Still available. upz.

Yeah uses this principle. It has a nice cap to open so that water dun overflow out when it is opened. BTW Tunze recommened the use of much less Kalk that what you have. The container is about the same size and the maximum recommended amount is 4 tsp(?).

Is it? It got bubble tips when I got it initially. It was about 2-3 in across then. Base on the description at http://www.wetwebmedia.com/marine/inverts/...oa/anemones.htm I'm quite sure that its not a LTA (Macrodactyla doreensis). Its foot is uniform colour. It does buried itself into sand. The foot is attached under the LR. The ###### disk is smooth also.

hi, My RBTA has outgrown his home. Anyone has a good suggestion on how to reduce its size? Else its up for sale @ $40. I have it for a year. When it is fully expanded its ###### disk is about 12 inches in diameter. PM me to discuss. The pic was just taken half an hour ago.

The best solution is to use a salt with good Mg reading. Since you are starting a new rank I would suggest that you don't worry too much about the level now. It will cost you alot to up Mg to say 1500ppm. Better to make sure that your new tank use a good salt to start on the right step.

Just went to sentosa underwater world and got interesting video of the sea angel (some kind of slug from the polar regions to share). CIMG0445.AVI

The tunze one is worth it very safe and accurate. You just need a pail. All DC very safe also. Tubby etc you still need your own pump and tubing. Aquamarin also sell a auto top up thing maybe you can call and check. http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?...c=40825&hl=auto

Saw tubby ex-stocks at iwarna. Personally I recommend tunze. Check out www.reefdepot.com.sg

The metering pump is 9/12V DC. The tunze controller supply the DC to it.

One thing to look out for is also the siphon effect from the return pump back to the sump when power is lost. That can easily add quite a bit of water to the sump. I had this problem esp since I need to put the outlet almost 2in into the water line of the display to prevent air vortices. I installed drilled a small hole and added a small tube above the water line to break the siphon immediately when power is off.

The pipeing/DIY shop will sell you proper PVC glue for joining PVC pipes.

My system has two housing. The first is for carbon and wool, the DI is in second. What I do now is to use 2 DI cartridges instead. The first housing is a older DI cartridge and the second one a new one. Use low flow to maximise contact time. When TDS no longer read zero I throw away cartridge in housing 1, put cartridge in housing 2 into housing 1 and put a new cartridge into housing 2. This way I seem to maximise the DI cause it looks completly green. I think the key is be patient and use low flow.

hi, I have about 4 small shares of Cheato (take away container) size to give away. Interested can SMS me @ 96635278 before you come. I stay at 157C rivervale cres. First come first serve basis no reserving. If you have, I would appreciate stripe mushroom frags or nassarius snails to swop. If you don't have anything to swop its ok too.

Best if you water proof them. I use plastic wire connector (the kind that has screws) and just block up the holes with blue tack after checking that the connection works.

Someone PM me to show them a connection diagram so I decided to post it here to benefit more people. I feel that my design is the best for people with no experience with electronics. because it uses only DC and would not shock or kill you. You can omit the "force on switch" if you want it to be really simple. No complicated controls, basically the pump turn on when both float switches are turn on. You can use only one float switch if you want. The basic curcuit is just like a torch light (light bulb is the pump and float switch is the switch).. The float switch turns on when the water level falls below it and turns off when water "floats" the plastic ring. I use 1 float switch to set the water level and one float switch much higher above the water as a safety cut off if the first float switch stuck. You need to figure out a good way to mount the float switch. Don't use sucker. In fact the simplest design you just need: 1. 1 or 2 float switches 2. DC low flow rate pump 3. DC adapter suitable for the pump. 4. Wires 1/2 can get brought from Reef Depot.

How much you get your float switch? I paid $18 each from Sim Lim Sq.

I meant the high level cut off. I found that the float switch got it's own damping effect so if you put it at the last compartment in the sump small waves would not affect it. Initially I was worried too because I thought that the pump would be turning on/off very fast. In actual operation it did not happen. My auto top off turn on about 10 sec every hour? I use a fan for cooling hence this is important for the tank. My top float switch is just wire in series and is in the normally closed mode. Its kept dry to reduce problem of sticking and snalis crawling onto it.

Just a comment, Maybe you use the top float switch as a safety cutoff instead of pump cut off then you could save 1 relay. Things like float switches and relays are most prone to failure so It will be good to minise on them. My design is similar except that I use DC pump (tunze metering pump) and there is no cutoff for the topup pail. It also have 2 LED indicators, power switch and a force turn on pump button. The most expensive thing is the pump, float switches and DC adapter. It cost me about 90+ as a complete system (DC power + float switches + pump).

hi, I used this an it is really great stuff! Just wish the adapter is smaller (alot). Their connector seem to be of non standard diameter. I got it with the calcium dispenser kit. The pump is great for DIY top-up too. DC really safe no need for a relay. Its a good if costly buy. Very reliable for me.
