Primitive Art is reputable, but also slightly more expensive compared to other shops. No idea with their tatoo though, only did my piercing there.

up

got it.

Iwarna: Coral shipment just came in, mainly hammers, bubbles. Ah beng: Fish shipment just came in. 1) Purple Tangs 2) Sohal Tangs 3) Yellow Tangs 4) Kole Tangs 5) Chervon Tangs ( 3 pieces ) 6) Achilles Tang ( 4 pieces all SOLD ) 7) Asfur Angel 8) Flame angel 9) True percula 10) Golden butterfly Mai Tu Liao.

Oh, u ordered the tank from Gerald already? Think he's gonna be very busy this month, got at least another 3-4 reefers interested in getting their fish tanks from him.

As long as the ratio is at least 1:1, still consider healthy. Of cuz it wld be better if ur chiller kick in for one hour and stop for 2-3 hours. Bad scenario wld be ur chiller kick in for 4 hours and stop for 1 hour.

Hey guys, do take note that the new LFS at Ericsson is still under renovations. Therefore, there will not be corals or fishes for sale this few days. However, shipment might come in on saturday. Will update accordingly if it does.

Agree with you. Gerald, David, Weeyang are tank makers, therefore the price is definately much lower than wad lfs can offer. Every tank can be customised to every individual's needs. A lot of fellow reefers' tanks are in fact made by Gerald. . such as Deepblue, flubbrina etc. . .

Hi, for the Hailea chiller its set to +/- 1 degrees. The theory that u propose is correct, but take note that the excessive fuctuations in temperature is unhealthy. Eg, imagine u're in a room and the temp keep fluctuating up and down every 2 hours. . The start/stop will not kill the chiller, only ur electrical bills. .

TK, the ratio is 1:1. Kick in for one hour, stop for one hour.

upz.

Got two entrance. one side is the dog one, the other side isnt. Ericsson people sld noe wad. . considering tt they lease out the space. .

Johnny Two Thumbs, most famous already. Can also try primitive art.

Nope i didnt. 27 degrees is fine with me. I dun wan to stress the chiller out.

Any updates? Coral shipment or fish shipment any where?

Instead, i might want to add a calcium reactor. The pro is that on the long run, can save on addictives. Con is the running cost and initial start up cost of the unit, as well as the difficulty in tuning it.

I was toying with the idea of adding a wavebox to minimize deadspots and kinda under the influence of another reefer. However, after some intensive readings, decide to drop the idea, especially since it will shorten the lifespan of my tank. As quoted below from one of the threads i dig: OK, I spent the last couple days at a seminar with Claude and Axel and I took notes and have the full scoop on the wavebox. Here is what we know. The shorter the tank, the faster the frequency. Frequency is fixed by resonance and cannot be adjusted- you can tune the frequency but for alll but the longest tanks only one frequency is effective in prodoucing a wave. In a tank over 2m a double wave is possible, in a tank over 4m a 4x wave is possible. Here are the wave sizes at full power- amplitude can be adjusted on the driver that is common to all Tunze Electronic pumps and does not affect controller function at 100% the following is known dimensions are in cm, F is freq in seconds, w is wave height (crest to trough in mm) 70-50-50 F=.45s W=40 100-70-70 F=.56 W=35 120-70-60 F=.63 W=35 150-100-60 F=.83 W=30 180-100-60 F=.86 W=30 220-80-50 F=1.10 W=25 200-80-65 F=1.15 W=25 Round and Triangular tanks create an elliptical wave pattern. Rock layout and corals effect resonance and adjustments have to be made every feew months to acccomodate coral growth. The Pros of the wavebox are In a 2m tank you can move 100,000l/h of water with 30w of power! The pressure and dynamic of the wave improves permeation in to the rock and sand bed improving bio function Detritus is almost non existant- no dead spots exist Cons On a old tank it could cause algae problems as the detritus and opening of the structure to flow will liberate phosphates and drop redox Tank life is shortened by the dynamic load. We approximate a tank constructed to DIN standards looses 10-20% of it's life when all other assembly and installation is 100% correct. (Unfortunately the US has no standard system like the Deutches Institute Normalization but we can estimate that a well made name brand US tank will have a 15 year life and the wavebox will reduce that to 12 at most if all other instalation is correct-i.e. it is level and properly supported) The flow is not exactly natural, the natural wave would be much longer but given the size of the device and ultimate in energy savings it is the best that can be accomplished and is the most natural flow available to hobbyists. So, the ideal flow system now is two Electronic Streams on opposite ends back corner aimed to the front center glass and operated on interval mode 2 on multicontroller 7095 with changes in pump operation every 6hrs or so. The wave box is coordinated and shuts off at night. This flow is a 50% approximation of what exists in the ocean and the best accomplished yet by any means. Some details for the controller 6091: The unit can run three ways- one box connected to the multicontroller or two boxes independent and run synchronously (same side for bigger tanks) or Inverse where to boxes are run opposite on huge tanks to boost the flow. Maximum freq is 1.4 sec- any longer and the box prodouces bubbles. That is all the info I have and that is direct from Claude Hug the developer and primary tester of the wavebox 6212. __________________ Roger Vitko Tunze USA

Lights perfect for refugim.

Bought this Brand New from Sim Lim Towers. Reson for selling: Miscalculation, not enuff space. Set comes with 3xballast, 3xhalogen bulbs, mounting brackets, plug and play. Selling at $40 now, almost half price and i havent even fired the lights.
