Mmmm.... not afraid this kind of self assemble cabinet might nt take the weight of the tank filled with water?

Not when you see the actual cabinet.. built to last.. of course i don't trust my own skill to set up. So i got qian hu to set it up instead.

As far as I know the cabinet is coated with layer of marine epoxy paint to prolong the lifespan .

Hi Bro,

Good to see that you are going slow and steady.... after the cycling is complete, the ammonia level should goes down to zero  

Happy reefing !

Getting super dark skimate from the skimmer

Suggestion to diy a cover yea..stagnant water tend to collect dust on surface n might breed mozzies

been awhile since my last update, and basically i am talking the setup real slow due to the busy schedule. Some changes, upgrade i have done so far .

- Added a diverter board between the chiller and sump tank ( always wanted a place to drill and place all the controller inside the cabinet, and ask someone to make this for me . 

Before 

After 

 

[Reef2Max]

Added a stronger return pump as well, and remove my chiller pump. I try to cut down on the number of pump to use to reduce heat in the water and hopefully save some on the electricity bills 

So basically this new pump will pump water from my sump tank to my chiller then back to the main tank .

did some water parameter check yesterday, and nitrate is way high at 0.5 , and phosphate is at 0.04  .. still thinking of a way who to control this 

[Reef2Max]

I was doing some research online about the imbalance on high nitrate and low phosphate level in a tank, and it seem that the reason is due to the redfield ratio. So i tested it out and remove the rowaphos and using solely nop0x to help control the nutrient level and it really seem to help.

Recently testing show that my n03 is dropping as well now !

Looks like the tank is getting much more stable and matured...can tell from the corals puffing up nicely , good job Bro ! 

[Reef2Max]

Been awhile since I updated my tank thread.. haha

Has been neglecting the tank for a while due to busy work schedule and just did a major water change few day ago and coral seem to be opening up better now

Due to my neglection on the tank, there has been some green hair alage growing on my rock.... sad

Just bought a new bottle of nop0x today and hopefully it does helps combat my alage issue
