bro, u very fierce leh..

bro, like that i think my weipro is better loh.... md40 is certainly enuf...thumbs up to Joe_p...beckett skimmer's sales will be up very soon....

bro, get ready to receive the TOTM award....

my frogspawn did the same thing too, excretes brown slime...so it is ok?? it is not dying yet and opens up well when MH are on....

just before i left vinoth's place,lowered the water level... a little foam formed....a thin layer only... 1.38pm

notice that the top layer is slightly brownish?? hehehehe....finally.... 1.20pm

top view 1.20pm

after tuning the air intake, i raised the water level to help in the breaking in.... 12.34pm

another close up... 10.54am

finally woke up early enough to bring my skimmer to vinoth's place before he leaves his house for work... set up at around 10.54am...

y dun u use full acrylic?? 1st: it looks nice 2nd: easier to join all together 3rd: lotsa colour to choose from really cannot wait for it to happen...the Retiring DIY guru supposed to have retired long ago right?? hhhmmm...i wonder if we are toking but the same master...

wah....so dangerous ah?? i was thinking of using this method for my new plan...have to change again...

hhhmmmm....4 becketts >> 4 md55s running at the same time, 3600ltr/hr X 4....wah, i think u need at least 2 X 1.5inches spear gate valves or even 4inches spear gate valve....its gonna look like a chemical plant....ahahahha at least 15inches diameter acrylic tube at 2m....i hope the thickness of the acrylic are at least 15mm thick...there's gonna be huge stress on the bottom box.... can't imagine the size of this monster....closest i can think of is 2 public rubbish bins stacked one on top of the other....

bro, like tat very difficult lah...imagine have to lao sai everyday...very soon will become "neng ka" hahhaaha i think as long as the DOC remain on the top layer of the foam then should be alright isn't it?? not too sure, but most pple prefer drier skimmate....

bro, u very "ngiao" leh...that is not a sneak, that is just a tube!!!! my god....hai....can't wait to see your monster skimmer....pls keep posting, even better if u can teach all of us how to make it...

bro, u a bit slow leh...check out my RobSKim Master...even better check out Joe_P's beckett skimmer!!! HAHAHAHA learn from me?? no prob, definitely can exchange lotsa tips...

i think 10mm should be thick enuf...does your tank come with euro bracing?? since your tank height is only 1.5ft should be a prob....i've seen 6mm glass used for the exact dimension, its scary but its fine....

bro, any sneak preview to your monster beckett?? a little clue also can...

instead of using a single siphoning pipe, u should have added a second one...to increase the siphoning rate, i would definitely prefer to have a higher flowrate... if not, instead of 25mm pipes, u should have used 40mm ones....

both extracts out DOC, just that wet skimmate will drain out your salt water...that's y most prefer drier skimmate to reduce water lose.... even if the skimmate is dry, the DOC will be captured at the top of the foam, so it doesn't mean that drier skimmate will be less effective, it looks less but thicker... it think it is like normal shit and LAO SAI....both are all that's in your bowel, just that lao sai dehydrates a person.... PS: i am not tryin to be rude, just that i cannot find better comparison....

breathing very hard seems to be symtom of poor water parameters...care to share your water parameter and tank set up?? shrinking anemone is definitely an unhappy anemone, the clown fish wouldn't have cos the shrinking...

hey joe, i am thinking if u add a outlet in the beckett housing to drain out the water, would the performance me better?? coz i noticed that the beckett while ###### in air, sucks in water as well...but the problem will be that u cannot control the air intake....just an idea...

open house is good...i'll be partying at moh sultan tonight...after that can go to your place....hahahhaa if not before i go party also can....then bring the LS for a night's out....

whao....so much bubbles even with a md40....cool.....

thanks for all the advises...will update more soon....thanks again...
