  1. Should have seen this article when I still had my nano shrimp tank...the way he assemble everything and get it to work is just so simple. but nvr state how fast it goes down to 25deg.
  2. Not using filter Sock? I dont see anything to hold up the sock .
  3. Good price if can collect by end week. Pm me.
  4. Arowana convert marine tank..use with some swirl marks at upper top of tank.unable to really notice at an angle. Dark tinted overflow and underflow corner piece. Original black silicon has been layered over with cow downing before using for marine. 12mm glass. Some minor scratches here and there. Black oyama behind. Overflow chamber can fit in 2x 30mm downflow and one 16mm upflow return. Eurobracing all round and centre bracing. No leak. Still running with corals. Need to clear when new tank arrives. Tank can be clean easily as not much coralline on glass. Great barebottom tank. Please arrange own movers. Just bare tank only.$350.
  5. 5ft t5 set for sale by delightings. Condition of casing 8/10.. come with 4 Ati tubes . 2 tubes replaced recently. Letting go cheap at $200 with one new Aquablue special replaced last week. New eballast replaced . Light in full running order. Collect by this week.
  6. Can try c328 or seaview have disc. Depend on your tank size but I thnk one bag should be enough. There's is a sizing spec On the box.
  7. I would perhaps ditch the ceramic and keep the biohomme.
  8. I Did consider doing a mixing tank with auto float and place in my current location kitchen sitting on the floor. Did some designs also with plumbing coming in from my ro/di but worry the glass get knock or crack accidentally. A rectangular cube 2.5ft all round would give approx 420litres of water change... But the cost of making the mixing tank is another factor.
  9. Depends in how often you actually fill up your drums. More often you use it will exhaust the resins more. Think the catridge and resins replaced 3/ 6 mths iirc. If your tank is small and feasible for you to buy the pure distilled water than it's ok. Bigger tanks are better off with the one 3 or 5 stage at home.
  10. I think must get something like pure distilled water. It's indicate on the bottle.
  11. That's a good one. Maybe the most outrageous reasons he ever get. Haha btw, this capsule not able to get over counter ?

    DI water...

    Both My drum cOmes with float. Both takes a couple Hours and stop when done. My pressUre reading at 60.
  13. Hi. Thanks for the tips.I decide to reposition my barrels nearer to kitchen. Placing them in the toilet wasn't a good place . I can easily mix salt and let it dissolve overnight and get to at least hide the barrel. I am using a siphon straight to drain when doing water change. Additional barrel is not feasible as lack of space. I normally would measue the surface vol that I require , mark out on the tank side and let the water drain until the level.
  14. I am sure that some of you have tanks larger than 4ft. I would like to get some views on what is the most efficient ways to change water at home. I have a 5x2.5x2.5 and changing water is a hassle for me. I have tried delivery service and of course at a price . Try salt mix and realize that it's alot of time taken to get it mix and prep them up in drums. My 60l drums x 2 can only change a fraction of the water change. Any other methods?
  15. Their profile thickness for the ballast housing is pretty slim. I have cOnsidered befoe on a 1.5ft. Most Available eballast in market can only mount outside case.
