Nice tank. Just a question...y the eurobracing is cut-off at the overflow box? Won't that weaken the eurobracing structure?

For a new tank, run rowa in a FR from day 1

Believe me, you will not regret it.

I did not have any algae bloom except for a minor one when I forgot to change the media. Now everything is clear of algae, even the sand!!!

Wow! Your DB's quite professionally done! Suppose you've some experience with electrical stuff or your profession?

Keep the pics coming!

Rowaphos is a phosphate absorbing media

FR stands for fluidised reactor which allows an even distribution of water to pass through the media and increases its efficiency :lo:

connection for the down pipe from overflow.

just my 0.02 cents view....

if possible, try to fix your return pump in such a way that it goes straight up to the main tank instead of going through 2 right angles. In this way, i believe you'll get more out of the pump.

btw, I'm staying at Senja Road. We can gang up...

Bro Sandman.

thks for the tips. am doing some modification work to it. cause now got space problem in fitting in a beckette. sad more work.....

lets keep in touch.

Cheers

since you can fix the chiller away inside the kitchen, perhaps you can do the same thing to your beckett since the area around your main tank seems pretty crowded. its nice to have reefers staying so near...

Having an elbow will increase energy losses in the return. Ha ha.. reefers staying so close will make your area more salty.
