Mr Clean magic eraser. Heard that this is very good for Acrylic tanks.

Got 2 dozens of it. Will try the Daiso melamine sponge later when I run out of these.

Definitely at least LPS.

If time is manageable, hope to move to SPS.

Thinking of just getting frags since mine is such a small tank.

Will be very rewarding to see frags fill up the tank.

Yup know how it goes. Gotta convince the wife.

I spend 4 years convincing her to have a small tank INSIDE the house.

My previous tank was sited at the balcony outdoor due to her concern with saltwater sprays.

hope your wish come true soon. SO yeah... as you said it - Good things take time :)

hi , did not noticed you have a tank thread up , i'm sure the tank will hold up well , since my 4ft acrylic sump still holding up well for almost 1 yr already,

i also thinking of asking Henkabe to do a 4ft tank for me but not sure if they able to do up a strong 4x2.75x2 tank or not. but anyway it wont be this yr , maybe next yr. anyway if your rocks are not in yet , i would suggest that you spent a little more and get 1 big pc of nice LR to put in the tank , to avoid the issue of topping rocks as that would leave scars on your tank for sure

Too bad for me, my 5 rm flat does not have a balcony... :rolleyes:

Will try to get her to agree soon as I'm considering getting a decomm tank set from someone. :eyebrow:

She's still pretty annoyed about the salt water sprays from my nano tank... <_<

Wah... 4 ft acrylic......

yeah was thinking about the rocks falling too.

Would like to have a lot of caves and crevices so that fishes can hide.

I do not think I can find a big rock with those.

Most likely will get several small pieces with nice arcs, glue them together and have 2-3 separate large rocks.

I will not glue all the rocks together incase if i need redo some aquascaping for corals additions.

But yup, thanks for the advise on rocks topping.

For me, I really like the idea of having 2-3 big rocks in a 1.5 cube. Easy to scape, solid and steady. Try to build the model before buying the rocks :)

I have seen a reefer here who had a sort of 2.5 cube with 3 big rocks. Loved the scape, lots or crevice, nooks for fishes to sleep in, n had nice slopes to put corals, and all rose up to form a plateau . Just more ideas for you to consider!

let me know how it does. maybe i will downsize too or something..

You are referring to the Reefpack W3ish?

I think AhSiang and Bino are using the Tunze 9002 skimmer already.

For my review you have to wait another 4 weeks at least hehe

Mr Clean looks like a fag and never knew there were things like scratch removers lol!

Any special things in the interior of the cabinet?

Brown SPS > Kinder Surprise

White SPS = Kinder Surprise after expiry date

Assumption killed the dinosaurs, they didnt have test kits.
