Hi everyone and Happy CNY. Well its been a long and costly 3 yrs reefing for me with mixed results. My previous setup crashed 3 times to be frank over the years but everytime i would learn from mistakes plus good advice from fellow reefers helped bring me back on track.

A few weeks back i aquired a bigger setup from a fellow reefer who had to give up the hobby due to moving of house. Heres sime pics of my new setup which i am slowly sourcing and stocking up on the right equipment which semi-cycling the tank.

Heres more updated pics on my setup which i worked on during the first few days during CNY whenever i had time. Rockscaping was a backbreaking and frustrating ordeal for me as the tank was tall and i had decided to go sandless thus stacking the rocks in a stable position was difficult. I love the center piece rock i picked up from my work place island. Good for placing SPS. More rocks will be transfered from my current tank once the water paremeters for this new setup is stable enuf.

Heres a pic of my sump now running on macro skimmer, was FOC with the tank so running it til my new skimmer from the states comes in. My old beckett was too tall to go into the cabinet sadly so i had to get a new skimmer. The macro does its job without fuss i should say, not bad for a Taiwan skimmer.

Pic of my conversion of the Korallin C-1501 CR into a S-1501 Bio-Denitrator. Conversion was really simple, just disabled the CO2 inlet and poured 50% sulphur beads 50% ARM calcium media with a sponge in between them. Its currently in the run in stage so i cant give u guys and results yet. Just got it running an hr ago. Will posts results a week or so from now.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Sorry bro forgot to answer ur questions. Yes the footprint about 15cm. Approx. 1.2kg of sulphur beads was used. And from what i can see now the bubbles trapped inside the denitrator r getting lesser and lesser by day which means the bacteria is starting to colonize inside and eat off the oxygen as intended. NO3 still remains at 20ppm with no livestock introduced so far.

Hey Soul...

Here's the 250w Giesemann MH. Super neat alright!

see pix for reference.

The ballast (think it's magnetic ballast) - white colour, clean. Doesn't even look yellowish

Close up of the ballast - showing proof of Germany product.

Ah... now, the pair! Pendant + ballast, even the connector is of super quality.

Pendant comes with a pair of metal chain (rust-free). They're adjustable as well.

You can view first, not fully satisfied, you can reject! Made in Germany, at this price... it's a steal liao!
