  1. my corals and fishes also not power anyway a sicce wont be able to power the beckett lah, u need a high pressure pump
  2. u never see 2 handful of chaeto in my IOS compartment? piang eh, skimmer nv see , ios also nv see, that day what were u looking at? same as ur son? the red scarlet? lol
  3. actually tap water can, just that it has alot of phosphate and nitrate, so maybe in theory is if u can run a rowa and denitrator on a tub of tapwater for water changes , it be the same as di water??? dun flame me , i'm just thinking anyway i having problems with my phosphate now, cant seem to get it down to below 0.03, always hovering between 0.05 and 0.09 , 4 bottles of 1000ml rowa in 2 months still cant get it down to what i want
  4. u sure u want to use hopar ar? this brand is what causes my old tank to flood because of a power trip caused by it
  5. looks like really gives us excellent reason to use red dragons to cut down on that 24/7 running pump, and reduce to 1 return instead of 2, y wont some1 come out with a affordable led system.
  6. wooohhoo nice, rem to get the mg and ca up to specs and run FR rite from the start to prevent PO4 builtup
  7. upz for fellow rotary machine user, its exactly the same as wavysea, and u can use it to support any flow that ur planning for
  8. bro y now 2.5ht again? if u dun want 2.5ft width then do a 5x2x2, 2.5ht is really tough lah, u come my house and play with my old tank, u will cry when trying to reach the bottom rocks
  9. bro mike, skimmer sold and collected by young potential reefer
  10. well just testing out thats y want to get a old NW , i only thought of this after i sold my H&S, else can use the aquabee for testing, now too late have to get another pump to test
  11. i am currently using gravity feed, just toying with the idea of using a nw pump for even more foam production, skim the hell out of the tank lol
  12. any1 has a old working needlewheel pump for sale? wanna try out using it as a feed pump to my skimmer for double needlewheel action
  13. I'm tinkering with the idea of using a needlewheel pump to feed my re-circulating skimmer so that means more chop up bubbles for maybe better performance? anybody already tried this method? need feedback before i invest into a needlewheel pump, and anyway other then aquabee NW pump, what other cheaper options are there for NW pumps? low heat output is my main concern.
  14. lol thanks bro, i wont ask arti, i ask u to shoot it down, more destructive
  15. currently reserve til tomorow nite, if buyer take fighter jet , will update
  16. as above, no longer using it in sump model, looking at $350neg can pm me or sms me at 97459977
  17. Hi guys, i tested a method that works and can cut ur spending of money on DI resin by almost half, No1;super easy way, just need to turn ur tap on so slightly that the output comes out as slow as possible (think trickle) just abit faster then drops by drops. TDS meter measured 0 when on slow flow, my media was exhausting and when the flow is faster, a steady stream TDS reading was around 10, maybe slow flow gives it more time to react with the media? dun really know why No2; the normal method of changing resin media would be to change all 3 canister which is what i did previously, then i tried to see how much a single resin catridge will last me on the slow flow method so i changed only 1, and to my surprise it lasted me 4 water changes of slightly less then 100l , total of almost 400l, compared to my previous method which will last the same amount of water with 2 brand new media but do note that carbon need to be change at same frequency of around 400l per change. and remember to mark ur old resin cartridge that you last change so u dont change that 1 out when renewing resins hope it can help u guys save some money here, any new findings can post here so we can all benefit. btw tests are done on a crystal pro di unit, dont think it will work on ro/di as they require pressure to run
  18. lol looks like not as many ppl as crazy over chevron as u and me, upz for a nice pretty fish
  19. i know of some1, rite solo??
  20. good advise ah siang, i'm sure the word atlantis triggered something in u
  21. is that a weipro skimmer they installed in ur old system? looks like they have alot of profit for building this
  22. can keep for as long as u like so long as u keep it dark and aerated 24/7, but anyway i do either weekly or bi weekly water changes depending on mood so 2 weeks is the max they are kept
