Gorgeous mesoleucos butterfly, from the pic looks like a nice size too. Elongatus is a rare anthias from japan. Taiwan may be catching these anthias but they dun sell cos most likely those caught

Whilst tearing down my old tank, have been planning my new tank with reddevils. The initial thought was to take a short break from chionging LFS, reefing etc. The break will only last 2 months sadly,

NICE... So decided to stick with MH instead?

yah. i really no $$ to go LED... dont even have enough to go first hand MH... so i use 2nd hand. the metal abit tarnished but nvm lah. it's on the outside. inside not as shiny as brand new 1 of course :)

but i'm considering supplementing the MH with blue LED. :)

nice tank and handy work from Vincent, :score: can't wait to see the complete scaping/stocking from this massive real estate space! :peace:

I really like the sump design Lemon :welldone:

Section 3 will be such an ideal place for dsb refugium, are you planning to do that ?

thanks cedric! :)

section 3 will be a refugium for more finicky fishes before they go into the display. After quarantine, they will go to the display. However for fishes that need more time learning to feed, they go into section 3 to fatten up first.

it will have sand and rocks with chaeto, but no DSB. it's not a big area so i don't think having DSB there will make much of a difference.

Why dont consider runing a Zeovit reactor ? It will help keep your No3 and P04 in control without all the Rowa ect..dry.gif

tank is officially completed!

piping done

overflow teeth installed

sump tank fish training compartment teeth installed

cycling will start end of next week when water and liverocks are all in. will use this coming week to hunt for rocks, sand, test kits, wavemakers etc etc....

lighting is being done soon.

2 x 250W MH, 10k BLV bulbs.

to add blueness to the tank, will supplement with 4X 39W T5, blue. 2 at the front and 2 at the back.

Sad to say, the 2nd hand compressor is too old and worn out to use. so have to hunt for a new one. but it's ok. no need chiller and lights for cycling anyway :)

we want some pictures of your sump! i think your sump will be an ideal place to grow and experiment with funny things.

ok.

here's the picture of the completed sump with skimmer and the two return pumps.

on the left, you can see the section in which the experimenting of funny things will be done. the overflow teeth has been done for that section to prevent adventurous livestock from swimming out.
