  1. found their website and enquired about it.. the price is definitely over my budget.. seems like skimz is the cheapest one. Thanks anyway!
  2. Thanks, how many Watts are ur Par38s?
  3. thanks bro, tunze out of budget liao.. where to get this iaquatic overflow box?
  4. Currently considering a Skimz or Reef octopus overflow box. Worried i may DIY wrongly and flooding may occur.. Considering using a 2ft 4 tube T5HO housing and use the space in the 2 middle tubes to DIY a LED light set. meaning 2 Tubes t5 + LED... wondering if this is better than using just LEDs..
  5. Any idea what kind of overflow boxes are available other than the Skimz kind? only seems to see skimz being used in singapore..
  6. woah lovely! love your zoas and yumas!
  7. Marine life no stock for yasha goby + pistol pair.. Anyone see any in LFS please let me know!
  8. How's ur evaporation rate? Currently my 34l tank. I have to top up at least 1l a day.. Making me want to get a chiller liao.
  9. I've tested my tap water before to be tds value of 60ppm, 5ppm of nitrate and 0ppm phosphate. I using api test kit so it may not even been accurate though.
  10. That's great to hear. Do u use diy overflow? Have u tried testing the event in pump failure can yr sump hold the water?
  11. Yes middle part got support. This my cabinet currently carries the weight of 4x2x2 freshwater tank + heavy overhead filter and 2x 30L tank. Been holding for months already.. It's not those open cabinet meant for sump. There's middle compartment and there's middle leg support too. Definitely safe. --------------------------- Anyway I have been googling about DIY pvc overflow and it seems rather simple and easy. My current plan is to use this overflow, flow to my 31x31x36cm tank with no compartment, return pump 1200l/hr connect to chiller, den chiller return back to tank. The sump will hold a nac 3.5,maybe got space can even run a FR. I'm wondering if the skimmer will work with 15 to 20cm water height? I need to make sure in the event the pump fails, the sump tank is able to hold the overflowing water from the 2ft.so only going to fill up half the sump tank.
  12. Though of that before. But worried the middle glass may not be able to take it. Rather not take the risk..
  13. Hey fellas, i have been planning of a new upgraded tank and hope to hear some advices.. Once again, very budget set up. so most of the stuff either going for cheaper kind or 2nd hand stuff. Tank size : 1) 2x2x1,5 with 6" IOS at the back. (8 or 10mm?) 2) 2x2x1.5 bare tank.(10mm) Use canister filter Link to chiller and back to tank. Canister will be empty with just a bag of rowahpos, purigen or XL biopellets to prevent it becoming a nitrate factory. Skimmer : If going for option 1 tank size, will be using BM Nac3.5. If going for option 2, will be using either BM E3 or Q3. Chilling : 1/10 HP chiller. wavemaker : 2 x sunsun 3000l/hr wave maker. (is this enough?) Lighting : 1) 2 units of 18x3W par38 light set. 2) 3 units of 12x3W par38 light set. This are my equipments plan as of now.. im leaning more towards option 2 tank size mainly because it gives me more space (15cm more width!), tank is cheaper to build and i find it hard to clean IOS. Sump is not really possible because im planning to put this 2ft on my 4x2x2ft freshwater tank's cabinet.. so i can have another exact tank size for my freshwater set up (2 2x2x1.5ft tank on a 422 cabinet). Sump could be possible if i DIY a overflow PVC pipe, flow down to my exisiting 1ft cube tank, return pump to chiller, than back to tank. Will this be better? I don't really fancy many equipments so i hope that the return pump can just pump through the chiller and back to the tank. What do you guys think?
  14. any sightings of Yasha goby + pistol shrimp pair that is not in farms? any LFS selling?
  15. any updates? i wonder how this salt fare up against the Red Sea Coral Pro salt or H2Ocean.
  16. Interested. Please whatsapp me at 91063934 I've zoa frag can trade with u.
  17. Thanks bro, just ordered some 45 and 60 degree lenses and will play around when it arrives.
  18. Can check out my thread under equipment.. i did post a link to the ebay seller. Seller told me the leds are 140 degrees.. Anyway i switched to all 3 90 degree and it certainly looks better! meanwhile i've ordered a new light set with 9 x 3 watts (2 Neutral White 5000k, 5 RB (455 - 460nm) and 2 True Violet) Will update when it arrives!
