wah they think the cycling an olympic size swimming pool ah???hahhaha anyway, u should get a surface skimmer (i think $15 can get liao) to attach it with your canister...the layer is toxic, i think it should be undissolved protein (not very sure) it prevents air from mixing with your water, so gotta remove them....

hi all, i am upgrading to a 3 X 1.5 X 2 ft tank...i decide to leave the DSB in my sump so maybe 3-4inches of sand in my main tank....not intending to keep SPS juz some common LPS like hammers frogspawn mushies and zoo (having 2nd thoughts now). might wanna grow a mangrove plant also, not for the N03 purpose but i think it looks cute if it extends above my hood.... so my question is, wat kind of MH should i use.... some advised 2 X 150W, others say 1 X 250W, my pocket hinted PL and my galfren sreamed "stop your stupid marine hobby!!" i noticed there are 10kk bulbs and also 20kk bulbs....150W and 250W all this numbers are driving me nuts and the numbers behind '$' is also driving me crazy.... any experts can enlighten me on the numbers??thanks...

if the welding cannot withstand the weight, i doubt the epoxy will.... welding can be done even with your tank intact....but i think u need to pay more to get the guys to do it for u in your house....maybe u might wanna get help from renovation companies? or u can look around for contruction sites and ask the Blangadeshies ( i hope i spelt it correctly, no offences) to help u. currently my house has some guys doing welding in my void deck....i stay woodlands 715...if its convinient, u might wanna come around here and ask...

well...i specially took out the thicker once....i would say its like carpet....i would say should serve the same purpose as a styrofoam....and not forgetting, i'm did not fill it with sand not LR, juz a bit of corals, maximum weight 5-7kg.....and water, not even 1/2 filled.... i know that it is a must to have styrofoam below any tank or sump, in order to compensate any uneven ground and to relieve any stress points on the tank....but if it not able to withstand even 4pails of water, how can it hold 8-9 pails + LR(some pple put LR in their sump) + DSB (some pple prefer to have the DSB in sump so that it won't look ugly in the main tank)??

well, the tank was left on the floor with cloth underneath it, so i didn't put any styrofoam.... anyway, the split was at the side, in the middle and did not start from the bottom or the top, so i guess it's not the styrofoam thing....the best part....i have not even filled 1/2 the sump yet!!!!!
-
actually its not even glass...... i've informed my fren, and he say he'll talk to the manufacturer...... i dun wanna give names coz it might affect my fren and the manufacturer......

hi all, i am upgrading to a new tank this weekend. needed to get rid of my old tank.so as preparation, i wanted to take out all the LR and LS and the water so tat i can shift my tank and stand away. happily, i took all my corals out and put them in a spare sump....so i filled 1 pail of water, 2 pails....3 pails 4th pail, while filling up, i heard...."crack"....hhhmmmm, maybe the sump is warming up (basically didn't bother)....fill, fill ,fill....smiling smiling smiling, thinkin of my new tank......... "splash"!!!!!!!! my worst nightmare.....the joint of the sump gave way........water came splashing out!!!!! stoned and stared for a split second..... "sis!!! bring me all the cloths in the house!!!" she rushed in my room with about 20 army towels..... took me 2hrs to clear up the sea water and another hour of intense mopping.... juz to show how bad was the split.... my hand is there to give a rough estimation of the split....so i would say the split was almost 8inches long.....can actually put a warranty card through it!!!! wat the F%*K man......
