Hi Steve

Notice all your power sockets are just above your sump. This could be dangerous and salt spray can be very corrosive and in no time there might be electrical short circuit within the power block. I had my tank burnt down in 2006 making this mistake (former tank been run from 1995). Very costly experience beside need to clean up the floor as it flood my hall.

Here's what I do to my tank now (setup since 2007):-

1. Place the power block as far as possible from the sump.

2. All pumps cables, skimmer cables...etc are run into cable tubes if possible.

3. Regular maintenance on the equipment include the power block by cleaning them with dry cloth.

Just my 2 cents.

[stevenkoh08]

ya god point bro will see what i can do and re-arrange the power point

Hi bro,

The SM scrubbers you made are in white?

[ibanez]

bro who is your tank maker?

The piping work in your main tank is a bit unusual. the valve is pretty obvious.

[stevenkoh08]

hi bro the scrubber box up is black just that the lighting casing is sliver in color

[stevenkoh08]

oh ya as for the piping valve is that i fix it myself as u can see there's three outlet point

and for y i place it this way is cause of lesser distance for higher flow hope this answer ur question

[reef999]

Bro, 6mm glass thickness looks too thin for your sump.

But you got quite a number of baffle so hope can "tahan" a bit.

Any pictures of your scrubber internal view?

[stevenkoh08]

k i'll take some photo and ya it have alot of centre partition act as holding as well

[stevenkoh08]

wow now with full 3set 180w

[LaW]

hi steven,

i find that you will need larger rocks for that kind of tank size. what do you think?

[chercm]

hi steven,

i find that you will need larger rocks for that kind of tank size. what do you think?

i agree to that too....

[stevenkoh08]

ya i also agree i've some bigger one in my 4ft will use to stack on top in later part after the cycle as there's still fish in the 4ft

[ambystoma82]

any updates on the scrubber ?

[stevenkoh08]

not yet for my this tank as just started the cycle means no nutrien nor LS inside to have alea bloom in the scrubber so after 5days still no sign of it water too clean haha

so far after think and see around no other place can place the power block so what i do is to install a fan to on when the cabinet is in the warm period

so like this it'll prevent any evaporation to go the the power or metal area

i'll also do as what u said cleaning up and proper maintanace of the equipment is important

[stevenkoh08]

now my next project will be DIY a wavebox with a Resun DC pump

1.) It'll have the timer for interval on off by speed control (How frequent of the wave)

2.) Have a min of 4 stage of flow rate ( To have a different weak to strong wave)

The wavebox controller it done

component use only have 3 analog timer by soundtech

1. it stil having the ramdom phase when manually and timer not on

2. u can have 24hr transiction period act as high tide and low tide of whatever timing u wan

3. ha ha an interval on off (which i haven't got the switch yet)

take a look at the pic which don't really explain much will try to upload a video once able to

[reef999]

What is the model of the Resun DC pump? Is it come with the controller?

[stevenkoh08]

it a 15000L/H pump DC 24v

yes it already come with a controller but u only able to control the interval of time delay on each mode

so u cannot choose to stay at which mode

that the reason need to mod it however i still remain the original mode as and when i i wish to use

with extra future i add on a timer to each mode so i can simulate the ocean like of high to low tide in every 6hrs changes

[starwars71]

Wow ! Fast Hand, Fast Legs mod already... Nice work.

[stevenkoh08]

all tks to u bro to make it possible now only waiting to see when free go and buy parts to mod the interval on off

special tks to u will help u with ur ext thermostat soon k

by the way i still own a bro here for his lighting (moonlight)
