron filter sock (red ring). These are great for clearing up the water fast but can clog quite quickly when livestock is added. A 200 micron (blue ring) is also available which could 'last' a couple of days longer.

Admiraltian Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Those nylon type from Madpetz quite gd quality. Come with inner filter wool bag. Can last abt 1 wk without washing. If u dun want to wash ur filter sock so often. Juz get a lot of those inner filter wool bag. Throw away after every wk use. The outer nylon sock can Juz wash once a mth depending on how dirty it is.

SRC Supporter ReDDeviLs Posted June 19, 2015 SRC Supporter Share Posted June 19, 2015 current rockscape looks much better. bro, watch out for your filter socks, if it overflows it would flow out of the sump.
