  1. where to see the pricing online? haha
  2. skimz more expensive? is skimz and bubble magus seamless? do you mind ranking the pumps?
  3. no idea, looking at external cone skimmer for 4 or 5 ft, which one you recommend?
  4. Where to get CREE Par38 dimmable light locally?
  5. May I know which brand is better for a cone skimmer?
  6. Interesting. Laminar flow, sometimes known as streamline flow, occurs when a fluid flows in parallel layers, with no disruption between the layers. At low velocities the fluid tends to flow without lateral mixing, and adjacent layers slide past one another like playing cards. There are no cross currents perpendicular to the direction of flow, nor eddies or swirls of fluids. In laminar flow the motion of the particles of fluid is very orderly with all particles moving in straight lines parallel to the pipe walls. In fluid dynamics , laminar flow is a flow regime characterized by high momentum diffusion and low momentum convection . When a fluid is flowing through a closed channel such as a pipe or between two flat plates, either of two types of flow may occur depending on the velocity of the fluid: laminar flow or turbulent flow . Laminar flow is the opposite of turbulent flow which occurs at higher velocities where eddies or small packets of fluid particles form leading to lateral mixing. In nonscientific terms laminar flow is "smooth", while turbulent flow is "rough." - extracted from wikipedia
  7. Interested to know too. You technically need dynamite to get them out
  8. Fresh mix is preferred to aerate for 24 to 48 hours to introduce co2 to bring down the ph levels a little, stabilising the ph. That's why I got an extra skimmer to do just that, haha
  9. Ios, if input more than output, will flood the ios (depending on design). End up flood goes back to tank.Do you know how do set up laminar flow?
  10. How about bubble magus, grotech and Aquabee ?
  11. Is it worth the extra cost? Is there any benefits of controlling flow and wave?
  12. Which external cone skimmer model from bm do you recommend?
  13. why not get an aquarium controller with sms or email module?
  14. where can I get Sicce PSK 600 - 1000 pumps?
  15. FTS is? the more obstructions the better, for me that is, can use less livestock to fill the tank scape up, haha. wallet too shallow
  16. mar your FTS? looks like 1 UFO, cool looking, haha. one's tank must have one's style and signature. that's unique
  17. I am using the main return pump to drive them. so if my main return pump fails, the whole filtration fails anyway. if that's the case, must have double of everything!
