BFG.. then I'll have to move next to you.. hahahah :> cheers

hmm... thanks for all the inputs.. Pleas keep them coming.. Cos i think it will be good for someone who needs to implement a fail safe aquaria to do a search on thread topic like this rather then having to sift thru individual members tank threads.. REALLY APPRECIATE THE INPUTS GIVEN.... a balance between $$ and robustness of system.. this is what i have in mind from all the advises taken.. This is planned for a 24-hour recovery time. Objective 1. Aquaria to be sustainable for a 24 hour period in times of disaster. The critical cases which i would like to address are as follows: 1. total electrical failure. 2. failure of chilling the aquaria a. Due to failure of chiller unit b. Due to failure of return pump These are the design which i hope will fulfill the cases above: 1. To use 2 electrical points so that equipment electrical loads can be balanced across 2 socket points of 13 amperes. 2. UPS to run from one of the two electrical sockets. This UPS will be used to hook up the 2 X return pump and chiller. (Wonder if UPS can sustain this load for 24 hours). Basically the UPS will only hook up to essential life line of the aquaria - identified as the temp and return flow currently 3. To cut off lights if temp raises beyond 29 degrees (close to my ambient temp). This is to handle the case where chiller failure. Yes.. this means that the temp will hold at ambient temp. This should not be too much of a prob as i will prob be able to get the chiller replaced/repaired within a few days. 4. 2 X return pumps (not to tackle the chiller problem but more to tackle the "what if" return pump fails) to feed the chiller. These will be hooked up to the UPS. both pumps will have a non-return check valve on each line so that should either one fails, then water will still be routed to the chiller rather then the outlet back to the failed pump. Points 1 and 2 will address case 1. point 3 will address case 2a (not preventive but risk mitigation measure) point 4 will address case 2b Any comments from bro.. before the "Project" commences??.. :)

hmm.. also wondering y there are no bro providing links to information out there on the web.. just do not want to "reinvent the wheel".. also to learn from others so that i do not have do "trial n error", which means $$$... hahhhaha

Whoa Bro Tineng how come your temp probe spoil your chiller still runs and chill down?... did you sorta "disable" your chiller's internal thermostat...? cos i will think is the chillers internal thermostat is still running then it would have shut down the chiller yes?

Am thinking of running 2 returns each to a chiller ... the primary chiller will be set at 26.5 while the backup will be set at 27.5.. this could introduce redundancy to prevent a warm fish and coral soup for me at home when things goes wrong (touch wood).. any other idea?

Hi, Yesterday return home to find my chiller power got cut off.. not too sure y.. as a result the tank when up to 32 degrees luckily.. there were no casualty... Just wanna find out how can fail-safe my tank. Hopefully we can compile something like a guide for fellow reefers here. Any pointers or links will be good. Thanks.

WOW... bro cherm, your thread generate lotsa interest man.... maybe you can start a review if you happen to get one.. note: from the above link... sounds like a 2003 technology in aquaria... nevertheless, looks cool... cheers. look forward for your review... :>

hmm.. browse reef depot as advise by Dazza.. search for penductor... its about 49.. looks like a great device.. wonder got any reviews.. ie.. noise, effectiveness, cheaper alternatives.. :>

is it a rotating outlet for your return... used to have it for my nano.. its hydor flo... available at Jireh i think... http://www.completepetmart.biz/163089.html

FOC 2X pyjamas cardinal fish about 1 inches A Bro decomm his tank so took the LS from him so that he can totally shut down. Condition.. both fishes must be taken together... PM if interested. I stay at mountbatten

Looking for replacement AquaBee Needle Wheel Impeller. Or AquaBee 2000 Skimmer input pump. Please PM if interested to sell

normally i'll tune to the neck of the collection cup.. at the level where you can detach the collection cup from the main body... Then let it run in for a few days. you should collect some skimmate... thereafter, depending on how wet/dry you wanna skim, adjust accordingly... Hope this helps.

you an get those electrical trunking from sim lim tower. alternatively, velcro to bunch up the wire will do as well.. cheers.

I've had mine for 2 years.. i had a break for 1 year.. when i restart and fire up my HnS... its went straight to work.. very satisfied... bascially i believe its all in the needle wheel pump... the main housing for the skimmer has got nothing fancy. tuning the skimmer is straight forward by twisting the outlet to restrict flow... one thing to note though is that there is no "drainage" for water outlet. i left mine to flow down (this means splashing).. however this can be easily overcome by placing a filter pad for the water to flow out.. I've stuck on with HnS all these years as i'm happy with performance. This means that I've not much experience to make comparison against other renown brands.. Skimmer i used over the years ---> Weipro --> Macro --> Dymax --> HnS. Hope this helps...
