Teco TW6 cost more than 2k.......now RA680 is an old model Titanium Chiller T1.25HP cost few hundred dollars cheaper.... but teco is less than 1h/p...

yap...i got there at $6 too...........

hi bro, dont forget me huh..........

should be rock anemones...i find them nuisance....

hi regal, 1/2 horse can support? are u using MH too?? btw, what the model of ur chiller?

good luck.... prepare to loose some LS

best is to mount on wood or aluminium casings.......

hi golden tooth, nice setup.......... i also got my new tank recently too...... by looking at ur setup, its not possible for u to mount those SE MH.....as the hood is too close to the water level.....unless u make a new hood. what i suggest that, u remove the top hood cover (can keep in the store room). DIY the MH like mine to sit on top of the tank bracing. raise the MH about 8-10 inches above the water level using aluminium stand. 2x150watt would be nice............ for ur setup...... unless u want to go for SPS.

im using ra680. indeed a good chiller and happy with it.

spider into SPS.......

spider always cannot make up his mind.............

u got pm........

ur 3ft tank, go for 1260..... im using it for my 4ft tank

hmm......as for me, i got it as a set.....to get individual UV glass, than im not sure. its best you get a new set that somes with the protective UV glass. as for mine, the set cost @ SGD30 (reflector, holder, UV glass).

hi fireclown, the only problem is the casing.......... i see what i can do....

hi guys, have the above for sale. 6mths old but had thrown away the bulb. Bought at $140 but selling at $50 without the 9watt UV bulb. sms me if interested 97525051

Hi golden tooth, why not........what bros are for.........

Hi Aug, upgrading huh..........dont forget to invite when the new tank arrive.... so whats ur plan for the migration??

Hi CM, Thanks for the compliments................. i ever thought of getting those ready made ones but when thinking of the cost...... , makes me think twice... futher more, the MH set is made from italy.......he he he . Sad thing is, all my equipment are ready except for my tank.....

Hi Fireclown, I dont get what u mean? "long term wise, will there be any difference?" as where to get the set, i had ready mention it........... good luck............

juvenile unicorns look damn cute.......... DB, still stocking.............he he heh

hoppinghippo, The UV glass comes with the MH light set. As for DE MH, please get those that comes with the UV glass. U will save on the headache later. clowntrigger As for the MH set, u can get the item at SLT, kelantan lane etc. but u need to do the wiring urself. As for the casing, u need hunt for it urself................ but it will be hard. Razo, DE bulbs comes in alot of brands......it ranges from $50-$150. Depending on your requirement. But for me, im thinking of buying the BLV 10k bulbs. Was told that PR is selling $110 ea. Fireclown, To DIY DE or SE, it depends on ur liking and ur tank setup. SE are easier to DIY and do not need UV glass protection..

it comes with a set.......

hi guys, i manage to finish DIYing my 2 x 150watt DE MH. The tough part was finding a suitable FL casing to mount the MH. If not for a reefer (u know who u are ) who sold me the casing, i would had abort this idea. Till now, still trying to hunt for the casing........... . Just wanna know where to purchase it. All the parts are in aluminium so that it will not be so hot. I had made a stand for it to sit on the tank.....replica of azoo or weipro (but dont look as good) . But after finishing, the outlook is still pleasant to the eye......... holes are drilled on the side casing for ventilations as it is hot during operations. the MH gear is placed external so that the lights that is resting on the tank will be lighter and will not add additional heat. total DIY cost not including the bulbs is @ $280-300. Not to mention the cost of running around to get the parts.
