  1. nice...should go take a look someday....i believe they have a better spread than ur MH .
  2. maybe u share the lobang to get at 220. save the trouble....everyone benefit lor.......
  3. well, i like to see ur fixture next week.....maybe u need to beg the supplier to do it for u. we see lor....
  4. DE lah bro.......250watts DE with spider reflectors
  5. than why wait ......let me work on something. yes, im not saying that the reflectors are not shinning... but there are better grade mirror finish material that can be used for better reflection. give me 2 weeks n i will come out with mine... maybe the selling price will be slightly above sgd200.....will that be attractive enough?? anyone keen?
  6. hi bro, i have even check on the glass quality of the reef optix....they are using a 3mm tempered glass.... u bought so cheap?? how come my this unit it sgd300?? have u include freight? yes, the reflectors are easy to make....can do an exact shape n size. but i find the quality of the reflectors are very poor. there are better grade reflectors in the market. the reef optix ones are not that shiny....this is what i observe
  7. u should be having the best beckett in the market rite now.....have not seen better. Unless someone want to built those like in coral farms
  8. indeed the DE fixture comes with a spider reflector.....and the reflectors have a large spread. a good design to copy... stay tune
  9. hi bros, how much u paid for it??? well......i also seen that the reflectors are good. well, the fixture is not hard to make... making some soon....i like the reflectors but i find the housing can be inproved maybe bundle with eballast... here 1 at my home... copy...
  10. so will it be a t5 setup or MH??? i always like partition tank....
  11. alrite man.........cool stuff. btw, 2 tubes wont be sufficient...u need atleast 2 more....... the more the merrier
  12. best lightings for refugium is 6.5k spectrum as its good for growth. the number of watts required is depending on how big ur refugium is. if u can afford it, you can use 2x24watts t5 with a 6.5kk tubes. that will definate promote growth to your micro algaes. PL tubes run abit hot compare to t5....... my 2 cents worth
  13. actually the color blend is very nice.....not to blue not to white...if u think its too blue, u should use 3 white n just 1 blue... cheers
  14. hi bro, a MH bulb can last atleast 1 yr before it looses its intensity....but for t5, most reefers replace them after 6 mths of firing and also that depends on the number of hrs running. well, diy MH setup are definately cheaper than 6-8 t5s. btw, the cost of 80watts t5 are expensive...so do the tubes... if i were u, i run 2x250watts with 2 t5 suppliment..... or maybe 3x250watts to have a good spread...
  15. hi bro, not necessary to run 2x400watts......u can run 2x250watts with maybe 2 t5 actinic suppliment. u only run 400watts unless u are going for full sps..... t5s are ok but u need a shallow tank...t5 are higher running cost compare to MH. u must also think of the bulbs replacement etc... my 2 cents worth
  16. wow.....sure gonna be nice.....got house warming or not?
  17. all the best for your sales....esp on your new t5 setup...
  18. are u refering to MH??? if yes, MH component consist of 3 items. magnetic ballast, ignitor, capacitor. If all this are wired and place in a housing, than it will call a MH control gear. When they mention remote, it should meant external. Eballast = Electronic ballast which will not have any of the above mention. They are more costly and run much cooler.... hope this is clear
  19. there are pro and cons for using both bulbs. As for DE bulbs are more expensive than the SE bulbs. I think find SE bulbs have more choices and for those who intend to diy, the best is still the SE bulbs. SE bulbs do not require UV glass but, when you get a SE fixture, they tend to be rather big compare to DE fixtures. As for me, im using DE bulbs but i still find most DE fixture does not come with a good reflectors. So it will not have a good spread. I may be wrong... for a cheaper alternative and value for $$, i still find SE are better.... my 2 cents..
  20. alamak...must stay away...me got evil too..
  21. maybe we can mould it......should be able to do it..... btw, even if they have, are u guys willing to pay??? if im not wrong, the aquabee needlewheel cost sgd100.....
  22. hi bro, i got all the stuff u mention...maybe u can shop at my place.... pm me lah
