    DIY Moonlight

    Cool. How many LEDs did u used? I tried mine last nite (halfway through) and what I did is I target my LED to shine down at some of my corals. Look pretty cool but there will be some area that will not get the light. Cheers JC
  2. Dun mind me commenting. Ur air tube is drilled on the base of the holder? IF so, u might have a problem with the residue from ur kalk solution. Normally, we will let the Kalk mix settle for a while b4 start dripping to avoild getting the residue into the main tank. Maybe u can drill a hole like 3" above the base on the side instead. Juz my 2 cent. JC
  3. is this the one shown in IT Show 2004? Look complicated and cool!
  4. I'm sure you have read those pin thread, kindly pls do so as the basic in starting are all there. A gd book in the library will also be benefically. My opinion only on your questions. 1) How big a tank should I get? I'll go for 4ft. Minium 3ft. Personally think that more width is better than longer tank. If I'm to start my tank now, I'll go 4(lenght) x 2.5 (width) x 2.5(height). 2) Should I go fish-only first to 'break-in' the tank before going corals? Its gd idea to start wif FOWLR for at least 1st 6 months. During that period, you will realise that there are still many things to learn. At the meantime, start reading about corals keeping skills. 3) How important is lightings? FOWLR lights requirement is low. If u intend to keep coral or even SPS in future, invest in a gd lights like MH or T5. 4) How much money do I have to spend on a decent setup? Difficult to answer this, it all depends on ur setup and equipment. Hope this helps abit JC
  5. Wat is the min and max for dKH if you dun mind me asking?

    DIY Moonlight

    Can share ur tank pic with the Ultra Blue LED on? Need some inspiration now. hehe ryz, I will have to ensure that I got mine right 1st b4 even considering helping other reefers. Will keep you update on my process. IF you use white LED, wun it affect ur corals and fishes since moonlight are normally bluish? ben, I have been reading up on a few of the amercian forum and conclusion is that moonlight's spectrum are between 470nm and 480nm. However, when I go down to sim lim tower, many of the shops are not able to tell me the actual spectrum of the LEDS. In the end, bought the Ultra Blue LED at $1.50 for a pair. Cheers JC

    DIY Moonlight

    Hi Guys, I'm going to start on a project to diy moonlight for my tank. Will like to encourage fellow reefers to post their diy moonlight and its results. Need some inspiration before I start. I'll be using Ultra Blue LEDs and did a dry run on my tank and realised that the blue leds will create some rays of blue ligths that is aestactically beautiful. Cheers JC
  13. Was doing some housekeeping on my IE Fav and clicked on the PetShopBoys. Surprisingly, they are looking for buyer to take over their business for $60K. Is this a sign that Reefing is going downhill? Comments?
  14. Sorri. It should be counterstrike instead.
  15. Hi Guys, I finally owned a xbox (got it in IT show). Has been playing with my bro-in-laws. One of the game that I have is Thunder strike and din really enjoyed it (maybe too much Halo liao). Anyone interested in exchange of my thunderstrike for some games u have completed? Can pm or post here. Cheers JC
  16. Do u mean LCK have flame angel or Monti cap? Was there last weekend but was told there wasn't any more monti cap.
  17. I use to have a pixy hawkfish that ate a 1.5" crab. Do note that hawkfish can be aggressive towards ur horses too,
  18. http://novita.com.sg/Distiller.htm Is this the model? RO or DI?extract from the webbie "How Does Novita Water Distiller Work? The convenient Water Distiller provides high quality water using the oldest most effective method of water treatment. When your Water Distiller is turned on, the water temperature rises and the light volatile gases boil off and are discharged through a vent in the condensing coil. The water is then heated to high enough temperature (100?) to kill bacteria, viruses, or other living organisms that may be present. As the boiling water is converted into steam, it leaves behind all chemicals, salts, and other contaminants. The steam vapor rises through a condensing coil, cooling the steam, turning it into distilled water. The distilled water then flows through a final "polishing" carbon filter to eliminate any traces of taste or odor. Clean drinking water is then collected."
  19. Juz to share, you can use Vpost USA shipping to reduce cost in frieght. Amazon will ship to a VPOST location free then VPOst will ship to you based on their charges (normally cheaper). Check out the details here, http://www.vpost.com.sg/ Juz to share my experience. JC
  20. You should still cycle as you might still have some dieoff due to transportation and handling. Maybe ur cycle period will be shorter. If I'm you, I'll cycle for a wk then test the water parameter to confirm. Cheers JC
  21. Look for Edmund from EAN (sponsor).
  22. Great picture. Will love to see it in person again sometime. Cheers JC
