  1. not say good or no good lah....its nice...but waste calcium/alk that would have gone to the corals....end up we have to increase cal/alk by increasing CR output or powders... just that in comparison to other nuisance algae..definitely coraline algae is better
  2. i have other hues growing on my tunzes even.... waste of calcium/alk
  3. many reefers also face such coco worms spawning also... last time i also excited as first time i see such thing...now..*yawn*
  4. green is one of the colours lor..especially if it is hard to remove....but i dun like..always scrape them off....
  5. yeah...they are spawning...means calcium and alk will go down super fast as little worms build their shells..haha
  6. i think the H&S one got 3....nowhere near the 6 pumps
  7. i think your chihuahua is quite rude to have his......ermerm...pointing straight at us... get him a pair of boxers will you?
  8. coz i read "money no object" mah...hehehe i'll buy this skimmer when i have a 12ft next time man.... i guess this deltec skimmer is one of the best of the best liao...wait a minute...i kinda remember there is still one higher model than this ..i dun think we need to know lah...really out of our reach to pay this kinda price for a skimmer
  9. yeah.... one of his last few projects....he is considered *retired* status in DIY liao.... he got more important priorities in life to work on now, simply doesn't have the time to do such things anymore
  10. oic... tat's the base of my DIY calcium reactor... really well made i must say
  11. when you mean welding...do u mean this kinda joints?
  12. go to UC Berkeley.... not only it's a good place for education, you can also get William Hung to sign autographs
  13. yeah....not any tom, dick or harry can do such welding i guess... definitely not many of us here....just a handful i guess
  14. this one much nicer shot... wat u think bro deepblue?
  15. rare shot of one of my sunbursts swimming in open
  16. tats true..i forgot... it uses a curved joint inside the cylinder and also a curved one outside.......just like the one my H&S uses to attach the needlewheel pump u are right, not easy to make or get here i think
  17. actually by drilling the cylinder itself at the bottom, above the box, to input the beckett driven water, will definitely minimise the problem....u will lose one or 2 inch of reaction height since u start higher now...but i think for a tall skimmer like yours...the benefits outweigh the loss of the 2 inch reaction height and the box will have water with much less microbubbles to return to the sump.... something like the position below...and then do the swirling angle just like what u have now...should reduce alot of microbubbles at the box below...
  18. definitely.....given 2 similar skimmers..one shorter...one taller...the taller definitely more reaction time and draw more waste out
  19. nothing interesting already... same old thing every day.... no point taking pics of the same schooling event everyday also... not buying anymore fish meanwhile, so just maintain wat i have now
  20. think very hard to see water level coz all filled with foam....probably adjust the gate valve till u see the foam build up to a level that u want...and then wait for it to foam over into the cup with all the wastes
