when running 2 skimmers at the same time, the more efficient skimmer will skim most of the things and the other left redundant...dun ask me y, i also dunno...hahaha...if not,only the one tat is in the best position will skim, the other will not...
but i certainly have witness this happening before...
skimmer 1: H&S (the big model)
skimmer 2: alvyfoamer 648
skimmer 3: DIY spray injector
H&S was positioned nearest to the overflow, skimmed the best...alvyfoamer and spray injector were clean after 2weeks...
but once the H&S is off, the alvyfoamer started skimming and the spray injector still clean...
alvyfoamer and H&S off, then the spray injector started...
i cannot say that alvyfoamer is lousier than H&S.. in fact, at that point of time, alvyfoamer was one of the BESTEST skimmer in SRC, if not at least on par with H&S...
what's so surprising about this? the one nearest the overflow benefits from skimming the dirtiest water. the rest are re-skimming the cleaner water that comes out of the first skimmer, of course they will not foam. that's why using several skimmers in series is IMHO not going to help much.

get a sump. definitely. even if its just a small one. don't be like me as well, get a tank without an outlet hole. that means that all the equipment you want must hang in the tank, not only ugly but also means what you can do is limited.
a sump allows you to put all your equipment in, out of sight, and makes maintenance easier. it increases your water volume so that parameters are more stable, and can be where you do nutrient export or keep things that cannot go into your main tank (e.g. non-reef safe things).
plus, you don't have to commit to a big sump at the beginning. even a small one will do. the point is, as long as water runs out of your tank into the sump, you can change the size of your sump in future and add more equipment without having to reset your entire tank.

heh just kidding AT!
yeah in recent times the email spoofing viruses are very irritating because you never know who really was the infected party who sent you the mail so you can't ask them to clean their PCs. People have told me that I sent them a virused email but I definitely didnt as my email programme is so low-tech (eudora light) that viruses can't take it over!

hard to tell without more details...
how big your tank? what 4 fishes? size of the fishes? current tank inhabitants? etc.
you could have overstocked too quickly and the toxins built up quicker than your tank can handle...
-
bro you're the guy with the 2m tank in jogjakarta issit? no wonder your water volume so big! you really should upgrade skimmer. v important.

eee, AT sending viruses to us. Must be for posts like JustinK's playboy calendar

hi, sorry if i want put some LFS at my tank with my T5, is it good ?
you mean LS not LFS yes? don't think you want to put a whole fish shop into your tank
T5s are ok for normal livestock. Lighting is not really an issue for anything but corals and plants.

think you have to put rowas in a bag if it is not in an FR otherwise the stuff will fly all over the place and get trapped in rocks etc. you do not want that because once the rowas gets saturated with phosphates, you have to remove it otherwise it will leach the phosphates back into the water which is worse.
because of this, people use FR because rowas in a bag tends to be inefficient in absorbing phosphates (the rowas deeper in the bag do not come into contact with the water) and detritus builds up on the bag which adds to your nitrate problems. The FR keeps water flowing through all the rowas at a steady rate and allows effective and efficient absorption.
Don't think you can get 1litre of rowas for $60 unless it is a special discount.
For customised FR you might want to enquire with our sponsor Reef Maniacs, they make this. A powerhead is generally needed but you can also T-off from an existing return or something.

goto www.vpost.com.sg to check it out. BTW $54 is with about $10 shipping (shared by 4 books total shipping about S$40).
Basically the way it work is that after you sign up with vpost, buy the books from amazon and take advantage of the free local shipping offer. Vpost has a forwarder in address in USA, you send the parcel there. They will forward it to you in singapore. My experience is that if they got it by friday singapore time then you should be able to get it by wednesday the following week.
This should work for other online vender accepting credit cards with singapore billing address too, I never tried others before though.
hmmm must go check this vpost out. sounds good. amazon shipping quite ex. -
where are you getting all these awful pics bro... don't tell me you are the one actually taking them live!!!
looks like i won't be drinking 7-Up for a long long time loh...

no need to know the difference one.. u go to any shop, and ask the price of a clown, if less then $5 it's a fake if not it's a true
if the shop bluff.. then blacklisted
anyway.....
pegasus is right, more black around the center and also it's usually in a brighter shade of orange, provided the fish is healthy..
you can also look at the way the clowns are placed in the LFS. you can generally put a lot of false clowns together in one small tank safely, but you won't find perculas in any number larger than 2 cos they will fight.

Remove all LS and introduce a crack SE MH bulb for 48hrs..........the UV will kill all the hair algaes,diatoms and cyano..........

not to mention most of the other life in the tank -

If you go RC and see the meaning of tang police den you will know Tang police duty is to arrest those who keep many tangs in a tiny aquarium
thats why my 3 feet dun have any tangs
Though AT once mentioned that there isn't an official SRC tang police

not sure what you're referring to. can post a pic?
-
I agree. Interesting idea but the result is that you have to maintain the parameters of a large tank (becos the water flows through) while limiting yourself to a very small area for corals. Lighting, temperature, chemicals etc will have to be done as per a large tank which is not worth it for a small reef.
1/2' footprint for skimmer might not be enough for a 4.5' tank as well.

orh ok. that sounds horrible. thanks man!
-
yeah i think the tomato clown is not advisable with so many other clowns in the tank.

Justin, you are officially no longer my friend. And once I get discharged from the eye clinic I will go over to your house and drown you in your 2' tank.
X-Box or PS2

you buying for daughter i think PS2 games would be more to her liking. xbox tends to have more guy-oriented games like FPS and car simulations.
GAME AND WATCH RULEZ ALL! GO DONKEY KONG!!
