  1. I saw on madpetz web. Its is going for $168. But no choice, i gotta get one. I am looking at single head dosing pumps as well... Regards, Anonymous2294
  2. Btw, the contact i give above is a guy that builds tanks for marine and fresh.... Regards Anonymous2294
  3. Yeap. Second hand tanks are cheaper. You can find it at the buy/sell forum. I do have a contact that some one gave me. He told me it was quite cheap when he custom made his. I have yet to custom make mine but will most probably do so next year. Aquarium Artist Vincent 96959086 Regards, Anonymous2294
  4. I agree with raydiative bro. I started marine with a 2 gallon pico. The tank crashed after i went Taiwan for 8 days. 2 years later, I started my 8 gallon Boyu tank. I wanted something small, neat and inexpensive. My first thought was that the Boyu cube comes with everything so i can just plug in and use. But time proved everything wrong. I realised that the cube has many limitations. A bigger tank ensures better stability. Another fact we have to consider is that we are all humans. We tend to want achieve something better after a certain milestone. A cube will not allow for upgrades because it is a set and the only way to upgrade is to get rid of the whole cube. My current 8 gallon Boyu is doing well. I have plenty of LR, some chaeto in the sump behind, a bouyu skimmer and lots of Seachem Denitrator. I have 5 fishes, 1 boxer shrimp, 1 snail, zoas, brain coral, hammer coral, plate coral, etc. I do monthly about 40% water change. The tank is 6 months old this month. Regards, Anonymous2294
  5. Hi. Thanks for your suggestion:D I have done some reading about ATO. They seem fine for my use, small enough to fit into the tank. However, my concern is whether will it malfunction (inaccurate). Have you had experience using the JBJ ATO before? About how much does it cost? Regards, Anonymous2294
  6. Its not really no good, just that lots of limitations. There are also good side about JBJ cubes. They are nice and neat. As for other systems, you can try looking at rimless with a overflow sump at the back. I came across these tanks at many places but cant really remember where. If you have been to Jireh, a few of their nano display tanks are like that. The pump should come with the tank. You gotta get your T5 lights and maybe a chiller. Regards, Anonymous2294
  7. I got mine from different places. I used to buy from Nanyang Seaview at Jalan Kayu but recently, they have very little stock. Then i went to pasir ris farmway, a fresh water farm (with arowana and koi) opp Irwarna. I realised that Rainbow at Serangoon North has very beautiful fake corals but very expensive. Btw, rainbow is no longer called rainbow. They moved to a smaller shop, a few units away from the previous shop (near pets station). One piece of fake coral should not cost more that $10.00. Hope this will help you:D Regards, Anonymous2294
  8. I totally agree. Best is to go rimless. More convenient that way. Regards, Anonymous2294
  9. I dont use the JBJ Cube but have a Boyu Cube. Cubes have some limitations but it doesnt mean that they cant work. Here are some of the issues i faced: 1) Protein Skimmer 2) Temperature 3) Lighting There are many protein skimmers in the market. For me, I managed to get the Boyu protein skimmer that is small enough (with a bit of modification) to fit into the sump. That took me some time to complete. I have seen some reefers with JBJ cubes using external protein skimmers that hang onto the sump. Temperature is a big problem for me. I am using PL-18W fluorescent lights. I understand that JBJ uses LED lights instead of fluorescent lights so lesser heat is produced. Nevertheless, it will still be better to have a chiller. Some reefers remove the hood of the cube to allow more ventilation. Some use nano chillers. Some install computer fans onto the feeding lid. I use the simplest method, which is to build a platform over the water surface (below the feeding lid)and cable tie a Dymax fan onto it. Also, i leave the feeding lid opened 24 hours. Lighting should be fine for the JBJ Cube because they use LED lights. My PL-18W florescent lights arent that strong and nothing can be done except to modify to install LED lights. I hope that this will help you. Regards, Anonymous2294
