Anchorman Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 The tank should place away from the window to avoid the direct sunlight and tank temperature fluctuations. Anyway it is a nice setup. 1 Quote My tank setting: Size : 48" x 24" x 24" Return pump: 1 x Vectra S2, 1 x Eheim 1264 Skimmer: Skimz DC skimmer SV203 Lighting : Maxspect Razor R420R 160W Chiller : 1hp drop coil compressor Wave maker : 2 x Nero 5 , 1 x Tunze 6055 Top up : Tunze Osmolator Universal 3155 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duranx Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 You are right about the sunlight. getting a fair bit of algae growth on the sunny side!!! anyway got the ato reservoir custom made from a person in carousel username : petiterainbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duranx Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 On a slightly positive side, the coralline and coral growth on the sunny side is much better too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luenny Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Nice unique scape. How long do you have to cycle the tank before putting in fishes? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duranx Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hi, thanks for the kind words. I put in fish only about 2-3 months after I started the tank in October 2020. Having said that, I think the tank only somewhat matured / stabilised around 5-6 months after starting. have managed to overcome algae /diatom issues..now the next goal is to achieve a powdery white sand ....which I somewhat don’t think I can achieve. along the way I was tempted with dosing bacteria numerous times...but was always reluctant as I had felt that they were not long term sustainable options. one of the reasons why I chose a pillar reef type of scape was to maximise the amount of rock I can place into the tank without making the tank look crowded. I believe one of the most important biological filter mechanisms is via the porous rock. This is evidenced by the numerous 2-3 year old tanks I have visited at other reefers whom sometimes have broken down Skimmers / ats and all they have is simple rocks and pumps running.

Duranx Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 After weeks of reading decided to replace my deltec 1500 to a skimmer that is actually rated for my tank volume (approx 500l with sump). Everything was going great with the deltec 1500 until about 1 month ago. Kept overflowing no matter what adjustment I did. After researching a fair bit about oversizing of skimmers (contentious) decided that this could be the reason. clearly the deltec 1500 was oversized for my tank vol. however initially with the higher amount of die off / bio load, I managed to tune the skimmer adequately. Now that things are somewhat stable and perhaps the amount of DOC is not sufficient for a constant skim. Well it’s just my theory...let’s see.

Duranx Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 On a side note I have an used deltec 1500 ( non adjustable pump) for sale. let me know if anyone is keen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duranx Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 As a newbie, was very cautious about sps. am very happy that I managed to get them to encrust and get some reasonable growth over the last 4-5 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duranx Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 New skimmer much better. Much easier to tune for my needs! Hope it remains that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
