  1. stay in the east. No problem to travel a bit far, one time off only.
  2. Anyone got any for sale? If not where can I buy?
  3. so pity those beautiful fish cannot put in reef. Don't tell me I endup setup a FOWLR for angel and butterfly lol. My wife going to kill me for that.
  4. PAR means Photosynthetically Active Radiation, means the amount of radiation that is useful for the coral. The bigger the amount the better. Faster coral growth.
  5. depends on the chiller lor.
  6. those normal plumber will be able to do it for you.
  7. Starter battery or called cranking battery aka car batteries, those you found use in automobiles used for starting the engine. They are design to give a high current for a short duration, eg to start the car engine. Should not drain more than 30% of the capacity and need to charge them back immediately. The plates used in these batteries have thin lead coatings and big surface area for high surge current. The problem with them is due to the thin lead, they tends to drop off and then the battery lose capacity. That is why if you forget to turn off the car headlights and the battery get drain off too much, you need to change the battery already because the lead plate are already damanged. Deep cycle batteries have much thicken lead plates but smaller surface area and can be drain down to as low as 10% of the rated capacity and then charge back to full capacity, they works great as long within the life cycle of the battery. They are not so suitable for cranking cos their surge current is not as high as the cranking batteries. You can buy the Trojan deep cycle batteries from YHI. One 115Ah (25kg) cost me $150. You need a proper charge to charge them, don't use those car battery chargers, you'll kill them by overheating them.
  8. problem with those starter battery, cycle one time and the batter kapu liao. Need deep cycle ones. Anyway price not much difference cost a bit more only.
  9. south pole better cos got penguin and no polar bear. Later global warming all the pole ice melt then no more place at north pole for you but south pole got land ma.
  10. modify the fridge to add glass door. Then can see the pengiun and those ducks swimming around.
  11. Whata great idea! End up need to use heater to keep the temp up. Or you keeping pengiun? Like Jurong bird park heheh.
  12. might as well keep the chiller in the fridge
  13. doesn't petmart provide delivery service too? I cannot imagine lugging 150kg of grade #0 sand home ~!@#$%^&*() The other day lug 30kg I already cursing already. How did you guys do it?
  14. Sounds like way too $$$ but if you ever experience a blackout and then get a massive dieoff worst right? If I do get a power backup, it will be for powering a ph for internal circulation only. Like that 230Ah can last for quite long time. No need to use CAI, at most add a fan to draw in cold air into your cabinet can already. Or youl like those shinny aluminium pipe???
  15. becareful with non true sine wave invertors, I killed one SICCE ph many yrs ago. Now you give me some good idea for power back up during blackout. I've two 110Ah deep cycle batteries sitting around. I need to go find a true sine wave invertor then I'm safe when it blackout already The batteries cost abt $150 each but the true sine wave invertors are going to cost quite a bit.
  16. Yes yes going to ML to grab all the salifert ones. dkh NO3 CA PO4 What else? pH I've a sensor to measure. NH3 got ammonia alert.
  17. Dupla also got 2 series of pH controller. I dare not check on the price because it will cost more than the Dennerle. I think the Taiwan Azoo one also around $300+ What's your budget? I think min also need around $500 for the German made pH controller.
  18. My heart is with you. I lost my cat who was with me for 17yrs. She had kidney failure and diabetes and we had to put her down because her skin was rotting and my mom did not want to see her suffer anymore. I still missed her a lot. Better not keep anymore pet cos when you loose them you feel so sad especially when they grew up with you. Don't feel too bad about it if it wasn't intentional.
  19. Go for it, cos I am doing it and really no regrets. The Sims drive shop selling the fixture around $150 and includes BLV 10K bulb
  20. Dennerle?? Made in German, this thing will run you close to $500. I had one and using it for 3 yrs already but for my freshwater tank. Probe still running fine, this one has no temperature compenstation.
  21. checked last night and kh dropped to 8dkh. Sat I measured was 10dkh. Can drop so fast?? Or maybe the sera test kit problem.
  22. What is pH buffer actually? Like the seachem reef buffer?
  23. I think if use higher power MH the fan might not be able to cool down properly.
