The Pink Yuma was badly damaged and is recovering in the sump. Sorry, not ready for photo yet.

The Tear Drop Maxima has been with me for about two years. It has grown from about 3.5" to 6". Kind of hard to get a close-up photo as it is in the center of the tank. Here's the best I could do at the moment.

Photo taken with flash.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Wishing everyone good health and happiness in the Year of the Rooster.

Here's a under-the-hood look at the sump and equipment.

On the right, is the fresh water topup reservoir that is built as part of the sump tank. At the highest level, it can hold 24 litres of fresh water. Based on my tank's current evaporation rate, it should last me about 10 days.

Above the reservoir, is the TUBBY mounted to the cabinet. Saves space and less messy wiring everywhere.

On the left, you'd see a removable white shelf which I had requested my tank maker to build for me. This allows me to maximise the space above the main returm and chiller pumps.

Looks good. Neat and tidy. Gong Xi Gong Xi.

Bro, your sump cabinet super neat man. Got time to come over and clear mine?

Really excellent stuff. Better not show this photo to my wife. It's a tough act to follow.

Sure, no problem ... and while I'm at it, maybe I can help to clear some of the gems in your reef too ... ... I just love your reef and especially the Monti Cap waterfall feature.

Bro, it doesn't matter how my sump looks if I can have my reef half as beautiful as yours.

Thanks riot. It's quite easy to do. I use the label maker to mark out the water level for my sump too.

[RAV-65]

[DeepBlue]

[typrobin]

i thought sump supposed to be for us to throw all equipments in??

william, u broke the rule...hahahhhaa...it looks more like a center piece now...

[williammuk]

Hello all, thank you very much for your kind comments.

Bro DB, I'm not sure I deserve the pedestal you've generously put me upon. Thank you anyway. I'm still learning and am no way near as advance or as knowledgeable as many of the senior reefers here.

Bro RAV-65 & typrobin, I've no intention for it to steal the attention away from the tank leh ... but I do want the cabinet/sump area to look neat. Else, I'll get a headache everytime I open the cabinet doors. Actually, I think it makes maintenance easier too.

Did you notice that there are no electrical power sockets inside the cabinet? They are all mounted behind the cabinet. That helps to reduce the messy wiring dangling everywhere.

Wishing Everyone A Healthy & Happy Lunar New Year!

I think my Alveopora wants to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day.

Honestly, the photo wasn't doctored. There were indeed a few tentacle that had heart-shaped tips. I was pleasantly surprised too.

Those of you with Alveoporas should check yours too.
