    Goondoo's trial

    Always wanted to try out marine. Managed to get hold of a used 3 footer and set up an initial scape (note to self: never get a tank of more than 2ft height again, back really hurts now) of what I had in mind. Iwarna's Victor had been extremely nice for accommodating to my 3 hours request to deliver the NSW (actually, i was just trying my luck, happen that the staff is free and available. Thanks Victor!).

    I would not go into the mechanical details. Currently, the return is about 7000l/h, will be powered by a 250w MH (collecting on Saturday) and will be using a Teco TW4 chiller at 28dC.

    This is just a quick snap using my phone camera.


    More will come after I start adding live stocks....

    Welcome to the dark side Billy!

    Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.

    Thanks BFG....

    Just some updates:
    Added 250w MH light.
    Added a Tunze Wavebox nano and Tunze 6025
    Added live rocks from my existing holding tank, decomming holding tank soon...

    Rocks were slightly rearrange for caves as priority. The Tunze 6025 aims directly into one on the main access of the caves to create flow within.
    I like the new MH lights added, the colour is nice Now to search for a cheap'o pump and my purchase for equipments shall be complete (for now, at least)

    Was monitoring the power with a digital device, about 500w when chiller is running...

    Cheers and Regards,

    I think the power consumption bounced quite a bit after activation of scrubber set. Will monitor the 24hrs reading again tomorrow.

    Mean while, took some quick shots today before the batteries ran dry....

    Not really, just a couple of cheap mushrooms and leather coral from my existing tank which I tore down. I am not comfortable with my tank cycling without anti-mozzie prescription so I added a pair of $2 clowns. Still pretty much of rock scape now.....
    I'll be looking forward to your tank. Scaping this have really give me a hard time. Your work will definitely give me more inspiration.
