great to place at the window side...your chiller can blow the hot air out easily...but u may have the direct/indirect sunlight coming in to fuel nuisance algae....

bo bian. only place where I can place tank leh.

do more work during weekend scrubin the algae..

[roidan]

yeah...pros and cons...

but i suggest if u find really sunlight fueling nuisance algae next time...u can change the window curtain...the translucent curtain you can change to the type that is also white/cream based but opaque as they may have a silvery side towards the outside, leaving you to see the cream/white colour from your hall...and yet retain the nice floral curtain layer currently

[bwilly]

any suggestion -

I getting a MD55 pump, adding a better skimmer.

Anything particular to note on clearance on the sump and cabinet?

The sump I hear has to drill a hole to cater for the MD55 pump..

[roidan]

anyway, if u place your IOS on the right. you may want to leave a gap between the tank and the windows on the right side in case you need to do some unforeseen work on the IOS itself...

if you push the tank all the way to the right...then you can only access your IOS from the front plane of the glass...and then will make you have problems reaching the bottom of your IOS if you need to reach it...

so make sure you have space for you to stand directly beside your IOS section and reach into it....

[roidan]

aiyah....this bro Roidan....always say put near window not good.....

don't know his refigium that time kenna hair algae even though not near window.... then quickly go and reserved Sally Lightfoot.....

eh AP,

really put near windows are to be avoided if possible for avoidance of direct/indirect sunlight, if there are other better locations, this is a known fact of aquairum hobby, not only marine lah....

and sorry hor....the refugium algae was wrongly identified as hair algae, in fact it's just a stringy algae that even tangs like to eat....get your facts right especially since the ID has been confirmed that it's NOT hair algae

and i got the crabs is to clean my clam shells clean...

i did not use them for my main system, tank or sump...haha

[Achilles Tang]

Congrats bro!

Need any help? I wish to return the favor after being shot by you during the last paintball session!

[roidan]

this was when AT and I wrongly thought it was hair algae (Feb 15)

http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?...ic=7509&st=1900

here is the real identity (Feb 17)

http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?...ic=7509&st=1965

i do not have hair algae till now and i do not want it to appear...

torlong you lah..dun just know the first half of the story, 2nd half dunno what happen and then out of nowhere say in bwilly's thread that i bought crabs to control hair algae....

firstly i got no hair algae, and secondly the crabs are to clean my clams....

so u got it totally wrong...*shake head*
