very well planned tank! Can understand why you gave up your FW tank.

Looking forward to updates!

Bro,
Does your overflow box re-activates if the water level drops below the overflow and rises back up again ? Just curious.

yes, the siphon stays even if pump failure.. so i off pump, on pump the siphon and flow will continue.

Update:

new corals addition.. corals and fishes are doing very well.. been doing Microbe-lift Nite-out II daily and also Red Sea Reef Energy A & B (2.5ml daily). probably will give grotech line a try after my red sea finishes.

Some corals pics :

pink tip elegance.

zoas

green Brain coral.. this particular piece had become everyone's favorite coral with its bright luminous color! getting a red one soon!

New addition added just one hour after placing in tank.. Yellow Lobo.. adds a spark of yellow to my tank!

GSP glued to overflow box.. hopefully will spread fast and cover the whole box!

Got this birdnest from a kind reefer when i bought his elegance, he fragged most part away so trying my luck with the remaining ones. doing pretty well with nice PE.. hopefully its color will retain..

top view

Livestock!

Banggai Cardinal..

my mandarin from my old 34L.. much more pods for him!

Got 2 of this lovely tuxedo urchins! superb at eating brown algae (which is currently blooming in my tank) however its been attaching to some of my zoas frag and carrying them around..

My sump tank.. Deltec MCE 600 (great skimmer) on the left, eheim 1260, Rio pump (chiller and 2 TLF 150 reactor feeder pump). Currently only running rowaphos.. will be running biopellets once more livestocks go in.. chaeto in a breeder's net but im thinking of DIY-ing a partition using eggcrates.

FTS. added a SunSun 3000l/hr wavemaker blowing at the back.. thinking of changing to 5000l/hr model instead.. still waiting for my universal laptop adapter to come so i can run W1 or ELSE mode on my wp40 at lower flow..

angle view

Light is currently 10" above water level.. running 9 hours but mainly the blues and some white. rest of the whites only comes on for 2 hours a day now.. worried my corals may bleach.

simply switch on feed mode on my wp40 and enjoy the top view..

Thanks for viewing!
