Preparing of the Rock.

I " Cook" all the rock with two round of RO/DI water with a little bit of lanthanum chloride in a big tube to help remove any residue or phosphate that might be present in the rock.

Let the cooking begin ...

What a great looking build. I love the modern concept of the living room. I can't wait to see it all come together.

Racking system

I will be using aluminium profile racking system for both the main tank and frag tank racking. i also found a very useful free online software which enable user to design their own profile and it is so easy to use. Just to share here for those DIY freaks

The outer wall dimension detail .

What a way to start the new year, i just found out few day ago my reno contractor did not follow the dimension i gave. The hole on the wall was smaller at 1830 mm , so my tank could be able to slot in ..

He still claim that i gave him the wrong dimension earlier, lesson learnt always have black & white drawing to your reno contractor.
So now, they have to adjust the wall again.

The other side of the wall will be a glass wall / sliding door .

My skimmer has arrived. The Deltec SC 2560 internal which i will be using two unit of this skimmer. Each unit is good for up to 2000 litres so it should be just nice together with my present unit. I always like to have an oversized skimmer but unfortunately my current budget doesnt allow so

...Oh well maybe at a later stage.

Lighting.

I always been a fan of LEDs lighting all these years of reefing , thus the lighting of my new tank will be powered mainly by 3 x AI Sol, 3 x AI Hydra , 2 X AI Hydra 52 together with 4 tube of T5 with Aqua Blue . This is the first time i am trying out LEDs with T5, and not sure how the result will be but i am keeping my finger cross. The lighting set may seem alittle bit overkill for a SPS tank, but maybe i will just take out 2 unit of Sol and use the rest depending on the result i get.

Drainage hole for the room just in case of flooding

Exhausted fan installed today

Harlequin Mania · Jan 12, 2014

his is the humidifier controller which i bought from ebay, the idea was to link this to the exhaust fan to maintain the humility of the room automatically without running the exhaust fan 24/7 .
