Maybe 20 metres down instead of ft ...... Reefers from RC are stating the placement of such either on the sandbed on deep reefs or partially beneath other corals...... http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.p...threadid=236578

Erhhhh..... Having a digital cam means you are a member in SRC?????? Oh no.... I'm in the wrong place then.....

Is that the same specimen as the weird yellow one that I got??? Mine is app. 18 inches from water surface....

Also check this out?? http://www.splash-sea.co.jp/cgi-bin/shopv2...st.cgi?c_no=31#

Hi Reefers, Been alot of talk recently about these deep water acros ... Heard they are obtained from below 20ft and would therefore require less lightings...... Refer to this thread from RC... http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.p...threadid=226777 and this http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.p...threadid=233161 Am curious as I might have acquired 2 specimens of such and they are definitely not sitting in a position suitable for deep water acroporas...... Any comments....

Redline.... is a portion of a closed loop for the circulation pump... There is a tube running into the loop from a tee off at the bottom right hand.... thats the supply from sump.... Blueline.... is the CO2 feed... the pump is to create a siphoning effect on the CO2 intot he Calcium chamber through positive negative pressure..... The pump would also be used to help break up the CO2 bubbles by the impellor rotation.... Yellowline..... That's the effluent... whatever results from the dissolving of the Calcium media by CO2 in the chamber.... thats goes into the sump.....

The capacitor??..... can we jus connect it direct to the input at 240V and the neutral point?? And you intend to earth the ballast??

Standard flexible tubes sized at 16/22 think its 1/2 inch sizing... the thing in purple..... bubble counter.... to determine the amount of CO2 injected into the reactor by bubble count..... (strange, that thing is suppose to be blue..... must be the Camy.....)

Interesting.... Thanks for the feedback.... Basically I think the the plumbing from thetop of the endcap is the better method... Even if the plumbing came from the sides of the endcaps, the pipe would have to be at least 2-3 " before the top due to the threading on the cap top.... and that would result in CO2 trapping at the cap end..... dun wanna create a bleeding line on the cap for excess CO2 ..... Your idea on a union looks good.... will take into consideration when I DIY a larger Calcium Reactor.... One of the features of the design is the addition of some plastic strainer as seen in the first diagram... stariner labelled as A) and ... This is to prevent media from clogging up the water flow .... clogging should be minimal due to this... Guess to clean up the whole reactor, jus have to turn it upside down and empty it........ and real glad that its a "once in a while" event.........

I actually thought if the 4" screw cap...... however, as the plumbing as shown in the picture is from the top of the cap..... upscrewing the whole cap would actually require the dismantling the tubing and in the process the entire Calcium Reactor.... So stick to the 2" cap ... with the concept of jus to top up with media once they are exhausted.... What is required is to stop the circulation pump and water inlet feed pump, release the pressure with the output and you can upscrew the 2" cap and top up.... plug and play ........no hassle and not much problems with media top up..... Anthony, the materials are cheap.... its the welding that will cost ya... .... but definitely way much cheaper than those retailing outside...... the pump is a Eheim 1064 I think..... 2nd lowest rated pump....

Not unless I can dismantle my reactor and do it again..... Use a little imagination.... you should be able to figure it out.....

Hi reefers... Before you guys go around asking questions on MHs... Check this thread..... I might have asked them before...... http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?...owtopic=34&st=0

Hi Guys... The parts listed are A and B ) Plastic strainer...(most hardware stores have them) C) 13 mm Coupling D) 2 inch thread cap on 4 inch endcap E) 13mm pvc pipe welded into 4 inch endcap (2.5 inches protruding out and 1.5 inches protruding in with a elbow on the inner pipe F) 20 inches long 4 inch diameter Clear PVC.... Main Body And a test run.... And the final working and now running product....

I did that...... But after a while, got really sick and tired... so jus dump everything in...... Hey no joke man washing 15 bags....!!!!!

That's why this forum is a great place........ It had given me a really good headstart..... Thanks for your efforts ...

REEF SPECS!!!! can we carry on from here...?? Pls ignore the last few postings and carry on from there.... we sort of got off topic......

Hi Guys, was going through some previous threads and found one that had me asking some really silly questions about SPS back then.... So like to share it with you new guys keen into such stuff.... http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?...p?showtopic=185 Ehhh..... dun laugh..... some of the postings do look a little dumb on hindsight....

Really good information to leave behind.... Pls add on........

Not so SPS Tank......??

Er hem..... Update this cos you guys might like to do some fragging on your newly acquired specimens from PR..... And all the SPS crazies say........ FRAG YA!!!!!!

Interesting articles there... Jus to let you guys know that I found some purple flatworms lookalike moving around on my Montipora danae from RW previously.... sizing around 2-3 mm..... Didn't wait to see if they pose any harm to my monti as I gave them a Fresh water dip..... Question is that there are critters out there which does pose a serious thread to reefers prized collection of SPS.... and as we add in new specimens, there will be a danger that we might introduce these pests into our reefs unintentionally....... And I dun think many of us practice quarantine here.....

Ehhh.... when did I ever mention a Radium to ya.... Its a Blueline 10kk that so much bluer.........

Hasn't Spidey ordered his new chiller yet????

Thanks Dersuz, Another question, How many EH 111 would be required for the above 3 MHs.... will 1 do jus like yours??

And I think I got the following rather rare stuff from this shipment... 1) Acropora turaki 2) Acropora caroliniana 3) Acropora clathrata Will try to post pics soon.....
