Bro I don't think you require a heater in SIN context.

Equipment wise... most are cheaper here. as i can order online from hongkong too.

Done my purchase all online...

Total damage for my equipments abt RMB10k now. Only the AI prime i bought from madpetz.

My shipment of Ca/Mg RMB5 each. My custom tank RMB600 with shipping.

2nd hand stuffs has to go cmfish.

Live Stocks here pretty much same as SG. As i'm located at Xi'An, not many LFS with good pricing.

It's pretty wild here. live shark available everywhere. piranha also can buy.

Best LFS here call 那片海. but the price also the best.

Personal fav LFS call 西安水族静海轩. They have new stock weekly.

Southern China of coz would be better.

Seems stable.. no casualty yet.

Hopefully the UAS works.

This china chiller not stable. Temp always stays between 24-25C. doubt its really 1/3HP.

Do you think 1x AI Prime alone enough?

[badsector]

Added a clam and some SPS for a week now, hopefully it won't bleach.

Still not sure how to play with the lighting colours and intensity setting yet

maybe due to the angle photo taken?

the tank height 50cm.

[badsector]

alive but the colours wasn't that great

[badsector]

white spots everywhere...what was it?

So hard to clean them off.

Those are likely spiroid worms - a harmless filter feeder.

You can clean them off with a scraper or old credit card

Keep the pictures going!!

[badsector]

maybe SG has it too.

added a cover for the skimmer collection cup.

makes it works more efficiently

ideal is for the bubbles to slide off when touching the cover and not sliding back to the skimmer

I like your placement of the monti on the top right bro.

Your tank does indeed look high, This i realise might be because your width includes the IOS filter chamber. So the cube shape looks abit odd, making the front look taller.

Nontheless, Its a beautiful and clean tank! Keep the pics coming!

This is a great isolation box, especially if one is trying to train fishes to feed on pellets or frozen food. The filters will keep the food in.

I'm not too sure wool being effective to capture ich protozoa though.

Anyway, thanks for sharing these cool gadgets
