SRC Member edmund_23 Posted September 15, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted September 15, 2016 Finally back to reef after i decomm my 422.. As a family man, 1st obstacle to reef is permit from ur minister of home affair. I finally got thru and hold the permit in hand.. 1 stage cleared. Recap abit, 1st tank was a 40cm cube IOS then upgraded to a 422. More details can search around for my old thread. Back to topic. Choosing between 3x1.8x1.8 IOS or a 322 with sump.. Final decision go to 322 with sump as I got it free from a reef from another forum. Good gesture. Called up 3 mover to get quote and finally decided to hire TMAS (Tank Mover Aquatic Services) from the usually mover i always hire. The service is good and they will go the extra miles to make life easier for u. Tank arrived! Setting up.. The previous owner cleaned up the tank that save me alot alot of trouble. Done! Current Equipment list: 1) 322 with sump (normal 12mmglass) 2) Ehiem 1260 return pump ( Free with tank) 3) 3ft T5 (Free with tank) Plan list: 1) Maxspect Razor Led 2) Jecod Crossflow 3) Durso Piping 4) Jebao 9000 return pump 5) BM C7 skimmer 6) ATO 7) 2x Fan Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
