Speed up documentary part since my initial cycle almost half way done.....
Tank tap water test dry
reach overflow level
water fall into sump... (this US made hydrovalve cost a lot, but I like it since it can adjust in a very small amount of water volume)
water to refugium :em16::em16::em16:
Taiwan special way for chiller... We put titanium tube in sump and air condition machine at porch (guarantee noise free)
failure free double temputure probes to control air condition machine
Holes for Tunze cable

I love 3D printing, but these are made by my friend. I definitely will buy one in 2015 :inlove::inlove::inlove:
Hope the detail won't let reefers feel boring, but I like to keep thing organized and documented....
Thank you. Hope you like this one more ;-)
Sorry to confuse you. It is not DIY, but use regular home air condition machine (see pic below) to do the work. We put machine outside, and connect to tank with copper pipe in wall, and then connect to titanium pipe to tank with power and control lines.

Looking very good Shih
Lovely clean design and such great ideas
You should have asked me for my electric winch since I no longer require it
Anyways, keep up the great work!!

Everything looks to be going really well mate, that beast of a skimmer will do the job :beer:
Using the aircon to do the cooling that way is a great idea, haven't seen that before. The day 11 snail looks kinda cool with the fuzzy green hair lol. Looking forward to following your journal my friend
Nice to see you posting again Andrew

Love the chiller and love the little pin holes you put in the epoxy to make it look like live rock.
Keep the details coming, Shih, not boring at all.
I think I learn using steel brush and pin hole on epoxy from Youtube, but can't find the link ;-(

For some reason, most Taiwan reefers use airmen...but honestly, like you, I never know that when I was in California.:headwallblue:

Everything you have done is of high quality and I have no doubt the rest of the build will be of the same quality! I'm really looking forward to watching your progress
Wow you have some really nice pieces there and that's good your LFS is taking such good care of them for you!

Thanks. Yes, my LFS take my SPS and fish well, but he keep remind me that he need space for new corals....:sad2:.... Maybe I should buy some thing from him to cool him down.... Hahaha
I keep my water parameter very close to LFS. That actually help when I get SPS from him and help this time that put SPS back to his tank.
Not really. It is just woods. It is very easy to take off and put on. it just hook on stand with the design in picture below....
Thanks. I may get my SPS back slowly this time. At least not the first four weeks (today is day 13)...
