have a same tank size with you,the tunze 6060 is overpowered for this tank size go for the Seio 1100,it will do more justice to you sand ;)

think u might be right, no matter how i adjust the direction of the tunze also got sand storm. .

Update:

Current LS includes 1 bamboo shark, 1 blue spotted sting ray and a triggerfish.

Blue spotted sting ray already feeding on frozen market prawns. . seems easy to upkeep. Only essential thing is a large swimming space.

Live rocks muz be extremely secure and stable after scaping. Learn this thru experience after my centre rock scape collapse, but luckily no casualties.

Both bamboo shark and Stingray feeds on market prawn. . luckily. .

trigger is a nuisance, tends to steal food from the slower bamboo shark. ;)

New rock scape after my previous attempt collapse.

p.s. the corner live rocks are meant to prevent the tunze from stirring up the sand. temporary measure.

sweet tank..big space

bro, i am flattered. Planning to replace my current skimmer with a beckett, have to save $$$.

Anyway initially i wanted to keep exotic fishes like lionfish etc. . however they require live food and this might be quite an issue for me. Considering a tangs+angels tank, only question is weather they can withstand a temperature of 28-29 degrees.
