  2. With pump, $30 Used, not for fussy buyer. Pic of what it looks like... Interested pls contact me, collection at Siglap Thanks all.
  3. Hijack ur thread abit... Sorry but can i check where you got your sand dollar from?
  4. After ur cycling is complete, u need to do a major water change to export the high amount of nitrate accumulated... No doubt salt and di water is costly but if u compare the cost i think its still cheaper. Not to mention effective. Water change is very essential in our hobby. Base on ur tank size, ur gross water vol should only be about 125litres. 50% water change is approx 60+litres. for DD salt, recommended is 1kg of salt per 25litres of DI water. So u would probably only need 2.4kg of salt. That would cost u less then $30 for the salt mix!! Compared to the below: 1)Algae scrubber - even diy would cost u ~$100 for setup 2) biopellet - fr + biopellets ~$100 3) bac dosing ~ quality bac cost you $30 at least per bottle and its for long term application 4) carbon dosing ~ long term application Do the math, you know u need a water change now. Btw, on top of regular water change u still need to employ 1,2,3 & 4 (not entirely) over the entire span of your tank's life AND more forms of denitrification methods to keep ur nitrates low too... Your tank your choice....
  5. Looking for 2 sets of the above, ideally DElighting brand with black aluminum frame type as my custom light stand is designed for it. Or similar design will consider too If you have a good condition working set sitting around please pm me w pic and asking price. Thanks all!

  9. Dude, 2 things for u to ponder over: 1) unfortunately, this hobby requires a fair bit (no u dun have to be madly rich) of investment especially during the initial stage. Maintenance is much more manageable. All these money u are spending on livestocks you should really just keep them for ur setup fund until u have your basic equipments in place. This not only gives your pets a better survivability rate, it also give you more time to slowly cycle and correct ur tank. If budget is really a concern here, like it or not, i would suggest a different hobby for the time being 2) i am no expert, guru or saint and in fact had quite a few set backs when i first started (and i still do! But thats whats enjoyable about this hobby! Theres so much to learn)... One thing i learn (in fact some other bros also mentioned) is that u shouldn't solely depend on hearsay or lfs to tell u what to do... Whatever u hear/read, cross reference with others, check the different forums, google and read up on the subject. Until most ppl say its correct or most ideal then u do... its the most logical way... So many bros here are pointing u to a single direction, but u choose to heed the advice of one opinion which clearly points you differently, thats what frustrates ppl... This is a fun hobby so just enjoy urself k!
  10. Dude, google: http://www.publictransport.sg/content/publictransport/en/homepage.html

  13. Google nsw vs salt mix... Should answer most of your questions... For your own benefit, better start a new thread if u have questions... This thread will get u no where...
  14. I'm amazed... Im no vegan but i do believe that the minimal respect we can give to a slaughtered chicken is to eat it all up within reasonable means and not let it die in waste. Correct me if im wrong but i do believe its our bare basic responsibility to provide an appropriate living condition for anything we choose to bring home, be it a dog, cat, gorilla or fish. At the end of the day we don't "own" these animals we blatantly call pets. Since you choose to buy and bring them back, it's your responsibility to provide for them. Regardless of whether they are smart, dumb, have 2 seconds worth of memory or cheap, you have to give it some degree of care and take responsibility for it. We strip them from their natural environment, the least we should do is provide them a home as close as possible to the conditions of their natural homes. Extract from AVA: http://www.ava.gov.sg/AnimalsPetSector/ResponsiblePetOwnership/BeingResponsiblePetOwner/PotentialPetOwners/index.htm Its the only humane thing to do for these animals we bring home that cannot speak up for themselves. If you can't provide for whatever reasons, leave them for someone else that (hopefully) can. Sigh...
  15. Even with 1 (ONE) fish, and the need to feed the fish, u will still need the skimmer... U dun buy a bag of carbon... U buy carbon and put it in a filter bag and put in ur sump... To sum it up, u still need a skimmer...
  16. Check ur salinity... Also ur nh4 & no2
  17. My new tank's dt is 321, my sump is bigger then 321 thats how water volume is important to me... Its a hobby which unfortunately demands a significant amount of commitment...
  18. Well maybe u can start with lighting and seriously consider another cabinet... Hmm... Since changing cabinet, might as well the tank too Skimmer, fluidized reactor, chiller, piping works for ur "external to be" sump... You should be good to go...
