  1. Yeah.. I am also wondering if I should get a 14k or 20k bulb
  2. Looking for stand - for my 1.5ft cube tank. Non JBJ also can. Any stand/ cabinet that is suitable. SMS me at 91853586 pls. Thanks.
  3. Hi Curahee My upcoming tank will be very similar size to yours. Just 5 cm bigger lol Mine is a 45 cm cube. Acouple of questions which I hope you can help answer. - How is the Viper 150k? Thinking of getting that or the Aqualight clip-on MH. Did you do a comparison of the 2? - Should I get a K1 or K2? Will K2 be too strong? Thanks
  4. As listed above... where do I get this clip on MH?
  5. nice tank... will be easier to appreciate if the photo is resized.
  6. Went to have a look at the JBJ tank today. Unfortunately did not like it. The front was curved and the object in the tank seems distorted. Felt giddy after looking at it for a while. prefer the RSM tank but size is too big. Yes I am looking at ordering an acrylic 1.5 ft cube tank now.
  7. did think of that.... but my tank might appear clustered.... I am thinking so setting an open top so that there is not much clustering of eqpt above the tank and wires all over the place...... Currently leaning towards a JBJ 24G open top tank 1x Viper K2 150W (14k bulb) K1 or should I get K2? Nano reefpack 200 Artica chiller 1/15HP . will need another pump for the chiller Think this list is quite final...... until if MP10 is available and is not too powerful for my tank size. Anyone has any suggestion or any epqt that I should get instead of those listed?
  8. wow just checked. LED lighting is not cheap and not proven in the long run yet........ Think I will have to stick with clip on MH. (viper K2 - 150W) Any reccomendation for 1.5 ft MH + actinic combo? Are there any such combo in the market?
  9. Are we all not waiting for retrenchment..... especially as you approach 45 and beyond.... tick tock tick tock......
  10. Oops.. Ian responded via email. he will be back only next week. Ignore my earlier statement.

  12. Side track - Does these salt have expiry date? I have kept a box of marine environment salt for 3-4 years. Can I still use them?
  13. Can i reserve 2 please. My tank will be cycled by then.
  14. Yeah lol. resize it lah .... And the photos are not turning out right it seems. If you stay in the west, I can help you take some nice shots with my DSLR. FOC hehe.

  16. I think I-aquatic dissolve already. checked with singtel, there is no such company listed. Got a quote from Dama for 200+ for the 1.5 ft cube. Considering if I shld get just a 24g glass tank from JBJ.less than 50% of the acylic tank price.......
  17. still looking... 1) 1.5 ft cube tank 2) Chiller - Artica 1/15 HP or 1/20 HP, Ice Probe, 3) HOB filter - Deltec MCE 300, Remora or Tunze Reefpack 200 4) MH - JPJ Viper 70 or 150W, Any other clip on MH (not hanging ones)
  18. I not good at DIYing leh. unless someone here can help me make which I dun think anyone will
  19. My previous experinece was with a 6ft tank, 2.5 ft cube tank LPS many years ago. Both already decomm. Coming back to start a new tank now that my life has stabilize a little. Going to start a new tank. I have decided on Tunze Nano Reefpack 200 I am still open about the corals i am going to keep. probably some LPS and SPS. Very few fishes. Gonna get the artica 1/15HP chiller as well. Currently having dilemma on lighting and size of tank. Initially wanted a 1.5 cube tank. But found very limited light sets available for this size. At the moment I am thinking of getting the JBJ Viper 70W, 14k MH(http://www.jbjlighting.com/prod-k2-viper.html) but the question is how do I control the photo period? Leave it on 8 hrs a day? Will it toast the corals in it? Without actinic, will it look pale? I prefer to use MH in combo with T5 tubes. Are there any such combo light fixtures that are of 1.5 ft? Most of the other alternative models I saw are 24inches ones. Because of that, I am thinking of resizing my tank to 24inch x 14 x 14 so that I can have more light fixtures to consider. Last question : which nano wavemaker is suitable for a tank of this size? Will controllable one makes a lot of difference? Sorry for the plentiful questions but rather ask now than be sorry later. Would appreciate if the experts can help out here.
  20. reason i need acrylic is because i have got kids and babies at home. Sp acrylic is a better choice over glass.
