CHIO sia!!

Hey dude, can show me your sump shot and the full tank shot (from head to toe) one? Pls?

[minsmarine]

To share what I have

This is my sump, same size as main tank, center part is meaned for DSB, so far not trace of DSB kick in yet. But not giving me problem, so I am not going to worry.

Sump , 90 x 45 x 40 Cm and 8W T8 light is on for 14hrs

You could see my CR feed pump ( 600L/hr ) in right skimmer section.

[minsmarine]

My Micro JS300 Skimmer is next to

Korallin 3001 CR.

AMR is choice for CR and u could see 12Lb of AMR left with that much only. I am not going to change all , but to top up next month.

[minsmarine]

Main Tank's temp.... swing between 23.1 - 24.8. Would say steady @ 24.3

[minsmarine]

This is the one cooling my SPS tank

1/4 HP

Day time , lights on 20 mins run time and 30-40 mins off.

Night time, run time 20 mins 50 mins off.

Chiller servers me as Shoes Warmmer As well as you could see in the picture

2 Resun 1000 FR next to it.

Activated Carbon

and

PO4 Absorber

Havent change for 3 months and not going to change for next 3 months.

HF 20 drive Chiller and return back to main tank.

Another HF 20 drive 2 FR in serial.

[minsmarine]

My new addition to Sump

I was reading about this in RC for awhile and trying out.

You could see a few DEAD SPS Killed by Angles and Hydro geeeeeeeeee

[minsmarine]

All these pictures are taken with this 5 years old Sony Handycam, yesterday and today. And no touch to photo other than resize.

1M Pixels with Super Steady Shot.

Nothing to shout about, I guess now is almost worthless, since 5M Pixels costs only a few hundred dollars.

[minsmarine]

Please comments and advises.

I am still new to SPS, I blowed off 2 full SPS tanks.

Bicolor blenny nipped off all SPS in my first tank

and

Second one was human fault. I poured 10L of Kalkwasser within 5 mins.

Any more info needed please let me know. Willing to share and debeat if needed.

But please remember, this is a hobby. What you believe is what you believe, it's not what I believe.

Happy Reefing.

[minsmarine]

Oh yea forget again, getting old huh

this is my DIY 6 x 39w HO T5

Supplied by DE.

Hood is build by my brother with SBS_Transit help.

[minsmarine]

My tank is next to windy corridor window and next to main door. I used to cool down tank with 2 x AC Fan to reach @ 28 in day time and @ 25 night. However, very noisy a lot noiser than CL650.

I bought the chiller from BioOcean with very good after sale service. Chiller broke down on 4th weeks and sent out for repair ( almost a month ), Kenny ( BioOcean ) gave me a 1/3 HP chiller loan for the entire periods. Thump Up for their services.

And thanks to all those people @ BioOcean.

However, China made is china made, after repair this guy very noisy. Used to be very very quiet. So no complain since can't afford expensive brand

[Ancelot]

Hmm how's the skimmate of your JS300?

[minsmarine]

I believe in dry skimate. So tuned to give me dry ( water level is lower than guide ).

Clean once a week, pump was not off while cleanning.

The skimmer's neck is almost full with dry skimate while I get about 200ml of black coffee.

[Ancelot]

Nice skimmate then~ Hehe

Where you live?
