mixed_reefer - Thanks a lot
underWoasisjake - Thanks again. It is my pleasure to share my tank with other hobbyist. The skimmer is doing a pretty good job for my tank.
polarbearsd - Thanks! I don't think I will be able to figure out how much I invested into the livestock. As for the equipment, the skimmer is the most expensive equipment in my system. Also, most of the equipment were transferred from my previous 90g tank. The electric bill of my house comes to approxiamately $160 a month. I guess around $70 of electricity is used to run my system.
AcroSteve - I use the Ehiem auto feeder, which is set to feed my fish 4 times a day. The auto feeder is placed next the to the right SeaSwirl. As the food drop, the sea swirl will bring part of the food down. The fish will try to grab any food floating on the water surface. And the food will float in a counter-clockwise motion. When the food move near the overflow box, the wavebox located in front of the internal overflow box will move and bring down a large portion of the leftover food. The rest of the food on the water surface will go around the overflow box and move back to the left sea swirl, and the fish will finish the leftover food.
This is a picture to show how the fish grabbed the food when the timer was on.
sivert55 - Thanks! I use a small amount of epoxy with super glue on both sides, one side attaches onto the coral, while the other side attaches to the live rock.
T Man - Thanks!
Little_Widefx - Thanks, I am glad that you liked it.
SCIFI_3D_zoo - As mentioned in the article, I glued the corals with epoxy to the live rocks. I did not glue the live rocks together. There are few large pieces of the live rocks at the bottom, and they are held firmly on the PVC docking stations to support the smaller-sized live rocks on top.
MO Will - Thanks! In order to siphon out the detritus at the front, all I do is open the top of the frame mount and use a hand operated siphon pump. The process usually takes me around 5 minutes.
