Davissim Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hi Bro and Sis! Started reefing not long ago as inspire by my brother tank as his tank is so colourful when I still keep freshwater in the end switching fresh to salt hahaha! Firstly I started by 2×1×1.5 without and sub tank and just couldn't keep the parameters stable as I thought small tank is easier as I didn't did more research as my bro keep giving me advise and i choose not to listen and believe in myself, In the end my tank crash and some corals has been bleach and some dead and now starting to start slow and don't wanna be a kan chiong spider hahaha hope any sifu and reefer can give me some advise on reefing. Here's my tank and sub system graph.

SRC Supporter Harlequinmania Posted August 11, 2016 SRC Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2016 Looking good .. you are using a dc 9000 as your main return pump? Look like a little bit overkillSent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote 1000 Gallon Tank in the Hole http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/topic/120957-1000-gallon-3d-hole-in-the-wall/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted August 11, 2016 SRC Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2016 Nice setup! Look forward to updates. I noticed that the return pump is in the same compartment as the skimmer. This means that the water level may not be consistent => skimmer performance may vary. It may over skim if water level is higher, underskim if too low. Hence, an auto top up system is probably required.
