Hi Sherman, Any place in specific? I have been to many hardware shops and all of them look at it strangely and shake their heads... have yet to come across any hardware shop that have (make sense right? else won't be asking this question here... ) Regards... Raiden

Hi, Wonder if anyone know where to get this type of plastic screw (as attached) - your advice is grealy appreciated. Thanx. Regards Raiden

Hi, Am looking for the Micro Algae Grower for culturing Phytoplankton but was not able to find it at Reborn (the last time I bought it from there). Wonder anyone here know where to get it? Wonder if there is any replacement for Micro Algae Grower? Am thinking of using those Live Plankton sold at Pasir Ris fish farm as the starting culture - wonder if this is viable or are they just dead cells? Any one willing to sell some starting culture? I stopped culturing phytoplankton for a while and all my previous cultures are no longer viable... am thinking of restarting my own culture... Regards... Raiden

Hi Guinness, Thanx for your reply. I presumed that the Epoxy putty is water proof... right? Regards... Raiden

Hi all, My external beckette skimmer sprout a leak at the joint between the PVC and acrylic and am looking for a sealant that can seal the leak. Read on the internet that there is this product "3M 5200 Marine Adhesive Sealant" which seems to be good for sealing such kind of leaks. Wonder if any one has come across this product and where to buy it in Singapore. And for those who have used it before, would appreciates your experience sharing. Thanx. Regards... Raiden

Hi, PMed you... Regards... Raiden

Hi, Thanx for the reply... hmm... I was sold a litre of the chloroform by Dama and was told it is pretty similiar to weld-on; in any case, was told by Dama that the weld-on 16 tube form is out of stock until mid next month... Guessed that I will have to be patience about this... meanwhile, I also working on mod-ing an old Ehiem canister filter into a Calcium reactor; so far it looks alright except that the unit is not powerful enough to pull and push water from the tank - still need an external pump - my solution is to tap from my FR's input - seems to work pretty well. Will need to see if the results of the mod is as expected. Regards... Raiden

Hi colinsoon, Ha... ha... that's what DIYing is all about right? Not so much of buying but the experience and fun of making something... Don't think $$ is the main concern here (but of course it is still key) since the material cost for some of these DIY projects here are more costly than buying ready made product... right? Just saw a design that uses right-angled triangular acrylic strips to strengthen the corners... seems to be a viable solution... Hi all, Any more ideas and tips? Especially the application of acrylic glue and making clean joints. Regards... Raiden

Hi cdckin, Thanx for the advice - I actually reenforced the tank with silicone besides the acrylic glue but it did not hold too well - it broke at the weakest joint. Will be redoing this again... so hoping to find a good solution in making a acrylic tank... Regards... Raiden

Hi Big Ben, What then would you recommend? Weld-on? or any other better glue... Regards... Raiden

Hi, Wonder if there are anyone here could share with me your secrets in glueing acrylic 5mm sheets? Am trying to make a tank with acrylic but my first attempt was not very successful, ended up first leaking at some part and then disaster happened - one side of the tank gave way and ended up spending 1.5 hrs cleaning up saltwater in the living room. Need to know the following: - What do you use to apply the acrylic glue (acrylic glue from Dama) ? Need to know a clean and effective way of applying it. - Read about the capillary effect when glueing acrylic, anyone can share how this can be done? What do you use to create that small gap to have the capillary effect? - Is Weld-on better for glueing acrylic or the acrylic glue (chloroform - from DAMA) is as good. Was not able to get any weld-on when at Dama - sold out. - Any other tips to share when working on acrylic? Thanx in advanced for your help!! Regards... Raiden

Hi, PMed you on Candy Cane. Regards... Raiden

HI, Yes, this is a useful equipment for your tank - generate nice wave movements. I'm using a close-loop system with it... Regards... Raiden

Hi, Wonder if anyone know how to tell when it is time to replace the MH bulb besides it being blown out? Regards Raiden

Hi, Wonder if anyone know if there are any LFS that sell needlewheel impeller without the pump? Regards... Raiden

Hi, Called Jireh but seems that it does not carry such 'spare' PL either... so the lesson here is to make sure when buying lights, replacement bulb must be easily available... Will check C328... Regards... Raiden

Hi all, Thanx for the advice... the PL comes with the MH... so this is probably a tip for those who wanted to buy MH - to make sure that there are ready replacement for the lights for the MH fixture... BTW, anyone know how to open up the JEBO MH fixture (those with 2xMH and 2x27W PL) to replace the bulbs ? I only saw screws at both ends of the fixture... Regards... Raiden
