1 cm u mean hehehe

nice sunburst.. i got mine today also....3 of them i fed mine cyclopeeze before setting them free into the tank.....

actually want to put this under marine equipment review..but firstly...dunno how to review properly, secondly, how to justify if this indeed eradicate parasites or not...hehe so just post in here lor

the philips 36w UV tube

now comes the real deal..the 12x spiralling

the quartz sleeve

will be using a eheim 1250 to push water...its max flow is 1200l/hr at zero head....with hose and some head loss, hahaa...parasites...HERE I COME...with the UV LIGHT SABRE

from the diagram...if you push only 290gallons per hour of water pass this UV sterilizer, u can get rid of parasites.... if you increase the flow rate, effective UC energy will drop and parasite killing power will drop..but you will still kill algae spores at 680 gph and futher down the flow, kill bacteria at 1550gph

let the pictures do the talking

the ich parasite very prevalent these days...and i think i want to safeguard my stuff in my system as much as i can..thus i went to buy this today.... The twists and turns ensure the water so not just go in and flow out fast like normal UV sterilizers..they have to spiral around the chamber..thuse more exposure time... and i plan to intake water in the sump from the area where the overflow discharges water and then send the processed water just in front of the intake of my skimmer pump, i think this will enable the skimmer to skim out the dead parasites, algae and what not.... and since the water is not drawn from the refugium area....the microlife in there will still be sent to the main tank....isolated from the UV system....

havent leh bro..hehe din go aquamart today

yeah....the nicest one i never buy angels...even though some are reefsafe, do not want to take a chance No angels in my tank

no lah..far from seahorse's standard..hehe

congrats bro! keep up the good work....can't wait to see your stocked tank

actually since this chevron will turn black..no point getting another black tang ..tat's what i think for now...unless i cant resist..LOL actually all tangs will have the tendency to fight when first introduced...but it's really up to fate whether they do get along....but since its still small, i will keep it in my clam tank to monitor it and if no ich or mortality after some time, when i feel that it is strong enough to fend for itself in the main tank, then i transfer over...

another pic... but this tang if the bristletooth mouth damaged, it will not eat well and then die....of (bad mouth)..... and these days ich more prevalent in livestock than 2 years ago when i started this hobby..... i dare not hope much to see the whole colour morph

i think this is the final black colour

morphing

some pics off the net....to show the colour change

it will turn blackish green with whitish silver fine lines.... and the best part is that it will change and change ...as it grows...in stages..hehe seems that it is the tang with the most drastic colour change from juvenile to adult

not a bomb lah...much cheaper than a black tang

sad to say my quarantine tanks have other stuff inside..and i dun want to risk this genna whack or something...so put in my clam tank and monitor lor.... but i saw it scraping its mouth on the walls of the glass..so i guess its pretty fine in there with no tangs terrorizing it..hehe and..it's not angel bro....

in fact..i think for the next few weeks or months...expect more fishes than corals shipments...

as i say..nearest to you may be the elias mall flea mart....2nd level...but may not have the size but i think most will say hai cheong at paya ubi will have the most range of fittings to fit this gate valve....
