SRC Member reefercoral Posted May 24, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted May 24, 2020 Just sharing my tank build Converted my fresh water Fluval Flex 15g into marine tank Started Aug 2019. Still a noob. Tank : Fluval Flex 15g Light : Maxspect Razor Nano. Added AI prime HD reef later due to shadowing. Skimmer : Eshopp Nano Wavemaker : Ecotech MP10wqd (Middle), Tunze Nanostream 6040 (Right bottom to blow detritis) Chiller : Hailea HK-150A ATO : AutoAqua AWC Auto Dosing : Jebao Doser 3.4 FTS with no filters. Just point and shoot with my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member reefercoral Posted May 24, 2020 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 24, 2020 Inhabitants: 2 clownfish 1 sixline wrasse Many Trochus snails Still Looking for tailspot blenny, anyone? Tank specifications: https://fluvalaquatics.com/us/product/flex-aquarium-kit-15-us-gal-57-l/ Modifications: Had to replace the original foam filter as it traps too much detritus. Marine really produces a lot of detritus. Even though I only have 3 fishes, the amount of detritus that accumulates in my tank in a week is a lot (to me)! Initially replace 2nd chamber with 3d printed modification as below: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3639353 However chamber 1 still accumulates detritis and I got tired of keep trying to siphon detritus out. Replaced chamber 2 with skimmer and put intank chamber 1 in place with floss and maxspect bioballs during CB https://intankaquatics.com/intank-chamber-one-media-basket-fluval-flex-15-and-57l/ Detritus management is much easier with this as the flow goes one way though the top and detritus gets trapped above, making it easier to clean. So far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member reefercoral Posted May 24, 2020 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 24, 2020 Setup: Chamber 1: Bioballs, Filter floss, Rowaphos in between filter floss to prevent it from contaminating my tank from leak Chamber 2: Skimmer, more bioballs, pump to DIY macroalgae reactor Chamber 3: Return pump, Purigen Dosing: Jebao Doser 3.4 - Microbacter 7 , ESV 2 part. However, I find air bubbles keep getting into the tubes which makes dosing unreliable. I push the tubes tight into the socket but somehow air bubbles still get in. Anyone has any suggestion on how to tackle this? Kept this tank as I liked the curved front surface which gives a magnified view of its inhabitants.

SRC Member finind Posted June 13, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hi, How do you find the Haelia HK-150A chiller? is it noisy? Need to get a more powerful chiller for my 50L tank. Wonder if HK-150A or HS-28 is better .. especially noise level Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
