And the thing was broken during shipping:

But the package inside was sealed so no damage to the salt itself. Talked to amazon and they refunded 20% so win win

The lid is probably the worst one. No one does lid better than Salinity and I missed my Salinity bucket while "struggling" to open this one.

But there were nice stuffs inside:

Should have purchased their reef salt instead of probiotic reef salt (half the price and even their guideline suggests to use regular reef salt for none-SPS dominant tanks) but well, I am not expecting any harm.

I didn't open the salt yet since I am not when I will be able to start the tank but I can feel that there is a measuring cup inside

And the things that are on its way:

1. The tank (almost ready)
2. Skimmer: aquamaxx ws-1 is on its way
3. Kessil: a160we + goose neck + controller on its way
4. Return pump: ehime compact 1000; haven't picked it up yet
5. Live rock: getting Walt Smith ocean cured rock from Tim
6. RODI unit: this one is kinda ****ing me off; was suppose to be shipped on 11th Dec but now the date has changed to 28th Dec; hopefully there won't be any further delay.

Any experience with those power heads previously?
I was actually looking at just that exact model to upgrade to one day.
Let me know how it goes when your tank is all set up

I have had experience with jebao's previous powerheads but not this one. I will keep this thread updated with its performance

Well I finally got the tank

and its so puny that I shall call it the "punyquarium"

I am yet to get the skimmer, the live rocks and the RODI unit. Will start building a wood frame tomorrow. Nothing fancy, just plain frame and will cover it with carbon fiber 3M (to match with the black silicon of the tank). Here are some pictures:
