i tot you said u had marine-keeping friends guiding you step-by-step? they didn't tell you about cycling or you were impatient? in my experience, not cycling tank properly is gonna be scary and problematic...careful...

can buy from henry one...confirm...i bought from him before. just tell him to reserve for you

agree with flying carpet...THERE'S NO FREE LUNCH i come from a business family, almost my entire generation is in business and i can pretty much tell you capital is HUGE, and its gonna be VERY tough...u'll practically have no more time for anything else except your business...and its very heart pain when you pump in so much effort only to see that you make loss or profit is marginal in the first few yrs. and if this business is in singapore, i urge you to think twice...singapore market is very small and already very saturated...don't be expecting 7000% returns...its almost impossible. and i also got bitten like flying carpet just last yr...and i can pretty much assure you these people who sweet talk big profits in short amts of time are VERY smooth talkers who can brain wash you well...so beware remember...NO FREE LUNCH!

since you saw them at his tank...why didn't you ask him what they were and how much they would cost?

upz

i advice you don't buy anemone...recipe for disaster in my opinion. many keep clown without anemone. and my clown digs just like yours...just let it be saw that you added damsel.... ...beware of these notorious "gangsters"...soon you will see their true colours... don't mind i ask u did you cycle your tank?....has your tank gone through the ANN or ammonia, nitrite and nitrate cycle?

been getting some advice from friendly reefers about the pricing will lower to $120/- as according to advice

i think singapore sells quite ex iwaki? but i heard iwaki in hk much cheaper...some take budget airline over and buy iwaki and still save compared to buying in singapore!

my equipment not much but here's my input 1)beckett 2)pinpt ph monitor (no longer need to guess what colour is on the ph kit and monitoring can be done 24hrs with a glance of the eye) 3)Tubby Auto water top up (no longer need to worry about tank's salinity) 4)german analogue timer for lights (german stuff power man!) 5)eheim 1262 (simply powerful and quiet) 6)Joe P's FR (so easy to change rowa...when i used resun, had to screw it so tight or it'll leak because of absense of rubber seal) 7)Mh lights (shimmering and simply bright) 8)Korallin Ca R (although still tuning, i believe it'll make my life so much easier after properly tuned)

hi hii, i think you've mistook the model for smaller models like 2213/2215 because i've just checked with one of the sponsers of our forum and my 2217 is retailing at 170/- without the taps. i've also confirmed that it came with 2yrs warranty so the warranty is good for at least another year from now. here're the specs from the eheim website for those interested for tank size up to 600l Pump output 1000l/h Filter circulation 790l/h Filter volume 6l Power consumption 20 W Dimentions approx. mm 205 x 400 for extremely sincere buyers, can pm me for slight negotiation off from 150/- upzz

thanks for the input hii i will go and check and see if i made a mistake will update again. thanks!

received pm from sincere buyers but price was really below expected. i'm looking at 150/- issit too high? would appreciate feedback sales still on. upzz

the reactor comes with the original valve to control flow at the outlet...but frankly, turn little bit only and you get a drastic change in drip rate thanks for the tip on teeing off from the return pump but for now i'm trying out gravity feed from main tank which has much greater head pressure. will see if lack of pressure was what was giving me ph problem

wa! great weileong, i get it i'll try and pressurise the Ca R and see how things go will come back if i still face problems thanks!

i've read that article before..good one if you mean whether it gets a flow through the reactor, then yes it works. also, see pt 9 in http://www.eaquanature.com/store/product_i...products_id=771 but if you're asking if this method makes the reactor work as it should, then no... and that's the reason for this thread. can i ask once again regarding the matter of higher pressure in the reactor in relation to the solubility of the co2 gas? is there a relationship between the 2? cos last i asked another reefer, he did give a slight mention on this matter

not to mention now so many chiobus all ######....zzz...meet dream girl to marry also cannot...

gunzo, cycling period does vary to a certain extent from tank to tank no one can tell u for sure how long yours will take. so be sure to use test kits to be sure. once you're sure cycling is over...i would recommend letting the tank run for a week first before you start stocking up...just to gif the system time to settle in

women not same as before leaw. more and more out to play just as much as men maybe that's why some go for vietnam wife?

suitable for freshwater and marine applications upzzzz

i'm pretty sure the bubbles trapped are not air as i flushed the CR well and also ecause i dislodge them and they form again, and if i don't dislodge them, they grow even bigger and more in numbers... i believe my CR is airtight because there are no water leaks. but as to whether there is pressure or not, i believe don't have pressure...because i use gravity feed with little head-pressure as shown below. input 2nd compartment (green), output to third (red). patrick123, you seem to imply that the co2 dissolves better under pressure? can clarify with me this pt? i used low pressure head cos i figured the drip rate is not fast

yup! u understand me! in my case, to record free to view channel, you simply set the recorder to searching for ch5 from signal Y. for my phillips recorder, is pretty much like the tv...it has an inbuilt tuner...and can set "channels" pretty much like the tv as well, i'm not too sure if this function is on other brands so if i wana record ch5, simply switch to the channel in which ch5 was preset on the recorder, then continue viewing scv from your tv which is receiving signal X. phew...think i've said enough of this topic...signing off now!

i'm using D-D pinwheel regulator http://www.eaquanature.com/store/product_i...roducts_id=1034 i heard its good? that's what the previous owner told me...yes...i bought the reactor and valve 2nd hand actually, i read on RC that the pressure in the co2 bottle should read 950psi or at least 60bars. mine is only 40bars...would that be the reason for the inconsistent bubble count?

hi thanks i just checked and i see a blue sponge at the bottom...not sure if that's the problem though oh, i've also noticed that there are bubbles of co2 forming in the cavities between ARM particles...and when i knock the CR alittle, the bubbles get dislodged and float up to the top and join the other excess co2. does this information help in narrowing down the problem? one more issue, the bubble coming from the counter seems to be not of consistent size and timing...sometimes, within a span of 10s, i get 3 bubbles, sometimes, within the same time span...no bubbles....and sometimes the bubbles are big...sometimes they're just so small...can anyone assist on this issue?

definitely fresh solutions weileong. i used only the ones that came with the pinpt monitor...one is pinpt ph7 and the other ph4

i read from one of the threads in RC that 1 hr is ok...so some measurements were taken only 2-3hrs after tuning.sorry about that mistake but i'm sure the 3rd and 4th readings were taken at least 12 hrs after the tuning was done (overnight and after coming back from work) and since there's already excess co2 building up, would you still advice me to up the co2 count weileong as the ph is at 7.3?
