tri-colour leh...MY GOD...where u get from huh??

your blasto is CHIO!!!!!! stocking up with gems hor...damn shiok...wish i can afford blastos...

which one u want?? the e-ballst or magnetic ballast.. IMHO, both are the same...just that e-ballast can help to extend your bulb's life...but i dun think there is any solid proof...

for a 2ft tank u might be interested in the new rio seio 620...i think 820 might be a little too strong for your tank... but then again, it might look ugly, considering your tank is small...check it out...good price and low wattage too...

can always call me at 9002 4001, robin here...

nope...i wasn't into marine back then... it doesn't seem like a RO/DI unit, it doesn't extract dirty water...which mean all the water will be used and need not throw away, which is a characteristic of a RO/DI unit...

hi all, have decided to upgrade my lights to 1X250W + 2 X39W T5... so letting go of my 2X150W 1st set: normal viclite type.magnetic ballast. 10kk XM bulbs about 1mth old only. PRICE: $110 (bulb is quite new, bought at $75) 2nd set: normal viclite type. amatech e-ballast. 10kk XM bulbs about 1mth only PRICE: $130 (bulb is quite new, bought at $75) take boths sets for $200...price is non-negotiable.. XM bulbs have the 2nd highest PAR value only losing to IWASAKI bulbs... http://www.cnidarianreef.com/lamps.cfm http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?...04&hl=xm&st=105 both sets look identical other than the ballast...the pic shows the amatech e-ballast for the 2nd set... however, pls wait until i settled my upgrade...thanks...

hey DB, i am interested in the 250W MH...everything included?? can pm me the price u are asking for?? thanks..

i used to have the diamond thingy...from my experience, it doesn't throw away any water...all water are used and i think it is just a filter unit that clears away unwanted dirt.... after drinking it for a month, my family felt no effect (it supposed to make u feel energized)...so we returned it to the manufacturer...it was just a trial....

i lost mine like that too....didn't bother bout it and one day it simply went missing and nvr found...

write to HDB and complain...i always like to complain...hahahaha....

bubbles king might not be a favourite because of its awesome pricetag...but if u see the display set in eaquanature, u can tell the difference between a H&S, Euroreef, macro and the bubble king... it produces tremendous amount of bubbles, i would say comparable to a dual beckett skimmer...

some use cable tie...but IMO since it doesn't come in contact with seawater, then a normal metal kind will do...

H&S is plug and play...not need a lot of tuning...really convinient... AquaC would be a little trickier...but still not much problem... as mentioned, go for the biggest u can afford...

i heard that 150W MH does come in SE type...but not very common...usually SE types comes UV coated...that's all that i know...

freaking hell.... to the designer ###### maker...huge huge project...make my DIY stuffs look terrible... always wanted to learn how to make the curve...but dun dare to ask the maker. ..love the curve too...

any takers??

very very nice... but i heard they can jump out of tanks when startled...issit true??

dama is in ubi

still available..

still available...

found a pic liao... it is the circled piece..the bottom piece sold liao...it is a little green on its body...

swap with my hammer u want?? but my hammer a little die off liao, now healing back..when fully open, cannot see the damaged part...no pic to show leh...u might wanna come take a look 1st...

your temperature is way too high...even for fishes...needless to say bout corals..corals will melt in your tank...if u are cheapo like me, use a fan...

basically, most of us here utilise sump like a storeroom...to store all the stuffs like skimmer, FR, refugium and watever not...it is also used as a mechanical filteration where u put the sponge to take away huge particle dirt...other than that it creates a bigger water reservior which means your whole tank setup will be more tolerant to chemical changes... whether 2 or 3 or 4 compartments depends largely on wat do u want to put in it...in my opinion, make it as large as possible with less compartments so that most of the things can be dumped inside...and it creates a larger water reservoir as well... as for kind of filteration media, i recommend only sponge...no bio ball as it will become a nitrate factory as discussed before...but it all depends on your preference, some swear that bio balls are the best but other say NO to bio balls...i follow suit and utilise the most prefered method...without bio ball... try to have more LRs and a DSB in your main tank and leave your sump as empty as possible so that u can put more equipments in it...as u mentioned,u want to have a reef tank, so bio ball should not be used..the reason being bio balls tend to break down the DOC into ammonia into nitrite and nitrate very very fast, thus the nitrate factory theory...but DOC is also toxic to most fishes and corals so to curb this, a mighty skimmer should be used...
