hi there. i'm interested. check pm cheers

i'm keen. pls check pm.

Bright Red M3 is a very choice!!!! hahaha

let's target 30 fishes and colourful SPS!

this is certainly a never ending debate. make a sure on RC and ORA and you'll find tons of fire! however, some people do have huge success with DSB. look at some of the tanks in SRC. they are pretty amazing. but can u guanrantee it will last for years. Is it a time bomb? many do realise that and turning to BB for that security. ultimately, it's your husbandry and techniques. can u ensure enuff flow to every single inch of sand? are u on enuff to do 75% water change weekly? to most the answer is no and thus we turn to BB cos we see shit easily and we know by the look of the base we gotta do some cleaning!!! haha perhaps my explanations are not scientific enuff to explain why but as long as my livestock are growing well with colours, both will work! cheers

yup. anyway, i'm going to listen to several more offers b4 deciding. anyone else?

just upgraded a daeil for my 800 litres. letting go at $600 it does a good job for my previous 600 litres. will service it and top up gas b4 handing over. pm me if interested.

yup. thomas said no stock now. can pm me your contact tineng? cheers

Ran out of Zeobak. Any sellers or willing to loan me till the new stock comes in this coming week as expected. Appreciate it. Cheers

hi. got my fans at kelentan lane near the entrance of the multi-story car park. mine is not that noisy. trust KDK.

welcome to the BB Club bro

wed: landed late at night thus and fri: helped out with my buddy's mum's wake (sudden!) sat, sun, today: public holiday. cannot get the hose adaptor tomorrow: gonna get from HC and pass WL the pump at night i'm not surprised that you're pissed. i'll be pissed too but there are larger things in life.

some PMs abt the circuit box. yes it can be extended with more switches for more equipment. btw, the other stuff still available.

2 yr old Eheim 1262. excellent condition. - $150

Hager switchbox with 2x timers + 3x switches. - $150 Previously used for 2x250W MH + 2x54W T5. I've already setup a different circuitry. All wired and ready to go with spare slots....

36W PL Lighting - $50

Tunze eurobrace extension x 2 - $20 each Locline - $10

selling some stuff away to clear the mess at home! Tunze 7091 controller - $65

i'm currently using a Red Dragon 10m3 (10000 litres/hr) at 98W if i remember correctly. it's a super flow pump and i try to minimise head loss by simple and short plumbing. price wise, pls consult our sponsor, Eaquanature who is currently the distributor of Red Dragon pumps. Hint: They are not cheap! any pump that gives u a good flow rate is good pump. i was contemplating using the tried and tested iwaki mx70 or 100 on an oceansmotions 4-way but decided against it cos i'm irritated by the little humming sound from such pressure rated pumps. but a note to all those interested: the return of investment for a super flow pump like Red Dragon is at least 7 yrs compared to running a high wattage pressure rated pump. simply put, running those 250W pumps gives u a low setup cost but higher running elec cost whereas the lower wattage flow pumps is a huge investment in the beginning. if u ask for my opinion, i hate powerheads. honestly the tunzes are ugly too but i will still have at least 3x6100 in my tank for the simple reason that they are good cost effective wave generators. put them on IKS (if i can find a sponsor!) and create ultra random movements! preventing dirt or detritus on the sandbed is almost an impossible thing to do unless u are prepared to compromise on looks cos those acrylic or egg crate stands are diffcult to camouflage. with some effort, u can create a closed loop output targeting at the entire floor which will suspend detritus to the overflow. nevertheless, it'll be a challenge. and yes i got my acrylic based siliconed to the glass. cheers

Scroll, Yes. I'm a believer of Zeovit too but be careful of dosage and flowrate. Post your questions on SRC and I'm sure many will help you get started. Here's a quick guide from captiveoceans.com Handle Zeovit with care. It's a double edged sword to success but the key word is believe and have patience, right Weileong?

hi dude. acrylic is 8 or 10mm i cannot remember now!

had considered a 4-way or super squirt for a long time but decided against it as i've decided not to use high wattage pressure-rated pumps. would probably kill my RD if i ran additional eductors with it great stuff but do order early if you want the 220V version cos Paul (from OM) told me that they do not keep stock of 220V but must order at an extra USD$20 if i'm not wrong. if you're setting it up. go with a good pressure rated pump and eductors on your outputs. will give u killer flow! cheers

have seen a pic of even a reflector white base... very glaring. not sure abt others but i would prefer not to.

hi yoyo. shall answer your question abt starboard and closed loop here for the benefit of other reefers. our tanks are made of glass and when we do our rockscape, we do not wish to exert pressure points on the base glass. in addition to a 'cushioning' factor, we can also prevent the glass from breaking if rocks fall off. there are many materials u can use apart from starboard. starboard is a marine grade polymer which is UV/Chemical resistant. Check this example some use the white ones to reflect MH upwards such that corals, specifically SPS may get light from down under. however to me, i thought it would be too reflective for the comfort of my eyes. thus i chose black acrylic which gives me a stark contrast to the colours i intend to place on the base. (rics, clams, other colourful eye candy) as for closed loop. it's all abt increasing flow within the tank without increasing the sump flowthru rate. u would want an optimum flowthru rate in the sump to achieve maximum skimmer and CR efficiency. many times people use one or many powerful return pumps to achieve such high flow while others use wavemaking devices such as Tunze Streams or Seios. some dudes choose a closed loop pump. i.e. take water from tank, go thru a high flow pump and return back to the tank. advantage of this system is that u can maintain the pump externally and do 'funky' plumbing for the output. (3 outlets, 2 outlets, etc...) hope that answers some questions. cheers

check out that colony of acans. simply breathtaking. was that from AA?
