Nice, so let me make sense of all of this. You have the bakki plate below the refugum which sits on egg crate. Looks like you have added more glass baffles to your sump and increased the water level. Correct ?

Just added a divider made from report cover spines from office works and Plastic Mesh 7 Count Canvas Sheet from spotlight and a 3D printed black comb to keep the macro algae in one area of the sump, because were the protein skimmer sits it’s just one large open area

I think I am gonna have to get me a 3D printer.What sort of 3D printer would you recommend ?


Yes its amazing what you can utilise from chain stores in the Aquarium. Office Works, Spotlight, Bunnings, Ikea and Daiso have all yielded things for my hobby.

Also I see you sump is the after Market Aqua One glass sump Multi divider, now I understand. All good.

Awesome setup you have going there mick.
How are you finding the Bacteria House Bio Block?
I purchased 2 of these for my tank i am setting up. Would be good to get feed back from others.

Yeah seems to be good at the moment, it does float for a bit when you first put in, but it did sink to bottom of sump after 24h or so

My DIY Light Shade/Reflector using some 3d printing, Aluminium Foil Tape, plastic panel from the bottom of 2 reusable bags and 2 report spine holders

What is the light ?

[mick777]

Aqua one Extendable Mini Touch LED, it has red blue and white leds. probably not the best light but I already had it and it fits great,

Was meant to post this about a week ago.

added 4 turbo snails to help with algae



and a few corals 






attached this purple star to a removable rock, just in case I need to keep its size down


and this i got for free as they said it had not opened, so I thought lets see if i can make it happy

Also Got a Baby Bubble tip anemone (about 2cm in size)


also some clown fish and another coral
