thanks for sharing even though the experiences weren’t all rosy bro. it takes courage to show the side of this hobby nobody tends to share out of fear of judgment. we all make mistakes along the way. what is important is that we learn from them and come out of it even wiser and with improved aquarium-keeping Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hi, I will like to get some ideas from fellow experienced reefers about ways to mount the Radion light that i purchased recently for my fish tank. My fish tank is 4 feet with reinforced glass as seen in the picture below, so the length is not quite enough for the mount to be mounted securely on the glass and i do not want to drill my ceiling to hang the light. Therefore, i have made a small DIY aryclic rack to support the weight of the light so for past two weeks it is working fine so far. However, it sure is very ugly and it is a eyesore to look at. I am thinking of waiting after the CB period to have a small aryclic rack custom made as the one i do it myself is quite sloppy with limited tools on hand. This is the best solution i could think of now but if there are better ideas from fellow reefers to boost the aesthetic as well as able to hold the light securely it will be wonderful!

Since installing the Ecotech Versa peristaltic pump last month, it was possible to better control the dosing rate & time to dose. And hence gave me the motivation to improve the kalk stirrer. Decided to re-do the stirrer box with better water proofing & cable management. The drawing here shows the feature to hold the speed controller PCB in place. Using a good quality PC fan (uses ball bearings). A PWM speed controller. And a couple of magnets. The top & bottom halves were printed with ABS material. Total time about 32 hours (top & bottom) halves. View of the kalk set up. Programmed to dose 2L from 12am to 12pm. And 200cc from 12pm to 12am. In this way, the bulk of the kalk is added during night time where pH is lowest.

Cheap DIY frag rack: Material u need: 1) $2 test tube holder. (Ali Express) 2) $10 Aquarium cleaning magnet, rem to get correct size and strength meant for ur glass thickness. (Shopee) 3) $2 coral glue gel tube. (Any lfs or general store) Its so simple, just assemble the test tube rack and glue them to the magnet. Inexpensive frag rack that only cost less than $15 and can house frag plugs of 14-16 plugs depending on how U place them. Thanks everyone taking time out to read my thread. Stay home and safe!!

This is a simple adapter for the Skimz calcium reactor. #supportlocal I found that topping up the calcium reactor to be quite a trouble some process. Often getting bits of rocks around the O-ring, leading to improper seal & leaks. A funnel is ideal but its hard to find one that fits the 40mm fill hole size. Hence i printed this adapter for this wide mouth funnel (common used for pickling jars).
