Big big plans coming right...heehee, upz for your sales! Nice healthy ATs, saw with my own eyes!

Im gg to measure again how long it takes to chill from 28 to 27 tonight... But having 4hr + climb from 27 to 28, is really amazing! If only the chilling part can be faster!

Oh, im using an external Temp senor prode. Its working so much better than running thru the chiller's own sensor. This, i tested on my 24G. So much more saving in Electricity. My Chiller is 2nd handed, still with warranty though.

1/3 hp. .

Hmmm...chilled 4.5 hrs before kicking in again...changed back to ab2000, hopefully the chilling will be faster.

change to a smaller pump with 1300 flow rate. Took 2 hr to chill from 28 to 27. .

Guys, I m running my chiller with Ab2000 pump. I had been trying to chill from 31 deg to 27. And it takes hours to reach 29.3...is there something wrong? Or is it my vol of water?

Ok. I try your recommendation later.

Nah, im not using DIY wavebox. Was planning to do that, but removed the idea due to the RISK. Instead, i got 2 2nd handed Tunze wavebox. Its not as power as i tot it will be...video will have to wait ya..

Shifting my Teco chiller and external thermosat from 24G to 3FT...

A good reefer fren borrowed me his skimmer pump. And after abit of modification to the output head (whichout changing anything to his pump), my skimmer is back in action! Many thanks BRO!! (You know who you are.)

My ATO wasnt working last night...Yellow light on pump but wasnt pumping water I off the switch and on the ATO again...and then the pumping start... - Pump must be kinda faulty in a way... Then after the water level reached sensor1, the pump stopped....BUT, after awhile, i go back and view the reservior level, it was BACK to the original level again!!! FINDINGS 1. Never place ur pipe output submerged in the water. Though the pump stopped, due to the pressure in the pipe and the level of the pipe and pump, the siphoning of water turned direction, sucking water from the sump back to the reservior! 2. Use reputable pump...

Hoorah!!!! After 3days of hidding, the yellow cutie is out swimming in its new home!!! So happy!!!!

In Reefing, there seems to be countless unforeseen event going on everyday... This AM, after turning the light on for the 24G, i almost stepped on my cutie Yellow Wrasse on the floor! It must had got frightend by the sudden light on... I managed to save it, and it became the 1st fish to inhabbit the 3FT.

Alright, its a blessing to be able to write my log today... I had found the culprit that cause SB to trip...(faulty skimmer pump!!1) I reach home yesterday, and its pitch dark! no Electricity at all....FXXX!!! Haizzz... After power is on, everything went back to normal... Luckily for me, all livestocks seems to be in good shape except for 1 mini nano goby (proof dead, after missing for so long) Its not the ATO & Pump fault...Its the Skimmer Pump. One of the 2 pumps seem not working, with no bubbles produced. Hence, i took it out to maintance after switching off the pump's power. Puting it back, and try again, no movement...hmmm, thinking its the popeller's problem, i pulled the cable from the top (With power on). The next moment, i see a tiny spot of light from the pump accompanied by instantly, a loud "POP" sound, and then pitch darkness (due to power trip). LESSON LEARNT - Never finger with equipment underwater with electricity on. If i had placed my hand inside, who knows what will happen....

Seems like the trip happens close to dawn... I suspect its the pump plug to the ATO as well.... Noted Soul...will check on it today evening

Had a big scare this morning, imagine waking up to no electricity! Its pitch dark, and you cant see any moving things in the tanks.... After switching off all equipments, the Switch board still doesnt kicks in! Lucky CO pointed out to check the main SB from outside the corridor. And then, you can see light to the end of the tunnel! Luckily, everything is fine. Fishes still swimming and no cloudy water! What had caused the trip? - switching on each equipment one by one, and the fault lies with the ATO that i had installed last night. Seems like thats the cause, and had been removed for investigation tonite! What a start of the day...

THe leather coral is doing better now, compared to the squeezy location inside the 24G. Starting to have little polyps appearing!

First Coral in my 3FT!

Terry, nice scape! Very diff from your previous. The backaching was definitely worthed it!

I think the test kit is correct... I tested again 1 hr after adding the kh powder...Raised to 4.2 Then i test my 24G, its 5.4 only!!! Goodness...

TEST LOG Days: 23 PO4 - 0.5 (Dropped from 2, after adding Phosplock) NO3 - 5 NO2 - <0.25 NH4 - 0 SG - 1.024 KH - 3.8 (funny...)Added KH powder...

Hey! Its doing well! Glad to see that! Had they propogated?
