AquaMarin was the first to reply email, yes, they have ready stock! Thanks again!

Thanks CFOh for the heads up! I just searched their webby, unfortunately, it is not listed in their products page. Anyway, I will email them to enquire. Cheers!

Has anyone seen this locally?

Latest FTS!

Hi Javier, apologies for my late reply, did not notice your post till now! Let me try and answer your question as best as I can. 1) is ur skimmer giving u mirco bubbles problem to ur main tank? Ans: Nope, none at all! I have a foam that catches all the micro bubbles between the skimmer compartment and the last compartment where the return pump is. 2) ur not using any chiller right, wat is the room temp in ur house and are u using any fan? if ur using fan, wat is the top up rate? Ans: Room temp? Er . . . No idea, but the tank sits in my living room and it isn't that hot. Yes, I have two DC fans blowing at the surface of the tank. I need to top up around 2 litres a day! 3) is it necessary to use a wavemaker? if the return pump is strong enough, can the wave be diverted instead? Ans: I am using the AB2000 and it doesn't make much of a wave, I can barely see it move amy corals. So to cut the long story short, yes, definitely need a wavemaker! 4) for water parameter, are u using solution A & B? or wat other solution are u using? Ans: I just do regular water change, one large pail every 2 weeks. I do top up with the TOP UP from IWARNA, I go through one bottle a week! I hope that answers your questions!

Thankfully, this flamey is still quite well behaved. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Hi everyone, nothing much has changed, just to update with a FTS shot. Cheers!

I am interested too!

You are so lucky! I have a hard time trying to get my wife interested in my hobby!

Hi Ketchup and desideria, apologies, I did not know both of you are related!

Thanks desideria! I've known Tomato and Ketchup longer than I've known my wife! Shhssshhh . . . Tomato clown has a great character but they can be quite a bully. Perhaps you can setup a nano just for your tomato clown? Does he have a name?

Thanks tunicate and MadkenZ. I cannot take the credit here. Technology has evolved and made things a whole lot easier since I took up this hobby more than 10 years ago. I have an Aquabee 2000 return pump using 18 watts, atman ph1100 skimmer pump in my Bubble-Magus 3.5 using 8 watts, so, a total of 26 watts that is heating up the water. Thanks to LED technology for the Maxspect lighting the tank and the PAR LED for lighting the refugium, water doesn't heat up compared to metal halide. Even for wave makers, thanks to magnetic coupling used by Vortech, there is little or no heat transfer into the water and yet we get tremendous water movement. So thanks to technology, lots of reading up and breaking a few piggy banks, it is now possible to avoid using the chiller. I guess there is a compromise, and that is having a huge evaporation rate. I lose about 1 litre of water a day so I make use of that opportunity to use kalk for make-up water.

Hi tunicates, The tank is in the living room without any aircon. I suppose it's the low wattage of all the equipment that helps to keep the temp low.

Hi tunicate, nope, not at all! And the water temp stays very constant and cool at 26 degrees celcius!

Hahaha, they are 10 years old already, perhaps they are just old and crouchy?!

Hi allantang, the position of sump verus electrical stuff was not an available option as I purchased the set complete from Dr Evil. I think the logic was to close the distance between the sump and main tank to reduce the head loss suffered by the return pump. Perhaps Dr Evil would like to comment? However, I do agree with you on the potential risk of water getting to the eletronics.

Thanks for the advice straydum, will go prun the chaeto.

Nice! Where is this place? Can we come visit?

Thanks Ketchup! I didn't know that! I was fiddling with the settings on my camera and kept wondering how to get it right!?! Another FTS, but with the wave maker and return still on. Sorry, only read your post (Ketchup's) after taking the shot. My lights are off now so will probably try again another time. And a shot of maroon clown pair whom has been with me for 10 years! And guess what? I named them Tomato and Ketchup!

Thanks to MadkenZ, managed to get a PAR LED to replace the dymax robot LED which I felt was really too dim to encourage the chaeto to grow well. Took a few of pics before mounting the PAR LED. See how bright it is compared to the Dymax LED! Just to end with another FTS. Any idea how to rid the tiny specks in the water column when taking photographs? Thanks for looking!

So nice!!! Can you share a photo of your full tank shot with cabinet and lights? Thank you!!!

Cool looking refugium lights! Can you share with us where did you get the holder and lights? I am keen to get something like that too! If it's alright with you, can you also share with us the cost? Thanks!

Yes I do have nassarius snails. No wonder I see baby nassarius snails in my tank!
