steady leh...means it's an inverter/charger together.... but is the inverter portion pushing out true sine wave or not? statpower have some true sine wave models that does what you say...charge battery and power device together..but quite expensive i think...their prosine series start around USD2000plus where got carry statpower products in singapore ah go do it and if it works...more of us can follow you and u get kopi treats from us -
not 2 people get cheaper... but go with flubber jie SURE get cheaper

hehe.... bro weileong, yeah...tot of it..those massive truck batteries... but i asked my frens who know a tiny bit about those UPS....the discharging part using the car/truck batteries may not be a problem...but it is the charging part.... coz once the AC is back on, the UPS will not be able to charge the car/truck battery properly and this will cause some problems in the charging circuitry....so better dun spoil the UPS lor...hehe -
yeah.... tat's is a good alternative also.... was supposed to give a review of it but did not know how to quantify the effects properly.... weight to cost definitely better than rowaphos... but cost to performance have to get some bro to do a semi-pro lab style report...lol

er..another point...get the pure sine wave UPS only... i tried normal UPS (modified sine wave) before, the pumps...either eheim, tunze, sicce...all rotate with noise and water output is less than 1/3 of the normal strength... dunno why they are so sensitive to the waveform...but...i have been there and tried it...so dun get the normal types -

and not forgetting the bacteria in the rocks/sand which need the current to bring oxygenated water to them....in a non-circulatory tank....the bacteria take up oxygen around them and soon they do not have oxygren around them and start to die and that's where probably you get a crash when all these start to die and it comes back to depletion of oxygen also and the fishes suffer/stress especially in overstocked tank ...wah liew...whole scary cycle of events may happen.... tat's why i'd buy a diesel generator if i have to -

coz the corals in nature need a never ending blow of current, gentle or strong, to carry waste/slime off them...and without circulation...they suffocate or choke in their waste/slim and this cumulative effect in the whole enclosed tank will be a vicious cycle that rapidly deteriorates the water quality and takes up dissolved oxygen faster than you can imagine.... if its just a FOWLR tank without corals...the effect of no circulation may not be that great.... dunno if i am right or not -

roidan replied to Gouldian's topic in General Reefkeeping_
probably the main reason is the lack of circulation...the livestock and corals can do without lights for a few days in nature during those overcast thunderstorms... but lack of circulation will be a real killer the cheapest way is to get an AC/DC air pump....but it uses air bubbles to circulate the water slowly with battery power once AC is out...not very efficient to move water...and you get lots of salt spray wat i am using is a power back up supply to provide power to my tunze stream...can last only about 5 hours....anything longer...probably have to stir the water myself with a paddle maybe you leave as few appliance operating as possible before you leave home so chances of a trip caused by them will reduce.... but i have experienced a rainy day where a lightning strike took out power in the whole block and had to reset the power box in my unit... -
Ich...damn this parasite
roidan replied to typrobin's topic in Disease treatment/parasite/pest control
if your powder got it in the main tank and you took it out...chances are the main tank has traces of ich parasite also... but at least you have isolated the powder that is affected most to prevent it from becoming a recurrent host for the parasite... if u want to keep it simple....regular water changes will be able to control the load.... -
maybe we can start an Anti-ManU club here The name is called ABU (Anything But United) get enough people next time go to their cafe during their matches and cheer the other team on 1) Roidan 2) Chris 3) kunta 4) freewill 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) more more more
-
tat's why only go there when obviously we have a large number....lol... rather...why not book the whole place for a gathering and then put a big board outside... (Sorry man u fans, please stand outside while we non man u fans are having fun inside in your territory) hehehe..just kidding...

it's the quality of the skimmate, weipro will take longer to produce those dark and dry kinda skimmate...besides..the aquaC will oxygenate the water far better than the weipro
-
i have been through this route... 2x weipro 2014 and then tried aquaC ev240... aquaC is better..get the ev180 instead
