  1. I did it the most economical (but risky) way... I used single pvc pipes for the stands, without any elbows or whatever... drilled a hole at the top then cable tied it to the eggcrates... i.e. the whole structure is only vertical pipes and horizontal egg crate, no elbows or whatever to form a proper stool... I then shoved the pipes into the DSB (much like how piling works)... the DSB then holds the vertical pipes in place which in place holds the eggcrate in place... it's a little shakey but otherwise has been holding my rocks up...
  2. Used to have a table fan blowing at my tank... never hit above 30.. not even on the hottest of days and this is when I have 250W on my 55gal...
  3. just make sure u don't install funny software, like kaz** or whatever... a lot of them are adware...
  4. Not to mention u don't know how old this seawater is... might be so old that there is microscopic dieoff...
  5. If u didn't know some of the "luohan fishtank fires" were not caused by DIY stuff but rather store bought things.... So is buying off the shelf safer?
  6. Great work!! Chuckled when I saw the inverted funnel but it's a good idea!
  7. Aiyah small case.. the other day when my DIY skimmer leaked I begged it to stop leaking so that I could get some sleep... hehe...
  8. din know clams will colour up leh... I tot only SPSs colour up
  9. that's some sick sh*t man... yikes... poor guy kenna scape goat... likewise, don't watch it if you don't think you can handle it..
  10. Lights are pretty safe if you ask me... FL, PL, T5 esp.. only MH perhaps a bit more risky.. anyways, those fires were more likely caused my lousy pumps and overloaded sockets than lights which catch fire.. (doubt this will ever happen!)
  11. Huh silica gel damn super fast use up one leh... esp in a room...
  12. If i'm not wrong it actually has a 50% chance of turning in the opposite direction each time it's fired up thus resulting in a change of water flow direction right? how big ur tank btw? thinking of 1200 but I suspect it's too powerful for me coz I'll be using it to shoot across the width not length of my tank, which is 1.5ft
  13. Some people don't really trust it... which one u talking about specifically?
  14. Reminds me of when I was back in hall... so freaking hot I rather sleep on the floor...
  15. It is?? I tot it's bigger than zooplankton??
  16. Windows have to close, so aim at window also useless thus the need to duct them out then seal the gap... Okay will go brainstorm on a way to duct it out or something... hope it works man..
  17. Buy a lot of hungry hippos? Hehe.. me also have tank in room.. hais damn hot siah
  18. mine should be more than enough too.. but then the room gets so hot that the chiller efficiency just plummets...
  19. Wah fan cool until 27??? Me chiller chill till 27 leh...
  20. Yah victron does not do any wiring what... u gotta earth it urself, there's a spare screw in there or something, just wire the earth wire to that... As for the leak, as per our PMs I'm not too sure what could be wrong but I suspect it's to do with a tiny leak somewhere, check and recheck all metal parts, especially nuts and bolts connecting the parts to the box...
  21. haha that's what I want to know also
  22. Hais.. more equipment... can I do it without the additional fan? Maybe run the ductwork sloping upwards to hot air rises to the outlet?
