Haha...not time for fraggin lah bro.....'wait for it to flourish' first. Will give u some for exchange of ur precious acan perhaps?

Sharks, only managed to resolve 70% of the mirco-bubble problem.....Waiting for vincent to add another joint (tee-off) from the return pump to the chiller (also to improve the flow-rate). Hopefully a longer distance for the micro-bubble to travel from: last chamber to return pump-> Return pump -> Chiller->Main tank and not so noticeable by then. If not, then probably haf to get the filter-socks, hmm...

hi bro, haha...these few days very shaq, back/shoulder aching liao. Setting up of the wavemaker and i think i finally managed to subdue the micro-bubble problem.

Hi Bro, Actually i have 2 packets, one red and green (vege). NO problem lah, i be more than willingly to share with you...

Oh yah hor, ur car on sat can drive whole day right? then i no need to wake up so early liao...okay see how it goes bro..

Okay, i think ikea haf hammer and chisel also..see how it goes. if cfm then tmr i drive to office b4 7am, then 3pm i go irwana to buy during my lunch break...kakaka...

see how the respond lor...eh irwana got supplied hammer and chisel anot? haha..

Okay bro, hope 2 more reefers can chip in to share........if not jim, we cancel it cos i dont need such big piece too....

if i not wrong, one 'big' rock of dragon eye cost 1 blue and 3 red notes.....

Hi Bro, today and tmr shippment day, eh anyone wana to share dragon eye zoas/other nice zoas from iwana?? hehe....hopefully 4 reefers can share ...

But bro, we did the' hard work' mah and of cos, with the other reefers who already had one....and beside we r learning from each another experiences so should be a breeze should u decide to start one.

Some updates: Duration before chiller kick-in again is abt 2hrs 30mins. That means if over a 24 hr period, chiller kick-in time is: 10.5hrs & chiller rest time is 13.5hrs. Can be improved further with higher flow rate. Guess i can only do so next week.....

Yah, wavemaker should help in clearing but get those good ones, if not it will further induce heat into the tank causing ur chiller to work harder. oh haha..nevermind lah...think i not getting the red sea saltmix, just add tap water for today. Then sunday head down to irwana for nsw and do a water change.....

Usually hailea kick in at +1degree difference, well happen to my previous model. Hmm..u havent get the external controller ah? i heard sim lim square got sell also, less than 2 blue notes but i not sure exactly which store, haf to 'rackee' lor.... Alot of particles floating on the water surface or in the water column? Try change ur filter wool, or could it be the sand? just a guess...not live sand right? Then got rinse with fresh water before putting in the tank? Ur anthias so 'xiong'?? crab also attach ah? I think AM still have sallylightfoot crab ah, but the strawberry crab seems more robust lei...hehe....Then who gona to clean n empty ur skimmer cup when u not in sg? Or go for more wet skimmate so that the top (foam) part will be at the upper part of the neck... Sian man, now sump tank not enff nsw cos the chiller 'suck' in alot of it. Lazy to go irwana to buy nsw and haf to waste $20 bucks for OPC. Think i just de-chloride the tap water and add it in....hehe

Correction: Different in temp is +0.6 degrees. Temp set is 28 degrees, kick-in temp at 28.5 and stop at 27.9 degree. However the whole process took abt 2hrs. (I guess the flow rate is too slow as is tee-off from the return pump and by using my hands to feel the chiller's return to the main tank). Might fix another joint to improve the flow rate. Will update again on the next kick-in time. -Centre pipe is from the chiller (Quite weird, 3 return pipes, hopefully be covered with coraline algae soon)

Yup. The chiller kick off only after 0.5 deg after the the set temp. Mine is like after 0.4 or 03 deg past the set temp. (prob because mine is just a 1/15 hp) This is normal. It will also cool the water 0.5 deg past your set temp. So you actual temp swing is somewhere from 29deg to 28deg and vice versa if you set the temp at 28.5 deg cel.

Hi Bro, Nice and colourful tank you got there I waiting for the grotech supplements to come in as well, but might get other brand like zeovit. Heard good comments from other reefers and u might wana to check it out.

Tiny particles returning back to the main tank? Nope i dont have that except for the bubbles returning back to the main tank cos i remove the 'black sponge' cover the overflow pipe. Perhaps i get some small rocks to deflect the rushing water. U can try to use filter wool or sponge but bear in mind to change it or else overtime, u know lah nitrate go upz ..... Btwn, u using hailea HC300A right? I thought cannot calibrate? Only the HC150A can do that, maybe i wrong....... And the JBJ chiller now, set at 28 degrees, dont know why it kick it at 28.5 degrees? 0.5 degrees difference....think i better call the hotline...

You can try lor, most probably is the overflow pipe to ur sump or skimmer that is causing the micro 'particles' . Very unsightly especially when the lights are on right??

i'm still using hailea w/o ext temp controller...ok, means i have calibrated... my tank has lots of tiny little particles....do u have this problem? or i need to place more filter wool...

Yeah I think that was the calibration step I was talking about. see post 367 http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=83662&view=findpost&p=866488

u must have lost a lot of blood... ask u ah...i have set my temp at 28..how come my chiller can go beyond 28 to 30? n then starts to kick in...

RBTA? Whoa nice.....pics pls...hehe

Morning bro, yap this whole mth will be on bread and butter liao... Budget overshot......
