  1. So does it mean that if i tee off from my return pump, there will be two water flow from the return pump? One linking to my chiller and one back to the main tank? So it means that there will be two flows now? one is return pump ---> chiller ---> sump and the other return pump --> to main tank? Instead of the one i suggest which is return pump --> chiller---> to main tank? If this is the case right? I am using a CL 650 and my tank is 3x2x2( my sump is roughly 1.5 m below my main tank). What flow rate pump will be recommended for this set up? Thanks!
  2. Hi, I was thinking of connecting my return pump from my sump to the chiller then from there back to my main tank. Would it be advisable? Currently i have a Resun Cl650. It says it needs a min pump of 1800 l/h to run it. However if i were to connect the my return pump to the chiller then back to the main tank, should i use a more powerful flow rate pump? If so, how strong should the flow rate be? Pls advice. Thanks
  3. Hey Siao Kia, My diatom problem lasted about 5 months! it was until i added rowaphos into my system that the problem went away. Maybe you can consider getting rowaphos to stop these algae growth.
  4. How did ya get so far? tried 5 times and all about 60 something..
  5. oh thanks! then where can i get these things?
  6. paisay, a bit suaku..... can anyone tell me where to get eggcrates...... actually dun even know what they look like.
  7. pasar ole ole tour is like a mini ghost town. Not a lot of pple there, but there's some provision shops there to stock up your food/drinks supply. The food there is rather normal ( like $3 for a plate of mee goreng?). They do accept SGD there. Just go there to enjoy yourself at the resort and enjoy the facilities over there. Maybe some water sports. It's definitely a relaxing place...
  8. I'm new too. I was advised by some of the reefers to go straight to MH instead of buying some other lightings and eventually leading back to buying MH. I never regretted it as all the corals have been opening much prettier after installing the MH lights. So maybe you should just go straight into MH. You wont regret it! But if heat is an issue, T5 will be great too. Good Luck with ya new tank!
  9. had the training for the parade last year, after eating kfc week in week out...and nto able to enjoy my sat for abt 3 months.. i rather give it a miss if i have to go for one again...
  10. Is mechanical filtration redundent in the sump? So we just use bio filtration? Then how do we remove debris? The LRs 'eat' them up?
  11. clown, 8" of DSB+ 30 kg of LRs in the sump , how big is your main tank? den how deep is the sand in your main tank?
  12. BTW, to all the reefers that has sumps. Care to show some pics? Would be greatly appreciated. Thank You
  13. Been to some LFS and saw their sump. Some of them actually place LRs in their sump. Will it work better den coral chips? Rockfish, so your whole sump just consist of DSB, skimmer, and return pump? nothing else?
  14. If all means of mechanical filtration will trap the food and dirt , is it advisable not to put any sponge or coral chips in my sump? On the other hand, if there's no mechanical filtration, then what's gonna trap all the dirt? The tank will be dirty~ Any advice? By feeding less will bring down the nitrate level, my 2 cents worth.
  15. Hi, I was wondering, other then putting my Fuge , skimmer and return pump, what more should i put in my 2ft sump? Read from some thread that it's not advisable to put sponge or bio balls as unwanted bacteria might be traped in there. So what should i put? Pls advice. Thanks
  16. Hi, looking for one of the above skimmers at a reasonable price. Pls PM me.
  17. Can pm me the price? Is it suitable for a 3ft tank?
  18. Pmed you! another thing. Is it noisy?
  19. oh yah, that will save a lot of money. Thanks. But i thought it's good to have lots of LRs, it acts as a 'bio filter'?
  20. Sorry, i don't know if i post this tread at the right place, but i would like to ask if any LFS has a wide range of 3 ft tanks that i can go view? Has been thinking about purchasing a new tank, but i don't really know where to go. Please advice.
  21. Is there a webby i can refer to on the different types of scaping i can place my rocks? 1pound/gal. ok sure! Thanks!
  22. oh okie. So roughly about 60kg of LRs will do just fine right? Thanks!
