Okii.. Yesturday i have made few changes.. due to lack of space for heat distribution my peltech chiller wont work properly . so i have change the chiller placement and added 10mm insulation tubes to cover water return from chiller to sump.no2 readings are around 1 on salifert testkit. ammonia 0. i got five green chomis and two died on arrival ,i know its bit early to put  any fish, but its really hard to find chormis in srilanka. so remaining three seems doing fine. and i have added Aquaforest Zeomix 100g on my sump chamber. will see how it goes, if i got 0 no2 readings i have to start dosing pro bio s and -np pro.

Maybe it's just me, but it looks like your table may be struggling with the weight.

Yeah, there were some small bend when i made this stand. this is from the pice of wood it self  and not because of the weight of the tank. i have all-ready installed 

regiform sheet below the tank to absorbe that shape
