  1. Hi, you can check this out, might be what you're looking for, cheers. http://www.reefdepot.sg/AddProduct.asp?ProdID=883
  2. You can check the swop shop or pasar malam, being given away
  3. LOL!! TURBO snails DON'T move FAST, that's a good one, so ironically funny!
  4. The shop in Yishun is called AQUASTAR. Here's the website, http://www.aquastar.com.sg/. Cheers.
  5. Hi guys, I think TS xaine has been kind enough to answer a couple of questions already, but his thread is being diluted.. No offence,
  6. Just chanced upon this thread yesterday, great read..Then login today and someone's about to climax..LOL!! Will stay tuned to see where it ends.
  7. I have used an OHF long time ago and I distinctly remember having problems with salt creep/spray. Quite unsightly and if it is bad enough, I think it will affect your salinity as well. But pro is that media change is easier than canister. If you can, go for a sump I feel. Just my 2 cents, cheers.
  8. Modern day Santa..Upz for you for spreading the good cheer!
  9. Ya I saw this, about $16, still alright, but online opinions about it are more - than +. Also I feel it is a little more bulky than the other 1 (tank space at a premium) and I haven't seen it in black, sticks out against my black background. Having said that, I think it was designed with the planted aquarium in mind, hence the color. My surface is agitated quite a bit but not vigorously, Hmmm...didn't think of that.
  10. Thanx bro tunicate, for the well detailed diagram, a picture speaks a thousand words... Yes bro, my water level does fluctuate, I top up manually about 1.5L every other day and in my 2.5ft, it translates to about a 2-3mm drop in water level. Ok, your point about the styrofoam noted but you know how a sheet of styrofoam is made up of many tiny balls, I was thinking of just one or two balls at exactly where your (Float)arrow is pointing. Just enough to get the float to not sink, but not so much that it would float completely out of the water line. I have only seen this device in its packaging in the LFS, haven't scrutinised it, but it appears that the rim where your arrow is pointing should trap some air to keep it afloat, so I'm not sure why bro bugattilambo said it sometimes sinks down..well practice always different from theory..Anyway might give it a try soon, if anyone has a piece to sell, staying near Sembawang, do let me know, otherwise it's ok, it's only about $10 in LFS, thanx.
  11. OIC, thanx for the tip bro. I guess I can live with that as opposed to having a canister with air in it and running dry. Maybe a small piece of styrofoam under that plastic piece would keep it from sinking, you think? Anyone else has any other input?
  12. Hi bro nowhere, don't mean to hijack your thread, but is this the type of surface skimmer you talking about? If used with a canister filter, does it suck in air/water mixture and eventually cause the canister to stop pumping? Need to prime canister often? Anybody with experience can advise? Thanx.
  13. Wah boss, good deal man! Too bad I got a setup already, if not would have taken your offer. Anyway upzz for you.
  14. Hi, where is Ah Beng shop? I thought I might find it here, but I couldn't, thanx.
  15. Hi bro, confirm about the rocks/sand, pls reserve, thanx. How big is the tank btw?
  16. Ya I can second Harlequin on that, I have checked with carpenter before, same response. Another option is, there are self adhesive stickers(similar to OYAMA) that come in the same color and design as formica. I bought white color to do up my daughter's IKEA cupboard about 2yrs back, still in pretty good condition. If you interested, let me know, the shop is near sembawang, Cheers.
  17. If I have aquarium safe silicon, is it alright to use that in place of the PVC glue and just follow the steps you outlined above?
  18. Hi bro, If your budget is tight, you can consider one of those TOYOGO containers or IKEA plastic tubs for a sump. Will require a litlle planning and DIY I guess, but still doable I think. Just my 2 cents worth, maybe the seniors can comment..Cheers
  19. Hi bro, welcome to the hobby. I know you must have heard it said a thousand times before, but once again, don't be in a hurry to make your setup look "full". Good luck to your search and happy reefing.
  20. Whoever got the tank, you are one LUCKY dude. Good luck with the move, hope you have lots of help, cheers.
