I kinda agree with peter. Perhaps you should browse the forums more to check on the latest updates before heading to the shops.

nice to see your setup bro.

you finally manage to get your tank :)

- where did you put the fan arh?

- Also the horizontal rock on the top seems to be blocking the view. if you put corals on top and on the rocks behind, will you be able to see them?

- Also do monitor the chiller's heat dissipation if you place it in the cabinet.

- you are using ceremic rings?

Eqpt: Deltec MCE 600, Tunze 6055 with Tunze 7091 controller, Artica 1/15 HP chiller, AquaIllumination Sol Blue LED Light System

2011 resolution : Do it simpler, better and in an easier way!

Thanks bro! Yes...finally....

Initially was putting the fan inside and the fan blowing towards the cupboard door.. then monitoring... :whistle

but realise later that the heat is still present and not circulating well...btw i bought a DYMAX fan..

I then put it at the back of the cupboard as there is already and opening and ledge it there...

the rocks behind is intended to put my best coral in future. about the horizontal rock..i agree with you might relocate if it blocks the intended coral i intend to put in future....

err...what is ceremic rings? :blink:
