After much convincing from Facebook friends all around the world.

Starting my own thread to document my reefventure!

Anyway hello from Sunny Singapore.

I belong to the 80% of Singaporeans who paid about USD200K for a 4room apartment staying in flatted living spaces.

My only space for a tank was on my kitchen counter top.

I got a IM 10G tank at first but the real estate was simply too small to add any goodies or create a nice rockwork. Furthermore i have to constantly deal with water parameters fluctuations and my main objective is to satisfy my itchy hands with SPS;Cat

Got to the drawing board to customize my own tank to fit to the exact measurements of half of my kitchen top. I do not have the luxury of building a cabinet+sump as it will ruin the design of my interior design of my flat, thus going with an IOS/AIO setup.
