Yo guys!

New start for me, after a few years with a big tank; now decided to re-start with a small tank;
Signs of age catching up fast :huh:

Trying hard to keep it simple, easy, low noise and low cost :huh:; and hopefully shiok enough to enjoy every night.

Tank: Size about 3 x 2 x 2 ft, IOS, so display only about 2.2 x 2 x 2.
I still do not like sump; find it messy and noisy :mellow:
Pump: Vortech M1
Chiller: Daikin compressor
Rocks: From previous tank; I got excess of 30kg of rocks after decided what rocks to use in my current mini tank.
Wavemaker: Still deciding whether I need one.

Yeah, the tank maker make the tank and the tank cabinet and the cabinet beside the tank. 

All customized; easier for me to design and fit into my living area :goodjob:

Nice tank, just curious how will the cooling coil fit into IOS?

Thanks yukok.lim08;
The titanium coil; I changed to a smaller one; it used up half the area of one half of the IOS.
The rest I fill up with mini rocks and will add in rowaphos + carbon there too.

Thanks Kenyee; 

No, no wool, dangerous item, can cause flooding....ha..ha....

Ordered the tunze skimmer squarish type which hopefully can fit in my IOS area.

I used 2 packets of carib live sands pink Bimini,

and 2 packets of natures ocean direct, which I pour in first coz they are finer.

Actually, not really into sand, but since my tank is mini....

Might as well go for the ocean beachie look :rolleyes:
