reefer guy

looking for small blue hermit crabs... anybody spotted anywhere?

looking for the above, any model will do as long as good working condition. thanks, jon

sold and collected by a nice gentleman.... good luck and have fun setting up your new reef tank

sorry bro..... trying to give priority to those who gave interest first, if the buyer backs out, i'll give priority to the next in line... as i don't have time to reply all pm's and sms-es, i am keeping this thread updated instead to be fair to all....

thanks for all the interests, both items currently reserved pending collection tomorrow afternoon

letting go these 2 items; 1. hailea 500a - 1/2 hp in store as a back up chiller, good working condition. reason for selling: not using at all - asking $450 2. bubble magus BM - T01 dosing pump and accessories - used for about a year and a half, good working condition; used to dose for my full sps reef tank ( mg, kh and ca) inclusive of dosing containers (mg just reloaded 3 weeks ago while kh & ca in bags) reason for selling: old school reefer goes back to basics - asking $280 All prices negotiable.

sold and collected by a nice reefer. thanks.

thanks for the overwhelming interest.... as it is quit abit of work to reply every queries personally; 1. collection is at Bedok Reservoir; collection can be arranged after working hours. 2. not sure if it feeds on pellets as I only feed with brine shrimp; 3. I have an sps dominated reef and a handful of softies/lps and I should say it has never bothered my corals at all. i would like to be fair to everyone and will give priority to those who pm me first; 1. alex826768 2. foofrancis 3. bluemask 4. shootsimon 5. sanhas it's a long list actually and will release the rest of interests if none of the above wants it. thanks, jon

selling flame angel fish (from previous Iwarna shipment) size approximately 1.5" very healthy, selling as I want to decrease bioload. looking at $30 and will give a bicolour angel about 1" in size FOC. interested, kindly pm me. jon

hai cheong plastics..... they got everything a reefer will need for plumbing...

nice project..... but bro your acrylic stand looks scary.

depends on your requirements actually as well as set up. best is if you could drop by Iwarna and speak to Victor, he would be happy to help you and usually they will set it up for you.

it's more like calcium than stroNtium.

pinnacle has both, nice colonies.

i agree. aside from which, ratio of oxygen supply in tank is lower (area of water surface for oxygen exchange against volume of water). Not saying it's bad but it could be better if your water surface area is bigger. i would go for a deeper tank, 4 x 2.5 x 2(h) as i find light and oxygen issues are easily resolved and ease of maintaining/reaching in.... mostly, rockscaping is alot nicer with deeper/wider tanks (not to mention that fishes usually swim horizontally rather than up and down) my two cents.

salifert all the way

i myself don't practice water change, just water top-up using ro/di...... this sps reef tank lasted me 14 months until it died due to power outage in office hence decommissioning it... Uploaded with ImageShack.us

can send to Derrick as well.... I just sent mine for same problem....

was wondering how where you able to measure 800 in a salifert test kit, and in any case, an ionic imbalance will show symptoms of really high calcium concentration. as per other reefers' suggestion, partial YET gradual water change will help -- other than that, buy lotsa sps A responsible reefer will test his water parameters from time to time -- test kits is not a waste of money but constant buying of livestock to replenish dead ones due to poor husbandry is.... any senior reefer will agree on that.

workmanship is not bad, i have been using them for all my tanks and they are reliable.

6mm is for my sump and main tank is 12mm... i usually opt for 8mm thk for sump but i have looked through the design of this sump and 6mm is enough to hold this. brucetom, my tank maker is in Kelantan Road.

i've got mine done a week ago, 3ft L x 2.5ft W x 2ft H, 12mm thk glass with front and one side crystal glass and a 2ft L x 1.5ft W x 1.5ft H sump, 6mm thk for less than S$600 inclusive of delivery. That is without the cabinet though.

using butterfly plugs on false ceiling is not a sure bet -- gypsum ceiling is made of soft material and chances of giving way on a heavy load is very high. Ketchup is right - reinforcing it with timber internally is the solution.

since ive started reefing almost a decade ago he has been around and helpful.... reliable guy with a real passion to the hobby.... hats off to ah bac
