Think i decided to go with a triangular formation...not that i have many choices though!ahah!I am deciding between 2...

This 1 is compact together...

This 1 has a space in the center to allow me to add another white LED just in case...(but i am afraid the color won't blend well)

Pls take into consideration the weight of the 2 heat sink you have.

Other alternatives are

1) If you can create a hang model - that might be safer.

Use the Acrylic to build a "wrap" wrong the lights.

2) Use the acrylic to build a canopy for the tank.

91litres:OK!i think there should be enough room for rocks/equipment...

jacky:Yea will ask the advice from the people at DAMA on the weight issue..

I thought of the hang model/canopy also initially but i wanted to have a way to hide the hoses and wires without using OYAMA paper..(LOL..just me and my crave for aesthethics!)If my design not approved by DAMA advisors then i might change to the hanging type i guess...Thanks for your help!

Beats me...I was shock too when i saw my test kit turn from yellow to dark green...zzzz!But i think it is due to the massive die-offs of the bristle-worms and pods....

But a wierd thing was the 2 crabs i saw in the tank died as well!!!I tot crabs are quite hardy...or maybe the 8ppm ammonia was too much to handle...

Looks like my cycling is gonna be a lonnnng one...do you guys suggest bacteria dosing?Any specific brand?

don't dose. just wait.

Or you can get some live sand from reefers here.

inverts have poor tolerance to high levels of NO3 and copper. if NO3 already cannot tahan, what about ammonia? hahaha

i thoughtfosing bac during cycling helps build the bio system?

I can only recall reading not dosing somewhere.

Just let nature takes its course and build up the bacteria.

Pls feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
