Anyway thanks for your help!

[kschew1498]

Another pic! Have to inverted it because the flow out to the sump tank is too slow for my outgoing pump!

Heng ah! before my Mdm comes back....or else can even talk!

[kschew1498]

[kschew1498]

Probably buy another powerful "shaking head" power head to put on the other side of the tank........

[kschew1498]

kschew,

just curious : how did u manage to get the 1HP Hailea into your car?

the last time I got mine, it was too big to get in. The shopowner had to deliver it to me in his van !!!

ke ke ke ....I see your needle wheel Macro !!!! can't wait to see the kopi -o it is going to produce !!

[Cedric]

Wow! Macro Needle Wheel skimmer!

Atman external pump!

Interesting choice of equipment you have here, but I have no doubt you have done your research and decided whats best for you!

Everything looks really cool! Do you think it will be too much trouble to have a pic of the insides of the needle wheel pump by macro? Also, The atman pump looks unique! Can I ask where you bought it and what are its specs?

Sorry for asking so much, I'm just really curious

kekeke....all purchase from China!! Hand carry .....except the bloody heavy chiller....>30kg....so air frieght in it.

Protein Skimmer is create for 800L of water.

Atman Pump 8500L ...can still maintain at >6000L at 2.5 meter height except the wattage is 200w!

Got myself another spare Atman Pump at 6500L.....reserve for my second return pump..kekeke

Here you go...the needle wheel!! Cool huh?!

[kschew1498]

By the way....the fish farm opp. Topic Marine (Pasir Ris) is selling a lot of Atman Stuff....Chiller, Protein Skimmer, Water pump, MH.....they claim they are Atman distributor.

[CalciumReef]

Bro what u need

[kschew1498]

Bro what u need

ooorrrr....ok ok I got get it tomorrow....."Five Gold Shop" (in Hokkein) should sell such stuff huh!?

Thanks....really appreciate that....or else I might find my fishy MIA.

[alanseah]

err bro kschew1498,

not to spoil the mood... but from what I know china make pump.. the flow rate is not what clam to be..

e.g. a atman pump which is 6000l/h is infact only 3000l/h only..

if dont believe u can go get a ocen runner or any german brand pump and test is out and u will see the height diff of both pump... e.g. OR 3500 l/h and atman 3500 l/h

also not to mention the wattage use... china pump r cheap but do break down very fast in the long run.. and not to mention it uses more wattage... compare to ocen runner 3500l/h only uses 65W only...

just a share of view.. no offence...

[kschew1498]

Sigh! In fact I heard this from a reefer....just a couple of hours ago when I went collecting some stuff from him......

Will see how it goes......can still change later ma....right!

Dont worry....I seek for you guys honest opinion. Shoot! no problem!

[alanseah]

ok..

just to let u know only...

or else next time when u want to cal. your flow rate in your tank.. u might have wrong cal.

[Tanggy]

hmm..... your overflow piping looks very fimiliar..... is the tank from benz??? he's the only person i know with 4 holes in his overflow laid out 2 by 2 & complicated piping work due to the layout of the holes. ke ke

Bingo!

kekeke I have make some modification to his out going pipe! 24mm outgoing outlet compare to his previous....hehe

That was why I complain to you just now (I was the one to collect the 2 power head form you this evening) that my outflow may not be fast enough for my 8500L pump if I have the durso....so I have to invert the durso....or else very noisy!

[kschew1498]

hmmm....after viewing Alan's thread on his 5 footer......am considering adding Argonite sand!???

Wonder pet mart sells them? Can anybody advise?
