Thanks..yeap.. I do agree i've started since back then but recently i am out of this hobby for 6months due to exams etc.. so now i'm back , but abit rusty, not knowing what is what and expecially the equipments market. You bought your 1262 already? If not,maybe can lend me try it out on my tank

Is your tank cycling or still in the making?

For the skimmer, no need to test , just leave 2 running and im sure it will produce result for your sps..

I tested the eheim 1262 for my 6 footer before, its damn powerful compared to Aquabee 3000 or other pumps. unfortunately i have sold it already.

i am still in the midst of planning the tank man. . . .

Some updates:

Tank sld be coming very soon.

sump tank build to 2.5-3 ft instead of 2ft so that there is more playing space.

skimmer will be using ATI BM-250, unless can't fit into the sump.

cheers mate!!

Return pump: Eheim 1262 switched to Resun MD40 instead. Any objections?

Capacity,turnover rate wise, much better, but again, eheim is

When the tank is coming?

[yvoneysl]

What will be the wavemaker you planing to use for this tank apart form the flow from the return pump

I am hoping the tank will come today, if not latest by next week.

Eheim 1262 is 80 watts, 3600 litres/hr, which is very close to Resun MD40 (80 watts and 3800litres/hr.

For every Eheim1262 i buy, i can get 3 Resun Md40. lol. . .

For the 2ft cube, it will be bare-bottom as i anticipate sandstorms in future.

I will either add a tunze 6060 or tunze nanostream x2 (4500 litres model). Turnover wld be more than sufficent for such a small tank.

tOday! wonderful..

icic, yeah, Price differ lots. but different technology too..More flow is good.

and wow, your 2 nano streams will be making lots of turbluance

On my side, i just started cycling today too

[yvoneysl]

Agreed. eheim 1262 + tunze nanostream x2 (4500 litres model) will create 55-75 times of turnover per hour and lots of turbluance perfer by SPS... good choice

So did u manage to settle the flowrate for ur own reef tank?

A few nano streams and a good return pump will do the job.
