Journal of my TVR experience

With bro Nazari's TVR coming in, I've converted my toyogo sump into a 2.5ft tub due to space and budget constraints. Comments are welcome on how to improve the setup as it's mainly D-I-Y. Water depth for the tvr tub is about 6.5 inches.

I've to make do with what I can find in my house, from old basket to unused pipes.

bro kenneth, that is to say now you dont have the extra water(previous sump tank) since you used it for yr TVR rite? so you have to wc more in the future?

Just another angle.

Erm the tvr tub will still serve the purpose of a sump but I added a bag of coral chips and more filter wool into the basket to buffer and make the water cleaner.

Basically is 1 pump 2 usage. Yes I will have to WC like mad. Hope I don't end up being a slave.

Bro nice setup.

Just curious, you sharing the water of SVRs with yr TVRs right? Some bros said not recommended to mixed these together due to the weaker immunity system for the TVRs.

Nice work Kenneth, Can you add an additional water container to drip water to the TVR tub? Make an improvised Skimmer in the tub too....i think that will make the whole set up more complete. Just an idea to share. Cheers

Nice conversion bro!!

Just to add on to bro Nazari. Seeing the setup is in the balcony, there should be a drainage nearby eh? can make use of it to do a drip system
