Lily pipe for marine. Are you the first one who use this?But coralline algae (purple encrusted type) will grow on the lily pipe... will need to soak in vinegar once in a while... more work to maintain

!!!!
of course you stick from behind! haha... what i meant is... well i assumed your tank is close to the wall already. so given the situation, how are you going to stick the oyama paper.
i know i newbie, but don't like that LA!

piang... I must be crazy!! followed and read through the 4 pages!!
No, I didn't use Oyama. I printed a background colour using a Xerox machine and paste it to the back using Scotch tape. This will offer more flexibility in the future!!!!

Here's a pix of my tank with the background.
Another view of the tank... showing the mix of T5 tubes in use.
The rockscape may look flat from front view... it's actually not that flat. Here's an angle that shows the space between the rocks. I purposely placed them in such a way to maximize water flow... to prevent dead zone. But the gaps/holes can be ugly, so they are all facing this angle... which is not the usual viewer's angle as it's blocked by my work desk.

wow! where are the corals! 1 more month? i cant wait!
Thanks... still not too happy with the visual effect... may try something different along the way.
More or less there... especially those sensitive corals. Can always start with hardy fish first
amazingly beautiful as usual jervis
Wah! my first time reading a Marine tank Thread and its amazes me... im getting poisoned!
by the way, Great thread and great looking tank. Cant wait to see more!
ps: Don't neglect your Planted ok. Im still waiting for the full tank shot!

Newbie in this exciting hobby
Impressive setup Jervis. Marine setup seem to be fun as it has more gadget to play with.
BTW, regarding the "LED lighting"; did you try the adjustment chart provided by Oceanus to do the setting to the lighting colour you need? Anyway, I also find it not as bright even for planted tank. Maybe such lighting intensity already enough for the plants or corals I am not sure?
Agree that more of such products will be launching in very near future.
Drove down to a LFS in the west to look at the new LED fixture that they are selling... $1350 for a 2ft fixture which is quite reasonable considering the savings in the long term.
But that fixture is not bright enough (in my opinion) to satisfy some of the corals I intend to keep. So I've decided to stick to T5... at least for the time being. I'm sure there will be a lot more LED products launching in the coming 6 months
Here's how the tank looks like now with the ATI Powermodule 4 x 24W T5 HO. Will add a coloured background soon to camouflage the two black thing
The tubes are old and temporary... will get some new ones before I start to stock my tank with corals.
Welcome to visit my-blog
Thanks! Glad you find it... err... inspirationalamazingly beautiful as usual jervis
You get poisoned so easily?
Thanks for the reminder... I seriously need to perform water change for the 4ft
Yupe!Impressive setup Jervis. Marine setup seem to be fun as it has more gadget to play with.
Here's a video clip showing what the little Tunze Nano Wavebox can do
Will have to put in some swaying LPS to judge the final effect... damnMust resist the temptation
Good news! The Elos skimmer is foaming up
Can't wait for this guy to produce some dark coffee
Elos leh ,,, must foam in no timeGood news! The Elos skimmer is foaming up
Can't wait for this guy to produce some dark coffee

what does the foaming indicates?
from flying planes, to planting underwater plants
Foaming indicated that the protein skimmer pump has "run-in"... in most cases pumps will take around 2 to 7 days to "run-in"... in other words produce enough fine bubbles to start working.
But if you wanna know what is a protein skimmer for... in a nutshell it's the most effective filtration system money could buy
