Sunkist Orange Zoas?

If $ is not a problem... why headache?

Last time I use to run a NR1000 and the dissolve Deniballs look something like that... although yours look really really horrible

It depends on the brand I guess... my Grotech Magnesium Instant instruct me to dose directly into a high flow sump instead of dripping. Just follow the intructions on the label. As for the local lettuce... I've stopped and rely on seaweed instead. I notice my FoxFace pooed pieces of lettuce... undigested...

The 2 mountains rock scape is quite nice... are those my old LR?

Aiyo... stop guessing lah... it's just a simple transparent acrylic tube lah... a 4ft tall FR... custom-made... tallest the manufacturer has ever produced

Err... that 10 tubes ATI Powermodule almost covers my entire footprint

Hello... you think I need to carry my own tank or sump???

Emm... I think it's better to add the Magnesium to your sump in high flow area... you might upset the ionic balance by adding a large amount of Magnesium (relative) into a well-balanced salt mix.

Collect my new toy from AM just now... had a word with Janet... all I can say is... don't spend a single cent this weekend What's in store next weekend is very very exciting Will take some pix tomorrow... my new toy can barely fit into my car boot

You made that test kit yourself? Very creative But I will suggest getting a more reliable test apparatus for your Sg... a refractometer perhaps Magnesium is a tad low... try to raise it to at least 1300

DBS I think... not sure about the rest... I heard they will offer SUPER SALE on all products to celebrate the opening of their Katong branch... but only "wind" lah

Next year is only months away... and I will suggest you cycle your tank for at least 6 months... which means you gotto get your tank ready by next month

Here's what I did this morning... 1) Moved that filing cabinet away... gosh I am running out of space... papers and folders everywhere 2) Placed a powerful fan in front of the chiller air inlet... connected to Aquatronica, will kick-in together with the chiller. Gotto bear in mind the fan consumes 50W on its own 3) Placed my in-sump Aquatronica temperature probe to monitor the temperature surrounding the chiller. Currently, room temperature (chiller resting) 26.3ºC, tank temperature 26.1ºC.

Hi bro Colinsoon... I like it when you ask questions With the information provided by Aquatronica... it will be a "crime" to ignore that fact that something ain't right... and just let the chiller continue to "sucks" the Middle East dry I spent some time studying it... and here are just some thoughts... will continue to focus on this issue till it is resolved. More to come

Cute little guy

How about some GRADE A skimmate

A reefer will come over my office during lunch time tomorrow... need an extra brain to figure things

Yes very possible... the blockage is the main source... will add a fan tomorrow (connect to the chiller) so that they kick-in together... use the fan to circulate the air surrounding the chiller... will definitely help Installing an exhaust fan is the best... but there is not window nearby I might explore relocating the chiller too

Ok guys... if the graph above doesn't make much sense... IT DOESN'T MAKES SENSE AT ALL I misread the graph... the situation is very serious (opposite of my previous post)... the chiller runs for 5 hours at night to bring down 1ºC!!! I moved some furniture around yesterday... I think I know the source of the problem... I believe I accidentally blocked the chiller air inlet (or having my cabinet too close it)... will immediately rectify the problem tomorrow morning Will post another graph 2 days later... sorry for the confusion

As planned... my Arctica 1/3hp chiller is back to acceptable level... running 7 hours a day (4 kick-ins)... before changing to T5 the chiller runs for at least 9 hours (5 kick-ins) daily From the graph below, lighting is still the main heat contributor... besides... 1) Tunze Streams... during lighting hours, my 4 Tunze Streams will pulse from 30% to 100%, after lighting hours, they will remain at 30%, generating less heat at night. 2) Lighting for my 2ft tank... ATI PM 2ft x 4 tubes. After studying the graph closely, my current equipments are not generating much heat... it took 5 hours to rise 1ºC (8.30pm to 1.30am, 3am to 8am)... not bad at all... I think my investment in good equipments does pay-off in the long run

Wait lah... I will cross promo again tomorrow

I need boiling hot water for "quick melt"... furthermore if I keep drawing salt water from the tank... then I will have to make up for it (by adding saltier water) Not a good idea IMO
