Congrats Sahin on the new addition to the family and new tank. That's one sleek looking system. I'm running a smaller Deltec now and like it a lot. Took a little bit of time to get it dialed in but now working great. DC pump doesn't seem to use a lot of power at all since I have it hooked up to an EB8 and it barely shows any wattage.

Awesome build so far. Do you have a complete fish list planned out yet?

However, if I had time and more funds I would have went with a Ghost overflow. My ideal overflow would be CTC; no question about it. The main drawback with Oceanlife is the limit to the amount of water they can sustain. My Ecotech Vectra M1 can only be run at 45% maximum. I would have preferred to have a bit more. I would therefore go with the Ghost or CTC and get herbie type plumbing for the ultimate speed and quietness. There was noise in the sump. I had to play a round down there to quiet things up. Hope that helps you choose either ghost or CTC; it's what I would like. Quote:
The smaller Deltec IMO has a better air/water ratio in the body of the skimmer. Mine is alright and skims great but could do with a bit more air. Quote:
1. Regal Angel 2. Convict Tang 3. Flame Wrasse Pair 4. Orchid dottyback 5. Red Firefish 6. Longnose Hawkfish 7. Pair of Fairy Wrasse 8. Single Blue/Green Chromis - only because they are always out and good eaters; mine finishes off all bits of food in the water column. Thats all I can think of so far. I may add some other small fish but the aim is to keep the bioload low-med. Tank is doing well. SPS are encrusting nicely. On many pieces the new growth shows colour so all good signs. |

Hello Sahin, congratulations for the new baby. Your new scape is very beautiful. In your last tank, I thing that you were "fan" of high bioload ,combined with strong filtration and you were having fantastic results. Why did you decide to a lower bioload for this set up? Also what didn't you like at MH and you returned to T5?

With regards to the lighting, I'd take 2x400w Radiums with LED/T5 as supplement over the tank any day; the shimmer is excellent and ability to colour up corals is just as good as T5. However, I cannot deal with the costs associated with the running of those lights and cooling the tank. So its essentially circumstances dictating things rather than a change in preference. |

I really like the branch scape and the openness it allows for growth. As my old music teacher said to me, it's the silence surrounding the notes that makes the music. Nicely done keep on growing!
