  1. acherly acrylic is used cos its transparent? otherwise pvc can substitute it right?
  2. ok i know i can use chlorofoam to join acrylic together, but issit safe if u just use that alone? especially if u wana make an acrylic tank, surely additional reinforcement is required? can we use silicone as well? The idea is to make it strong and ensure no water leaks out...comments, anyone? PS: i read from US webbys that we can use this product called weld-on #16 but i doubt we have it here... (mabbe i should ask my stewardess fren to get )
  3. hi bro... no dc leh...nid to get a dc real soon...! today the ring of sludge has increased in thickness and color. but it aint climbing up yet. i reckon could be some oil problems...after all i added 3 new powerheads to my tank, mabbe they all could be contributing to the problem.. i have also refrained from putting mi hands in too much. looking at using chopsticks... *already feelin weird spendin so much time looking at a dark piece of sludge on a daily basis*
  4. yes thats wat happened to me when i had to take out some of mi corals... e skimmer immediately KO....hhaaha... anyway so far it looks like its struggling to break in - the circular foam has become thicker though . i contend with AT that e pump could be e cause. After all, i started with a used pump and it foamed well after that i changed e pump and since its new, it probably has some oil on it....
  5. too much air could be one issue i guess.... i can look at e chamber n guess that i suppose? cos last time was whiter, now not so white... ya the pump is new and u may be right about e oil on it... makes very good sense... e more unlikely reason is lack of DOCs, wahahaha.... tks for the help, will go back and observe...
  6. hi guys, i am using the outsump model (400l) and currently am in e process of tuning. i used a valve to control e flow rate from pump into e skimmer - had some foaming wif a 1200l pump but decided that a 900l/hr would do and changed the pump. however, after fixing the 900l/hr, it seems like it couldnt skim anything at all. i did get a layer of foam but its like super wet and couldnt get itself up into e cup. instead it slides up and down. and when i turn off the pump to feed e fish, e water level goes down, and it goes back into my water i did try to increase e flow but e water level will overflow from the top of the chamber... under 1200l/hr - output flow very slow, tuned to the lowest with a valve - air intake about 3/4 - foam occured within 1 day under 900l/hr - output flow slow, but more than e 1200/hr - air intake about 3/4 - moving layer of wet foam i have attached a pic from planetg's skimmer (same as mine, literally ) red line shows e water level when both feeder pump and aquabee is on (bubbles are here) blue line shows e water level when only feeder pump is on. kindly advise....
  7. e last pic...u mean warped rite? i dun see e wrapped leh...
  8. very similar to eaqua... new webby? didnt know of it till now. looks good, e range...
  9. eden 228 reserved by Deepblue. Maxijet still available...
  10. yeps. its the rotating head one... flowrate = 1000l/hr
  11. Maxijet 1200 - $40 Eden 228 - $30 collection at bkt panjang/tampines
  12. upz... (was supposed to sell to Hippo but i see he made other plans...)
  13. yeah...changing the feeder pump to a smaller one... but it was foaming lotsa bubbles oredi. Though i predict its going to be quite watery...
  14. Idra: 1300L/hr, $30++, more Watts/heat input, bigger footprint Maxijet: 1200L/hr, $40++, less watts/heat input, smaller footprint
