  1. maybe u can breakdown a list of equipments n livestock u have. at least get an idea how's the response. or u can check if u can export yr livestock to australia. I think need to find out from the lfs how to do it n whether they can do for u n u pay them a fee.
  2. comparing on paper specs, hp to hp, teco uses less wattage. but practical is always diff. wonder anyone does any experiment on this. I think teco wins on noise. artica has a woo woo sound when chiller kicks in.
  3. Xchanging these items for 2 cans of coke. 1) seachem strontium 3/4 full 2) Julian sprung sea veggies almost full, my fishes dun hill them. 3) overflow pipe Interested pm me. collection at bukit panj.
  4. Yo. Theres a guy selling artica 1/2 just today
  5. Bought frm coral farm. Been with me for few yrs. Size abt 2.5". Voracious eater. Selling due to its aggressiveness. Price at $40. Interested pls pm me. collection at bukit panj.
  6. if there isn't any gunk in water, no foam will be there. when something die in water yr Skimmer will also start to have more foam. if yr Skimmer does not have any foam produced, then means water clean. I know people test the ammonia, nitrite n nitrate to see the trend up n n frm the results, estimate the tank is cycled. for myself when I started marine, I waited abt two weeks before adding one damsel to test water. tat was in 2004. with the current technology, can buy So many quick start bacteria in market. one reputable brand is the simi boilics, can buy frm Madpetz.
  7. Hi Terryz, thanks. no rush. BTW, which part of sg u staying?
  8. Bro, u got show it in DIY forum? Search Liao cannot find leh. So electronic parts are aqualifter? Magnet cleaner is two little fishes ?
  9. my home with super 西照。。。tank also get natural sunlight. from 28deg to 27deg, ~ 19min 50secs.
  10. So when u put a cube of food inside the reactor, if never use up the food, the next day u need to clean the reactor? Cos food becomes bad.
  11. depends on far u put yr compressor. there's a distance limitation too. put trunking looks nicer than the black insulation exposing. So if the tank is near or next to service balcony then the trunking will be short. I read that people convert those window unit too, 5000btu
  12. for me pros would be savings from Not buying an aquarium chiller. if u want to twist the logic, u save $ by buying a compressor. 1) 1 hp aquarium chiller is very very ex. 2) read up on info abt same hp chiller n compressor but chill down time is vastly different. compressor is faster. 3) heat generation. pub bills yet to determine if there's any savings. I feel tat the factors determining compressor or chiller choice is water volume, sump space for coil, accept fact that a compressor is in view. A small water volume may not justify a compressor. if sump too small also can't put in coil even if dun mind installing a compressor. I passed my tr15 to my brothers 2ft planted tank. it takes 40mins to chill down frm 28 to 26. for my tank, it takes abt 3hrs to get frm 28 to 27
  13. my stop temp is 27. start temp is 28. I'm putting my temp probe inside the overflow. currently timing the ramp down time. wifey dun wan me waste $$ to make a cabinet to hide the compressor, just find some wood grain laminate stickers to stick it. Using compressor biggest issue is it stands out visually. but after u weigh in the pros, one tends to accept it. Not forgetting u need a supporting spouse too.
  14. Hi terryz, the auto food reactor is liquid food? how much is the cost? the dosing unit big? I'm feeding my fans using sprayed dry food. just added a purple sea fan or rod. need to see how it response to its location.
  15. Received my e27 light clamp holder, after 9 days of waiting. sadly the plastic housing of the bulb holder was broken. informed seller n arrange for replacement n return shipping. the right unit has a stronger flexible stem. the left unit is weaker. but still does the job. but as the flexible stem is short, the bulb is nearer to water n light spread not big. Following the idea that right rockscape is for SPS, left rockscape for LPS. Extreme left is for non photosyn species as light is dimmest. Using the E27 par38 bulb to provide additional light to SPS rockscape.
  16. bro, there r pple here with few units of led light sets , multiple dosing pumps, high end additives spend $$$$ buy exotic corals. their maintenance spending bery high. mine is one time cost.
  17. Decided to take the plunge. Got Derek to install a compressor. The decision is hard, besides putting a compressor in living room but also worrying if theres enough space for the coil. Derek is kind enough to lead me a coil to test out. Afraid of spoiling the coil, just roughly position the coil and once can confirm the coil can clear the tank frame n sump tank, decided to stop and wait for expert to come. Finally today is the day and Derek came and install the compressor. Here it the completed work. The coil is installed vertically. It will not block the skimmer pump, ease of maintenance. tonite will dismantle old chiller and clean it and tidy up the chiller compartment. Promise wife to shift my fishy stuffs frm her cabinet.
  18. wat color, red or green? yr top up water maybe not pure enough. never pop a bubble as it will spread. the emerald crab will surrender first n they might not eat what u want them to eat. search on net n u find answers like taking yr liverocks n scrub them. maybe adding a uv lamp will help to kill the pores. buy sea urchin n try out. or just wait for them to die off.
  19. I read tat u off the lights n shine the torch at water surface the frys will swim towards it n u can net them.
  20. ehiem 1250 is a needlewheel pump. why not get tat. atb pinwheel not sure can fit rite? or u already find out can fit. reefsystems carry atb Skimmers. but not sure they will get the impeller for u...
  21. Hi, is tat a reef Octo XP-2000sss skimmer?
