Next month but when exactly i dun know. I saw a preview of some of the solid corals GO will be bringing in for the coming shipment and I told Shan I might want to reserve some of them if the price is right...

I think the pic is over saturated.

The lights are finally in! Steve and Atu came by yesterday afternoon.....

First, the T5s... 2 tubes of ATI T5 39 Watt 36" True Actinic.... Atu got it fixed on the custom aluminium frame.

Placing the frame and T5s on the hood

Heres the Coralvue Lumen Bright reflectors with the 250watt,12000k Reeflux Metal Halide bulbs from Coralvue.

Placement of all the lights....

From another angle...

A lousy front tank shot for now. I haven't had the time yesterday to get out my tripod and camera to take a nice shot. I also have to figure out what the white balance tweaking should be. The photos don't represent the true colour I see with my eyes....

Hi, just wonder how do you prevent rain from the side? I am struggling to find a good solution (mine is at the balcony with rain that can come in by the side).. I fixed up a blind by the side but lately the wind is so strong at night and i dun think it is a long term solution (the blind might give way??).. I know u have experience previously as well (fresh water?) so wonder what do u use to block the rain?

Bro,

Get a contractor to come and build an acrylic roof and side for you... should cost round about $300 to $400 ++.

Sure. No problem. let me do it tonight. But its really just an inverted "L" support. The aluminium frame rests on it.

Some update photos.... I've bought some corals over the last week.

First, a Front Tank Shot. This time with a tripod....

A shot of the right side of the reef.

Some close ups...

I spot a v. nice yellow clown goby. Where did you get it from? Is it feeding already?

[TayHongSiang]

Leave some space on top for SPS...yr tank is suitable for SPS and its gonna look wow.

[ReDDeviLs]

hi bro,thanks for the pic.

juz to let u know, my former MH was something like that too.

the screws are the 1 holding the MH. so make sure u "maintain" or watch them once they rust they will become weak and falls off.

but may take some time.. which is even more dangerous bcos we tend to forget it since its there for years haha.

MH dropping in is no joke

I know what you mean! I'll definitely keep a look out. I might just hook up the frame to the aluminium roof I'm having built just to be safe. Thanks for the reminder!
