  1. Hi selling minimum used Quick Start System( item purchased early this year)from Jireh Marine Brand New Pump( atman ) and new Air Pump Suitable for 2ft tank Looking at 50, retails are 208 Thanks
  2. OK i have PM you the price and the way i DIY the stand Let me know if you need any other help
  3. Haha bro thats exactly what i did The only problem is that the Salinity of the water was different, my NSW was low in salinity and the Salt mix is high So cant do a sudden change and shock the system, must do a gradual increase of salinity
  4. Thanks Used to use NSW but as you mentioned the volume is too much for our tank, now using Salt mix, i believe Salt mix can be kept sealed(or prepared as required) compared to SW
  5. Good Question haha ok My collection cup is still not collecting as effectively, very little brownish matter, adjusted the flow many times, at times just collects clear water Possible that the Skimmer is not effective, but i am not sure is it because i am Changing water weekly and providing Controlled feeding( only counted 3 pellets per feed)
  6. Hey Bro Welcome to the Club The skimmer was about 20 odd dollars The Vortex fan i cant recall the price, but i will find it out for you Contact me if you need any help or advice, i am a newbie too but been able to run the IQ5 so far so good got a lot of help and advice from fellow reefers here Keep up the momentum and do share your tank with us once you setup
  7. Tank Update Added Gonio and Clam New Pictures
  8. HI Thanks for that Advice Did go to their website to check it out Small problem though, DYMAX IQ 5 the design is such that the water will only evaporate from the IOS chambers not the main tank, so the float cant fit into the small Chamber
  9. Hi I am in a quest to find a solution for Water evaporation for my Dymax IQ5 Since i am using a fan cooling the system to about 28 C i am having heavy evaporation Please PM me if you have any DIY/Chiller/auto top up system that can cater to a PICO Thanks PS: Not being lazy, just that when i go on vacation for few days i got no means of topping up my pico:)
  10. Hi I am using the Dymax Skimmer meant for Dymax IQ 5 I am yet to see the effectiveness of this skimmer, just started to add more LS
  11. Tank Update DIY tank stand and installed Par 30 LED Got some LS Zoas - can somebody help me ID what Zoas is this Gonio Bangai cardinal Sorry for the Iphone Photos Can i get some recommendation on food for the corals My Dkh is at 8 Thanks
  12. Resser Thanks for sharing, will attempt to build one and seek your advice if i have any issues If possible do share the tank photos, of the whole tank
  13. hi Can someone help me ID the below Looks like a nudibranch, is this reef safe? Should i remove it or leave it Thanks
  14. Thanks Bro Not sure what is the stock light specs, i will check with aquaempire the next time i visit them by the way, can i ask what are the white dot like stuff on my chaeto? i have attached the picture
  15. Yes Bro, Aware of that What i did, i cut off the Dymax Sticker covering the chamber on the left of the tank, i am directing the stock light through the clear Arcylic( after the sticker is removed). I am directing the light for about 12 hours daily, is that sufficient? Once i fix my PAR30 for my Tank, my stock light will solely be fixed at the left of the chamber to provide light for the chaeto let me know if i should do anything else to this Thanks
  16. Paid a Visit to Madpetz yesterday Bought the Par 30 LED bulb and holder Took advice from the Nice bro there to use chaeto in my Dymax So got back, removed my stock Black sponge( left a small portion inside for bacteria purpose) left the Carbon and Bio ring filters in and added the chaeto While doing this, from my Rock, suddenly a 3-4 inch long thread like thing came out floating, still attached to the rock( sorry didnt take the photo) The tank is stable now, all clear but was just wondering what was that
  17. Thanks Bro Thats quite cheap, what light spec and brand was that? I will make a trip this weekend
  18. bro can PM me the Complete setup cost Thanks
  19. Haha Sorry bro for assuming you would know Ah beng ok the address for aquaempire is 8 PASIR RIS FARMWAY 2 SINGAPORE If you are familiar with Pasir ris farm way, as you pass OTF( on the right)and come to a corner, pass the pet dog centre, further up you will see on your right a fake arowana on the entrance with a signboard on the right "happy Prawning" that is the entrance to Ah beng Shop, if you dont turn right into the Fake arowana entrance and make a left turn, that is the entrance to Aquaempire( you got to follow the sign to get there) Hope didnt confuse you
  20. Hi Bro Name is Ruban , rukas is just a nick I bought the IQ5 and the accessories from Aquaempire They are just located opposite the entrance to Ah beng shop, you cant see from main road, have to go in and follow the direction sign Aquaempire keeps tropical fish, but its the same owner( manufacturer) as DYMAX(.

  22. Great Information Thanks Bro. So this means if i want to keep Coral and prevent a NO2 issue, i must increase my salinity What would be your advice? add salt to the salt water i buy or do it from the scrath( DI/RO + Salt )
  23. I buy my sea water from Ah Beng shop, i still get my salinity at 1.020. I am using a floating hydrometer( DYMAX ) its a glass tube together with thermometer What should i do next? get another Hydrometer or mix my own saltwater? Thanks
