4x2x2 ft Tank

[Melvyn Tan]

A denitrator will take some time to be established to work maximally. It will be a good thing if you can kick start now to reduce the wait time later to handle the loadings in your tank which will invariably increased.

Got more live rocks today.

Full of coraline algae, most importantly the shape is nice.

i am planning to use one 250watt MH and one 150 watt MH.

Total 400 watt MH.

Can someone calculate how much it cost to have 400 watt of MH for 7 hours a day?

Overall look of my sump.

The water reserviour and Coral Labs Fr is hidden behind the kalkreactor.

Only equipment i left out is the calcium reactor, yet to install it.

[acidjazz]

Close up look on the tubby.

i diy the eggcrate to support the tubby.

Looks like everything's coming along nicely.

How's the skimmate from your schuran?

hey bro, sorry i have been busy. Yet to see your wonderful set up.

The schuran is giving decent skimmate at the moment. However, my LS is zero now. So i can't really tell how good it is.

However, i am just glad its only consuming 35 watt (aquabee pump) instead of my previous skimmer, the beckett which consumes 130 watt (resun md55)

halo bro,

estimated cost for 400 watt, 7 hours a day by 30 days will cost u around $15.34.

Cheers !!

dun pressure me lay....

Thanks so much bro.

I think i need to do a proper calculation on the maintenance of both the tanks.

Getting more "xiong" already.

[acidjazz]

Finally the chiller is here!

Arctica.

Powered with Aquabee 2000 pump, only 18 watt.

[akirasan]

thanks bro.

You'd be pleased to hear that it's actually cheaper than that. Going at the rate of $0.16 a KWH, it's actually $13.44.

Thanks bro. Maybe you can calculate my exact running cost of the tank.

Anyway i switched from beckett to Schuran due to the high power consumption.

When is your five footer coming? let me know, i see wad i can help.
