haha pratas... always draw my attention ... but scare away my wallet ... haha..

think my salinity tell wrong ... its 1.022 kH nv test yet ... but everything is well other than red slime patches sometimes .. im very keen on the mangroves idea...

amm is ok lvl .. salinity 1.021 nitrate is the lightest colour(good cond) i dun have good test kits ... sorry ..

my idea failed .. plus china pump spoil.. damm .. wont try anymore... my fuge project is closed .. although im still on the look out for methods of nutrient(harmful) removal. i remembered about mangroves and i know iwarna has some .. was thinking of trying it out next month ... right now .. im so broke i dun have money to eat .. mebbe july or late june will try.. if im gonna use chemicals to reduce my nitrate phos etc... what product should i go for ?

mine not considered garden la .. haha ... 3 fans spread apart ... actually after my "renovations" (i changed the positions of the pumps a little) now running on my dymax ( 2500L/h ) and my seio 2400... all my corals are opening well .. even the leather, huge fan , and cauliflowers are opening too... although ... coz of the renovations.. my lack of diligence during this period ... i noticed my blue gorgonian is dying abit .. just at the lower branches ... BUT my GONIO ... opening VERY BIG. too bad no time to take pics. btw . bro jervis .. gotta thank you coz ur thread keeps me going .. this project really sapped my energy and passion esp when i keep failing ... but every time i see ur thread i get inspired to cont. trying .. even if one method fails i will find another method .. .. i have some qns on my thread waiting for u ..

ohh .. den get the purple ones ... damm nice ... saw them at AM last week... fan forest ? hahaha

well .. bad news is one my china pumps got destroyed by accident .. i broke the part that connects to the pipe ..

what can you put in the shadow ?? SUNS !!!! SUPER SUNS !!! TONS OF SUNS! BLACK GREEN RED ORANGE YELLOW SUNS !! HAHAHAHAHAHA! ok seriously ... ya .. why not suns ? the dont need the light ... and if the flows good at the area ... im sun u can have a sun garden there

umm bro jervis ... randalls dont really sift sand leh ... at least mine didnt... he was more of a predator than a sifter ...

how ? is this idea ok ? gonna work on it soon ..

bro .. dun think coral got blood ...haha .. umm might be... any pros can verify ? anyways ... just throw all of it away other than the snail ... if u got sump can throw the worm in ... will do good work for ur system ..

found this method on the saltwater about site. modified it a little ... pls advice for the part [ fuge to main ] the return pipe will be quite high up. so in case of black out .. the minimum level of water will be under the return outlet (( as seen in A )) note : fuge will be half full so in case of black out ... water that would flow in would not overflow. [main to fuge] the pump will be place near the water line ... so in case of black out ... water that would be drawn into the fuge will stop once it goes below the pump intake .. is this idea workable ? will keep my skimmer ... btw im using a 2 footer as a fuge ..

ummm cant ... no point becoz i stupidly glued the pipes already ... even if i wanted to change also cannot ... think i will put this project on hold and maybe try again when july comes ... will put algae in the the IOS compartment first. btw .. can a fuge replace a skimmer ?

hmm so how ? option 2 ?

my tank going thru algae bloom ... suspect is my new feeding regime ... changed it ... but wanna have a fuge just in case ...but keep failing miserably ... got 2 final options left.. really need all u bros for advice ... 1. since i got 2 extra pumps now ... was thinking of not caring about the overflow pipe anymore ... will put one pump into the main tank to draw water out into the fuge ... and the remaining one in the fuge to bring water back in the main tank .. problem is ... in instance of a black out .. the suction of the two pipes draw the main tank water into a fuge ... and even though the fuge is big ... its gonna overflow eventually .... any ideas on how to stop this backflow ? 2. the finale despo attempt to a fuge .. to shove the macro algae into one of the compartments in my IOS and put a light over it .. any problems in this ? really headache now ... keep tryin and trying .. but no success ...

wah .. i envy you ... my tank is in total disorder now ... dunno what to do ...

where in the east can i get a ball vavle ..

changed to a lower power pump but still never run properly ... the input into the fuge is still too slow .. soo irritated ... dunno how .. spent too much cash already .. dunno if got cash to make any more admendments...

no replies ? price reduced to $25 dollars ... nothing wrong with it ... been with me for around 6 months ... will wash and clean for buyer. reason of selling: upgrading my tank by adding refugium .. this pump is unsuitable for me set-up

btw bro jervis ... ur compartments so cramped up ... can convert to fuge ah ? wont it be hard ?

im selling it at $ 30... but negotiable ... pls pm me soon ...

if its brown and have long tentacles it should be bad anemone ... even if its good .. dun think u wanna have such an ugly thing inside right ? haha... post a pic of the crab too ... it might be dangerous ...

wah .... bro jervis ... im a student .. im a poor person ... becoz of my failed attempts with the fuge ... think i will have no $$ to eat this few weeks liao ... cant afford a $199 pump leh ... dymax or china brand also can ... haha ...

like stated in the title ... im also thinking of selling it .. pls PM ASAP

day two ... still failed in the fuge project ... decided to get a better pump ... bought a 1800L/h pump to run the fuge but it was too weak ... used my dymax 2500L/h but was too strong ... thinking of finding something in between ... are the such pumps ? 2000L/h ? anyway im selling off my dymax or swopping it off ... anyone interested ? very tired now ... my tank is in a mess ... my room like a construction site ###### disaster zone ... algae all over my tank ... but my gonio is opening like siao liao .. haha ... feel like giving up my fuge project .. but just cant seem to let it go ... so many things on my schedule now im gonna like die la ...
