where you stay bro? Happy Reefing, Marc J.

hahaha, no problem. Lets chiong for some zoas firstt then. I also need to restock once my scape and toys are settled (: Happy Reefing, Marc J.

I don't think there's a recommended size for the drillbit to fit any GF piping. Most of the time what I see is that you need to remod your female/male connector to fit the GF piping instead of the drillbit size to fit the GF piping. I can be wrong on this, just sharing my thoughts (: Happy Reefing, Marc J.

Oh haha I see, okay luh. but you better hurry Xiao Mei to do it because if I find a gem in GO, I can just tompang in your tank for a while! How does that sounds? teehee Happy Reefing, Marc J.

haha wrong! that was someone else. I was in a brown teeshirt I think haha (: Happy Reefing, Marc J.

I'm glad you made the right choice bro. haha (: Hope to see the tank soon! or maybe I'll drop by Atlantis and take a peek? heh Happy Reefing, Marc J.

were you with your gf? haha I was at Irwana too Bro. peacemaker: Sorry that I left without saying goodbye. GF calls so had to better run before the wrath comes over my head! :X haha. Happy Reefing, Marc J.

Bro, why not ask our LFSs for styrofoam boxes? It works out to be more or less the same (: Happy Reefing, Marc J.

Oh I see okayys. Guess wait and see how luh (: Nonetheless, sweet tank! Happy Reefing, Marc J.

Yeap. is that part of the final plans? (: Happy Reefing, Marc J.

Bro, what other wavemakers are you getting? I see potential dead spots around lehh Happy Reefing, Marc J.

Bro, are you going to do a partition to cover up your pipes, eos etc? if you are, I don't see why cannot go for 3x3 luh. if buay sai, then go 2.5 luh. Still better than nothing right. still have the depth by the 2.5 ft (: Happy Reefing, Marc J.

UPS for you bro!

SWEET! Go for 3x3x1.5 then! Damnit. How I wish my mum is like yours! :S Happy Reefing, Marc J.

I suggest you draw up a detailed plan and decide how you want the cabinet to be. After that then decide whether you want the chiller to be inside or outside. And talking about using your air con as the chiller, you will be surprised actually that not all air-conditioned compressors are able to be utilise or split into aquarium and household usage. This information was told to me by a Daikin technician but I have forgotten which unit of Daikin's compressors is unable to do so; forgotten if it's Inverter or the normal one (: So word of advice is to check out your air con first before making the next step (: Just to share; for myself, I am using a 1/3 horsepower chiller for my 3footer. Crazy as it sounds but it gives me some kind of assurance that if my lights are hot, at least my tank is surviving. And of course, a temperature controller is a must in case the chiller fails and all starts to fall apart because of that. But if nothing fails and with taking all your equipments into account, a good sized chiller is a worthwhile investment. In short, I 'kia si'! haha Also, I think in the air-con industry, you can still find 1/2, 3/4 and perhaps 1/3 hp Japanese or Korean air-con compressors in the market for you to DIY into an aquarium chiller (info fed by the same Daikin technician). I guess you must know where to look. Industrial estates are great starting points. Similarly, getting such chillers from the market directly the price is definitely cheaper than a 1hp artica or from other sources who may be a middle man for the job. So I suggest bro that you take some time to travel around and look see look see. I know somewhere near Bukit Batok there's such a shop. If you stay in the west, you can let me know and I can tell you where the place. Offhand, I suddenly cannot remember the building's name :X (really getting old :S) Finally, starting a new tank is great! exciting and fun but do take alot of time into the planning. It may not end up as something perfect, but hopefully it lives up to your expectation. Happy Reefing, Marc J.

You stay in One Sentosa Cove? Happy Reefing, Marc J.

For me, bigger the better. if otherwise, I will go for 1". Happy Reefing, Marc J.

WOOT! Ed Reef is Singaporean!? I thought he is an American! :X Happy Reefing, Marc J.

well yeap, that's kinda true. A long and narrow tank is hard to give the depth or minimalist touch. So way to go zorden! Keep it up! I'm WATCHING! *grins Happy Reefing, Marc J.

Nice to see you still in the hobby man! haha (: marc j.

WOW! Specs so big! I also want! Happy Reefing, Marc J.

I see, no lahh, I think 2ft and beyond should be able to get the minimalist touch (: and perhaps you can consider like Chingchai's tank? do without overflow box; just holes and pipings? (: Marc J.

I can vouch this for Atlantis. Xiao Mei's quotations are always very reasonable if not, damn competitive! I ever got quoted for a 1.5 ft cube with normal IOS for $120. At Atlantis, it was for $56! However, I have also heard from my friend saying his tank alone is about $9 more from Atlantis than from Ah Beng. So like I said, damn competitive! (: Nice tank zorden! Keep it up! I love Ed's Reef and minimalist aquascaping. cannot wait to see what you can do with this tank! Happy Reefing, Marc J.

Nope bro. those are not apitasias! They are some other things. Certainly not apitasia (: Marc J.

TEMPTING A TANKLESS BOY! lol. Happy Reefing, Marc J. aka. Zen
