  1. agree with the nemo pair maybe if we put the shop logos they'd sponsor us
  2. for turtleweed just make sure you have enough lights though not too strong. flow must be present and your water should have enough calcium, and iron as a trace element
  3. i presume by maiden's hair you meant turtleweed, ah beng brought in quite alot of them. small pieces of rocks covered with turtleweed. you can get chaeto from iwarna
  4. i don't think i can find anything that i put in that they do not eat
  5. anyone seen any? i cant find them at the pasir ris farms, TK AM, or GO
  6. sold and collected. thanks for viewing
  7. the third mod i came across on another forum is to drill a hole into the skimmer collection cup. the person did so with the original intend to allow the skimmate to stop at the certain level in the cup and overflow into another container but what came about was even better skimmate. his theory is that air was able to enter from the top which somehow somehow made things better and he wasn't the only one who tried that with success too bad i can't seem to find the link has anyone heard or tried out something like this?
  8. another mod i heard of is the restriction of air entering the chamber mainly through the use of an air valve for skimmers that does not come with it. if i'm not wrong, higher grade skimmers have a way to control air to optimize skimmer performance basically an air valve is attached to the air inlet and closed off almost completely so that the bubbles produced would be smaller and produce better skimmate. this however i limits air intake which may or may not eventually improve skimmer perfomance. some bros here have done such a mod so hopefully they can shed more light on this
  9. from what i know the mesh most commonly used and what has deemed to be the most effective is enkmat which produces the most turbulence and creating a whole lot of microbubbles which are driven into the skimmer. though such a mod can most probably only be used on needlewheel impellers. i've yet to heard of one applied on a normal water pump
  10. i'd start off first, there's the needlewheel pump mod (mesh mod) here's a write up by Leroy from http://www.newengland.reefbuilders.com/
  11. i'm hoping to start a thread that would eventually contain all the skimmer and skimmer pump modifications out there for our fellow reefers to learn from and carry out on their own. the main purpose (which everyone would want) is to improve the performance of our skimmers and to attain as much skimmate as possible for every different skimmer. hope everyone how there would contribute on the mods out there and from other forums
  12. i personally feel the tampines mall one has some stuff which the price are acceptable. they have some rocks with red mushrooms/yuma for $12 which i think is worth it for some pieces. galaxy corals are at $30 and they are quite hard to find in other shops/farms
