poomoon

thanks camping first, will just update until i get my other stuffs in as for the sand, might have to settle for just white live sand, might be getting caribsea coming in next week

haha, i'm even worse than you i think

Got to get this ...

Haha, i would want to upgrade to a bigger one (and obviously she does too), that time will come, maybe in a year or so. Sure will do. Thanks. How's your skimmer doing ? Still got the microbubbles ? How often do you have to attend to the cup ? and also how's the noise, silent ?

Thanks. this is now bro poomoon haha. Yup thanks for the offer. Anyway for now nothing to do yet haha. so you're the first one on my list to call. As for the dimensions, it is a 'little' smaller than yours bro, due to some space constraints (which actually no longer became a constraint, but too late, tank almost complete). it's 16 in x 14 in x 18 in. And when it arrived, my GF first comment was ' isn't it a little small"

haha thanks. yeah, exactly - samoa pink. ok so i'm the "mystery" pm-er in jacky's posting of the reefpack review and i'm sure that post also would help a lot of curious reefers

hi, for now just going for Tunze Reefpack 200 ...

hi all, just to journal my new tank, finally arrived. my cube is almost a copy of bro jacky's at first considered crystal glass, then again was quite concerned about breaking and stuff, and quite heavy. i attached an initial pic (sorry not to clear, rushing, and not FTS hehe, suspense). actually wondering if i will post this already since all other stuffs (like reefpack) have yet to arrive have to consider a lot of stuff since it will be in my room. anyway, gives me time to think of rockscape concept, and also do some cycling before i go on vacation. by the time i'm back, everything should be in btw, to go with the pink room, anyone knows where i can get nature ocean's pink sand ? so things should start to get rolling after about 3 weeks or so

helps thanks thanks

reef depot used to carry them, not sure now. high quality but quite expensive, even more than real ones i think check out reef depot site.

haha. cute. but i thought they say be careful in having both hermits and snails together ? because the hermit may eventually vacate his shell and target the snail ?

not really a lot, got 3 tiny fishes (clown, dominoe, damsel), got a few zoa frags (started from 1, but grew quite fast), a bubble, and a green star polyp. one of my live rock started to grow a sponge, and also some other polyps, and some other growths (dunno what they are!), heavy coralline. the same rock has quite some tunnels inside, and i see a couple of inverts (prawns???) inside walkin around, but never go out. oh, and got 2 snails cleaning crew bubble getting bigger, and dominoe hosts it. nemo seems hosting one of the bigger zoas and now i want more and running out of space, so upgrading to 'a little' bigger tank anyway, sikiee, thanks. yeah give it a try. i guess the longer you stare at your tank, the more ides you will have. be patient and start slow on filling up with live ones, and not too much. we're all here to help

sounds similar haha ...

YEAH ... lol

ok i get it. and that metal 'titanium' is resistant to 'sea water' ?

ok. anyway just to share, this is what my BF did to my small tank. it's showing side view. the one on the left is how it was, and the right is after. you see the light hood was raised (about an inch i think) using some L-shaped plastic he got from DIY store, put in 4 of those on the corners of the light hood. now there's open space between. at the same time the flow down from the filter is now also showing (like a waterfall) so i guess having that open concept it also helps cool the water before it goes back to the tank. might not be the best solution, but is working for me now. my lights have no fans, just exhaust slits

umm, do you mean running the tank water in and blowing with a fan ?

haha yeah thanks. sorry also sikiee. we're trying to get the tank in coz we'll be out on holiday for 2 weeks early december, so just nice to have the tank cycling already he said with NSW and some live sand and cured rocks or something

haha. here's another one. this thing can just wrap around you if it wants to ...

hey jacky. umm, my BF still checking it out. since i wanted a bigger tank NOW and it's still in my room, he said maybe we can set-up a 1.5 cube like yours first. so now he's quoting for a crystal glass something. dunno if he ordered already. will keep you posted

true. i have one similar tank, and before i have my temp at 29-30 deg. had 2 pumps inside for filter and flow. no fans. so added an air pump to aerate, then did a DIY to raise the cover and have it like 'open concept' raising it about 1 inch. now temp is normally at 27-28 deg, and with aircon running it drops to about 26 deg. just my 2 cents. now planning to do a slightly DIY LED to help lower the temp more. without the lights can go 24-25 for me.

shouldn't be that the fans are 'drawing out' the heat from the lights and blowing it outside ? - Chiller - cost, but most effective - Evaporative cooling (fans blowing on the surface of the water) - need daily water top-up, humidity btw, with the lights off, what's the temperature ?

wow cute, such a doll oh she was sick ? yeah she looks ok and happy. hope she's ok now

good call your little princess seems very happy kissing mickey

wb jacky. so anything u got from hk ?
