Finally, I have shifted contents from my 2'x1.5'x1.5' tanks to another set of tanks due to change in location to put tanks, hence am letting go the followings : - 2 units of almost new (cleaned and like new) 2'x1.5'x1.5' bare tanks only. Take both at $25 nett. (Note** : You can view tanks in AMK. Upon payment, will send you together with tanks to your place's carpark in TPY, Bishan, AMK, Yio Chu Kang area) - 1 unit of 2ft OHF. Pump is in-water type. : $5 only. - Black quartz sand : 10kg pack, new and un-opened. $10 only. Last 2 items collection in AMK. FCFS. PM me your contact for faster co-ordination.

Anyone has 1 to let go, or knows where and how much for new ones, pls PM me. It is for my 2ft tank.

I still cannot figure out how an overrated chiller can save on cost of electricity. My view is that, though I agree that bigger capacity chiller brings down temperature at faster rate, but consuming higher power in the shorter period of time it is running, the rise in temperature (when chiller is off) is identical to whatever size of chiller used as the chiller is off and is only dependent on the very same content of the tank and the ambient temperature. For example, the same tank will take the same amount of time to raise from 25 degrees to 27 degrees irregardless of chiller as it will be off during this period of time. Hence the chiller stop time should be same. In fact, if you extrapolate and plot a chart of the chiller's start/stop frequency over a day, you will find that the chiller actually runs more frequently, ie, shorter run time to chill from 27 to 25 degrees, same period of chiller off time for temperature to rise from 25 to 27 degrees, then chiller start again. These more frequent start/stop cycle will expedite chiller worn-out. I can agree it is good to just 1 size over-rate the chiller, but overly oversized will have reverse effect. I am still trying to figure out the justification of 'overrate chiller save cost in long run'. Kindly advise if my understanding above is not correct. BTW, I used a 0.5HP for my 5 footer+sump and 1/6HP for 3 footer.

Anyone has the above to give away, kindly PM me. Thanks and cheers.

That piece of crystal red shrimp (CRS) mentioned is probably not the highest you will come across for good grades. Cannot be compared as suggested in this thread as CRS as graded. Grades can range from very low C grade (S$2.40 @ at current lfs market prices) to very high grades of Mosura which is very sought after and rare. There are at least 7 grades just for such CRS. Further, very low probablilty and success raising of such high-grade offsprings even from high-graded CRS parents will dictate the market value of such grades of shrimps. Marine shrimps are never graded and same specis of shrimps almost always looks alike. These CRS shrimps are the current craze of Japan. Everyone will know anything in Japan when it is the craze, $ value knows no bound. CRS has a life span of around 1.5 years with tight water parameters control and breeding (genes) management. However, if you can breed them successfully, the payback from investment is there. Hope info helps offer some lights to discussion.

Thanks pal. Though I no longer have a marine tank (at least for now) due to work, I still very fancinated by SH. Very graceful creatures. Will be freeloading around here enjoying other hobbyists' tanks. Sure, look forward to seeing your energised return to SH. Cheers.

Hi chinmo, still remember me ? 1-time SH siow too. A hobbyist giving up his SH. URL attached herein : http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=50821

Thanks for all responses and PMs. Received the info with thanks. You guys/gals are really speedy and helpful. Cheers .

Hi, anyone have contacts for chiller servicing and gas-topup, kindly PM me. I used to have the contact of 'Derrick' who serviced Pac Cool chiller but somehow misplaced the name card. Anyone knows him, kindly PM me his contact again. Thanks

Thanks to all PM. I replied all already. Pls note that I will bring my PH7.0 calibration fluid to test it before confirm buying. Reason why I insist to test before confirm buying is that I recently bought a test pen from a forumer who'd claimed it is working. I trusted him and bought it based on his words without testing. Upon testing at home, found that the test pen is way out of reading and impossible to be re-calibrated. This forumer then claimed 'item sold' are on 'buyer beware' basis. . I am not blaming anyone since I did not test it before buying. However, anyone offering test pen to me, please confirmed the test pen you are selling is in good working condition to at least avoid both of us wasting time/efforts, and me hard-earned money. Anyone knows where I can buy new test pen at reasonable prices (no need branded ones, below $40 preferably if any), kindly let me know via PM. Thanks in advance.

Anyone has 1 to let go, pls PM me : 1. Brand and your selling price 2. How long in use 3. Where to collect 4. You contact Anyone knows which lfs selling cheap, kindly PM me too. Thanks and cheers.

Nice. Ti-coloured.

What is 'eagle's eye' zoo ? If you can show a pic of how it looks like, maybe hobbyist may know if they have in their tank.

Me too just need 1 2028 filter.

I interested in 1 set of the 2028 filter.

What is the flowrate of the 2224 and 2217?

Anyone have above to let go, pls PM me. Just looking for a no-frill PH pen. Pls state brand, duration of use and price.

Thanks chuck_D. Let talk via PM. anyone have a set to let go, kindly PM me too.

PMs replied. Still looking, anyone have a set to let go ? thanks.

Thanks for info. Will check them out.

I find 3 types to me favorite (not in ranking) : Maggie Curry favour : noodles very springy, curry favour just right for me. Myojo Ramen 100% spicy : noodle texture nice with tasty bland of favouring. Kim Chi Korean noodles : Very nice soup. I don't work for noodle shop. Just that travel very frequent and survived on such things .

All PMs replied. Just need a simple PH pen and/or a small chiller such as Resun CL280 will be ok. Anyone has a unit not needed, kindly PM me.

PMs replied. I just need a simple auto water top-up system similar/same as Tubby will do. Anyone have a unit that no longer needed, kindly PM me.

Good idea, Chuck_D. Mind to PM me instructions and what are the things required, especially the control part ? I know the float switches and pump part. Else, if anyone giving up or a spare system to let go, pls PM me too.

Anyone knows where I can get 1 and price, kindly PM me too. thanks.
