  1. does the heat come from the tubes or the ballast?
  2. Huh why wrong? I DIY my T5s mah... I got them liao now need to know how high to put them...
  3. Huh? I've never seen floating salt crystals but thanks for the tip anyways... Oh another tip, use a small powerhead to help mix the salt... I used to use a chopstick and a pail... I tell u... painful man... after that I found a spare powerhead, haven't touched the chopstick since..
  4. Agreed... plan well and it should take you only one weekend (with a helper perhaps)... It took me 2 nights to build mine... I rushed the laminating so it turned out like sh*t.... laminate nicely, you'll enjoy the fruits of ur labour...
  5. Correct.. power trips... very dangerous IMO... or even faulty timer, my timer for my kalkreactor spoilt for donno how long then I realised (kalkreactor is opaque) was wondering why I couldn't maintain my calcium levels...
  6. Hmm... okay I try to see what I can do with mine... hope to see kopi-o soon too..
  7. Well it's up to the individual I guess... If you don't mind the labour and potential risk (if any) why not...
  8. Woah... skimmate looks very thick.. what pump u using bro... also, i noticed u have the water level pretty low huh.... tot most weipro users raise the water level all the way to the neck level? How long before ur skimmer broke in btw?
  9. bro pic too big... Anyway I did something like this before.. it leaked big time... somehow the silicone doesn't bind very well with the tupperware
  10. Hi guys, producer cancelled the underwater shoot.. so no need liao, thanks for reading!
  11. I know this might sound weird.. But I want to borrow a 250W or 400W MH set (6500k or 10000k or no bulb) pref with reflector... Reason is non-marine (that's why I put in kopi-tiam forum). I'm doing a short film with some hall mates and we couldn't secure any studio lights and we are on ultra low budget... so was wondering if anyone has a spare MH set to lend me for about 1.5 weeks... The victron 250W MH set would be great if not I would appreciate anything else.. If got studio lights to lend even better.. Let me know thanks!! BTW, willing to rent also for small amt... Thanks!

  12. Erm.. modded weipro? Hehe if u willing to wait a while can see if my mod works... check it out here.. http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?...opic=26079&st=0
  13. Huh why is it a timebomb? My DIY stand will probably be still just as sturdy 20 yrs down the road... All wooden furniture that's built well can last a lifetime...
  14. I took replaced the modded impeller with the original one already... so the modded one is lying around, anyone wants to buy it over from me? Impeller only ah.. the maxijet is now used as a wavemaker (sawed off the output nozzle)
  15. Hmmmm.. good idea.. might try it out, not sure exactly what size to get though...
  16. Erm.. I'm actually thinking of using 10k T5s to improve the lighting from my 20k 250W BLV... so it's the other way around I guess... I think my 20k BLV isn't strong enough for my corals...
  17. tried that.. once I reduced the water output the venturi stopped working coz the water speed became too slow...
  18. I just tried it on my 2011... same problem arised... bottom half super dense, top half hardly any bubbles...
  19. Looks nice and neat man... I would make the rock formation a wee bit higher.. but then again maybe when you put the corals it would be okay...
  20. Modding it quite straight forward lah, no brainer one.. just rip out the venturi, stuff a tube to replace it, tube goes to "needlewheel" pump... Problem is it's DAMN hard to stuff the tube over the given elbow.. DAMN hard.. I think I tried for 1/2 an hour man..
  21. Here's the skimmer... hais.. see the problem with the bubble density?? Darn... How to solve how to solve?? BTW, skimmer only on 2nd or 3rd day haven't broken in yet...
