My IOS is at the back haha.. Well, you got two months, everyday slowly buy water home lor.. Haha.. I've pmed you! And yup! ML sells corals and equipments too!

Why don't you consider a 2ft cube with IOS? I have that set up and I'm using a BM NAC 3.5 in one of my compartments As for water, you can use Life Distilled water. You can get it at a good price from NTUC, 2x1.5 liters at $0.95, so one carton will be $5.50 and yup! LRs can get from marine life @ hong leong I got mine from henry too!

Hmm.. Then you know the pricing for the generic taps?

Hmm.. I already have the hose for the outlet.. Do you know how much will everything be if I need about 1.5m of hose for the outlet? My 1260 does not have the front cover at the inlet though.. So the hose size for the inlet is much bigger than the outlet..

Hmm.. Ok.. I'll check out both options and see which is more economical.. Is polyart just as cheap..? I'm always back late these days.. A bit hard to get to c328 before 10pm..

Yup! Agree with John.. D-D test kits are pretty accurate.. Only hassle is the slow dripping for the Ca-Mg-KH tests..

Hahaha.. Yeah.. I know right.. I was like o.O when I saw the price tag on one of the online shops.. Haha..

Hmm.. Ok.. Don't think I'm able to sell the pump.. So I'll probably have it hooked up next week when I'm less busy.. Needa go get more tubes and of course.. The double taps.. I just tested my water parameters.. I've got a huge NO3 spike and some dips.. Here are the readings: Salinity - 1.025 NO3 - 24 NO2 - 0.05 pH - 8.14 KH - 2.7 Ca - 400 PO4 - 0.08 Mg - 1280 Planning for a water change on Tuesday night / Wednesday afternoon..

The Ca-Mg-KH, 3 in 1 test kits costs $75.. But after that you can buy the refills for the individual parameters, which should cost around $19 if I'm not wrong..

I bought an Eheim 1260 for a fellow reefer just two days back.. Pump is about a year old, unfortunately, it can't fit into my IOS.. So I'd like to trade it for an Eheim 1250.. Any willing party please PM me or reply here! Thank you!

Still available!

I use D-D.. They have a Ca-Mg-KH set..

I have an Eheim 1260 which I bought from a reefer just 2 days ago. Never used it, cause its too big for my IOS. Previous owner used for about a year. I'd to sell or trade for a 1250! Looking to sell it at $80! Or if anyone would like to trade with a 1250, I'm ok too!

Hmm..... Ok.. Will consider to explore that.. The taps can be bought from hardware shops right?

I'm using the artica mini, it is quiet and I'm very satisfied with its performance!

Hmm.. So means for me, my connection will be.. Hose from return pump compartment > double tap > hose > pump inlet > pump outlet > Hose > double tap > hose > tank outlet ? Must it be double tap or single also can?

Heh.. Yup!! Looking forward to it! I guess if all goes well, the cycle will potentially be done by next week? wanna get some LS to eat those pods on the tank wall!! I got more hitchhiker snails joining the trail making -.- Hmm.. So means your connection is.. Pump > Hose > Tap > Hose > Tap > Hose > Outlet ? Haha.. So tempted to just spare myself the trouble of selling and getting a 1250 and just use scientist's solution!

On a side note.. I tested the parameters again today.. Here are the readings! Salinity - 1.025 NO3 - 2 NO2 - 0.02 pH - 8.03 KH - 3.5 Ca - 410 PO4 - 0.04 Mg - 1320

Hmm.. Okie! Thanks for the advises madscientist and kk! Decided to sell off or see if anyone wants to trade the 1260 for a 1250!

Hmm.. Where can I get at reasonable price?

Oh man.. I got a second hand 1260 and it doesn't fit my return pump section.. Either I hook it up external or I try to sell it / trade for a 1250.. I'd prefer to have it submerged though.. Hmm.. But in any case, anywhere I can go to get piping done if I want to hook it up externally?

Bro.. Are you still cycling your tank? I was dosing 15ml a day for 3 days.. I didn't dose on the 4th day, and just tested my water.. It was that much I dosed that brought my PO4 down from 4 to 0.16. I have a 2ft cube tank with 6" IOS..

Hmm.. Ok! I just got a second hand 1260. Will be collecting tonight. I think I'll just try it with one outlet.. I hope won't be an overkill at the outlet I think I can probably turn off the temporary powerhead if thats the case. If I'm putting the pump in the ios, do I need to put any tube/pipe at the suction inlet? or just let it sit in?

Hmm.. Ok.. Would it be an overkill if I use a 1260 pump?

Yeah.. It is difficult to reach to the bottom of the IOS.. Some more the return pump segment is just beside my cupboard.. Hmm.. If I change my return pump to the 1250, can I use the compact 1000 to pump water from my ATO reservoir to the tank?
