New Tank Setup

All that hard work paid off. Looks awesome, Chen.

Would definitely look nice with a malay driftwood centre piece.

Yeah...been looking for that and just happen to see it at BA...some new supplier....so had to get it....

I've only got one of my 2 Reeflo inline pumps going right now as the other is left off until my replacement arrives. It was that pump that was heating up my tank as since I've turn it off the temp is at 79-80 without a heater so I'm happy with that...there will be some temp being heated from the inline and also both tank and Sump is fully enclosed so it does keep it insulated with the 1" thick acrylic....

Getting real close to putting the rest of the boys and girls in..target date is Saturday morning....

Yeah...will give that a try...just don't like wood sometimes with the growth of fungas on them...but told they eventually go away...going to try one first and then see how it goes.

Maybe you need a nice, rare pleco in there to take care of that... perhaps an albino acanthicus adonis, of which I happen to have a few :D

I'll try for better pics later on...using my P&S Canon for the last time as wife is taking that on her trip so I'll be back onto my DSLR
 
Had Tenecor make up "silencers" for my overflow and just got them...place them into the overflow and WOW...it goes from a waterfall sound level to an underwater pump...almost like a jet engineer to a hybrid...here are some pics...what the silencer does is elevates the output into the sump to approx. 28" above the bottom of the tank...meaning instead of the water splashing down almost 28" to the bottom of the overflow, it only drops an inch!...
