  1. Artical 1/2hp 21"x14"x15". Better to buy the chiller then let the contractor see and they measure/fabricate accordingly.
  2. Print out the photo of the dunso from http://www.dursostandpipes.com/ then bring to the hardware shop and they will give you the necessary parts. But you need to tell them the correct size. Bro Diablos, where do you stay?
  3. Mins, that's why I mentioned light of sufficient intensity. Which LFS is that?
  4. Water quality is more important than light intensity. As long as light is of sufficient intensity then the sps will color up provided the water quality is there. That's also the reason why you got reefers getting brown SPS while got reefers getting colorful SPS despite all of them running the same light.
  5. He just changed to fresh new rowa last night so it is possible that the PO4 is really undetectable in this tank water. Simon, maybe you try use salifert PO4 test kit to measure again see got color or not. Hair algae is taking nutrients from your LR so it'll take sometime to die off, as long as you keep your PO4 undetectable then you're heading the right direction.
  6. quoted from http://www.petsforum.com/personal/trevor-j.../marineich.html You may like to start a poll on how long cleaner wrasser can survive in our tank? Very low survival rates and success stories are the exceptional case rather than the norm, if needed buy more cleaner shrimps.
  7. Cleaner wrasses are not known to eat ich. Also most of them don't survive in our tank, better to leave them in the ocean.
  8. Actually the cost already posted in SRC before. Hanna PO4 meter per test 40c and the meter cost about $350. Got reefers see this price complain very $$ and yet still have people looking for probe type PO4 meter using ISE, that one is 4 figure for the electrode alone
  9. Did you work out the cost for salifert PO4 test kit? 40cents per test is normal Actually in the long run the PO4 meter will pay off by itself as it gives more accurate results.
  10. Now I see you're referring to the skimmer. Recommended for the sump water level or the elblow at outlet tube/gatevalve to be lower than 50% of the main body of the skimmer if not the skimmate might get too wet and also unstable skimming.
  11. MD55 must be out-of-sump. No need to elevate above sump level.
  12. Aiya these type of stuffs better to get your own instead of borrowing, I need to use it on a frequent basis, don't tell me you want to be running between our place or made me run here and there. End up the petrol incurred can buy a new hanna PO4 meter already. Somemore 1 test cost 40cents which is not cheap too. xpert1974, we can tok about the zeovit in the SPS section.
  13. Those stuffs I using one how to T-loan you? Like my chiller, skimmer, lights, test-kit etc.
  14. Bo pian, I can't post without trying it out first right? No experience how to talk? End up talk like "internet reefer" cos everything requoted from what they read from internet but actual experience is close to zero. All these methods can be useful to you or can kill you so you really need to know what's going on. Even the volka which is similar to the sugar method tells you to slowly up the dose and at the same time monitor the nutrients levels and when they start to drop reduce the dosage by 50% and so on. But then I still see from SRC got pple not advising the correct way to dose it and then after sometime I see that they feedback abt negative experience with whatever they are trying to do.
  15. That is caused by overdose and not knowing the proper way to dose, you should dose in very small amount and slowly increasing it while measuring for reduction in nutrients level, when nutrients level starts to drop then you must reduce the dosage already. You did not do that and hence up stressed all your lifestock. Cheap methods can be effective but provided you dose carefully and correctly. The very same thing happening to some ex-zeovit users, they dose and dose and without knowing what is going on they encountered overdose and that cause big problem yet zeovit gets the blame.
  16. Not really interference because we are not talking about pure water so you don't expect 7.0 However that being said you will have problem measuring pure water as the conductivity is very low.
  17. If you had got a CR then you wouldn't need to pour in 10L kalkwasser at one go and the 2nd crash won't occurred. It is no problem to make mistakes, everyone does that. Important thing is to learn from there.
  18. Do you think if you have to do it again you would spend the extra money to get the proper equipment before going into SPS? I think right now all the money lost in the SPS is enough to buy proper equipments for your SPS.
  19. 1 KWH = 1 kilowatt-hour Assuming your MH draws 1 amps so we get 1Amps * 240V = 240W = 0.24kW If this runs for 1 hr then we get 0.24kwh So for one month (assuming 30days in a month) we get 0.24*24*30 = 172.8kwh
  20. You should be looking for full size colony to fill up those "mountains". Whole mountain full of frags actually quite boring looking unless you're prepared to wait for 2-3yrs for them to grow to full size colony
  21. By standard of blue tang, this is considered skinny Take your time to pump them up fat fat
  22. If can only use 1 word to describe then its chio. But use 3 words to describe better, it's si buay chio
