Hey Peacemaker, whats the secret to making your mushrooms grow fast? Do you dose any additives? Iodine? What lighting are you using as well? Your corals seem to be thriving.

Fan in action!! :evil: Quite satisfied as the noise is under tolerance level now.

Used PVC tape to secure the joints.

Time to join the wires together.

This is the pic of the noisy fan that I bought. I cut off the connector for this, to be joined to the PC fan.

Cut off the connector at the end. Its the connector to connect to the motherboard.

Think I'll just show what I did just now. Took out my PC fan.

Very innovative, but how did you maintain the fan tilt? Is the wooden piece supporting the fan all the way?

I won't give up. I'll be prototyping a new fan. Pics up soon.

Hai really sad why everything I buy always wrong. First wrong choice of skimmer pump, now wrong fan. Thanks for the info that the fan is noisy. I thought I got a defective one again.

The holders really cannot make it. Anyway I prefer the fan to be blowing directly face down on the surface. So DIY a couple of holders using plastic brackets. BUT THE FAN IS NOISY. How come all my fans are noisy. :angry:

Seems funny, but talking about cooling fans, I bought one today at Pasir Ris farm. The brand is Jebo and it cost $12. Felt kinda angry as the fan doesn't totally resemble the pic on the box, and its just like a PC fan connected to a transformer.

Hi gouldian, I do agree with you that the best combination for Weipro 2011 is the Atman 104 pump. Wanted to get that but out of stock. Anyway the Atman 104 produces alot of heat. Before I switched to the Atman 304, my temp was 30 to 31'C. Now its 28'C without fan. I read that Atman 104 is 1800l/hr, and the Atman 304 is 1200l/hr. My skimmer is skimming only after I feed, so I think its still acceptable considering that I only have corals and a couple of fish.

I knew someone would comment on that. :paiseh:

The end part of the tube. Nothing much to explain really.

After hooking up the tube, I filled up the 5 litre container.

Hooked up a DIY topup system yesterday. First, testing out the selected location. So fortunate that my wardrobe is just next to the tank.

No, this is a pure BB tank. Yeah I know it looks ugly and unnatural but I think the pros outweigh the cons. Here's some points why I choose BB than sandbed. 1. No hassle of washing the sand before putting into the tank 2. Don't have to worry about cyano algae 3. No dirty sandbed 4. No sandstorms 5. Diatoms can be kept under control I've tried sandbed before, and after trying BB, I never want to go back to using substrate again.

Nice tank you have there! Seems like your issue with zoos were a thing of the past. Keep it up, and fill those empty spaces with more corals. Btw, can let me know when you gonna frag your blue mushies?

Let me know ok? Don't have to be really nice ones. But not the common brown ones either. Would appreciate if you could frag some of each mushroom, of cos will pay you for it.

Yes, I'm experiencing about 1L of evaporation a day. Keeping my tank around 26-27'C with lights on currently. The tank temp can plummet from 28'C to 25'C in less than an hour, have to always switch the fan on and off manually. I think the low temp is due to me having to run only my seio and skimmer pump. Thanks peacemaker on the info that you've provided.

Ok thanks. Problem is I don't seem to find them selling it anymore. Maybe I never open my eyes again. I recall once dropping the whole fan into the tank while it was running. That was more than a year ago but it still works fine. Kenna electrocuted before a couple of times. So temporary just use this first, looking for a new one. I always thought it was supposed to be this noisy. May I know whats the lowest temp it can bring your tank down until?

Ok I will try putting some lubricant. Thanks for the info, been asking around but no one seems to be using profantec fans. May I know how much you bought them for? Can PM me if inconvenient.

what a beauty! I wonder what lights he is using. Peacemaker, you got any mushroom frags that you want to let go? Hehe.

Full tank shot.
