Blueheaven's 4ft Tank

[blueheaven]

Ok, I have 2 skimmers in my consideration now

One is the monster Beckett BK

Another is the Deltec AP850

What a hard decision to make. I better focus on my studies first and then I can ponder all I want

looking good blue

AP850 replaced with AP851 already

Difference is the bigger collection cup.

[blueheaven]

I am still considering but more veered towards the Beckett BK

Anyway, I did a small mod to my current skimmer be adding a plastic tube at the top so that the foam flows down

Working nicely so far

[blueheaven]

My FR really cropped up today

Remember I was telling weileong about the grey rowas?

Here's what it looked like after I dismantled it today

Some ppt

[blueheaven]

I suspected it could be CaCO3 precipitation so I placed some into vinegar (acid)

My suspicions were confirmed

[blueheaven]

More bubbles

Now I'll have to see why there is precipitaion in my FR

[blueheaven]

Just ordered my DI unit and a litre of rowa

Hope this time, such event will not happen again

[blueheaven]

Any idea why this happens?

No wonder I need to tune up my CR to keep the kH in check

[weileong]

Did I ask you to check for precipitaion the other time?

[blueheaven]

Hmm can't remember.

But why does this happen? I don't want to make the same mistake again

Thanks bro

So it means that I am not letting enough flow through my FR. Will increase the flow once my new can of rowa arrives.

[blueheaven]

The mod to my Beckett is really making me smile with glee

[blueheaven]

Missed the delivery of my DI unit and rowaphos today

Got extra classes in school all the way up to 9pm

Seems like its only going to come tomorrow

[blueheaven]

New toy

[blueheaven]

Comes with an inline dual TDS meter

Still figuring out how to operate this, I wonder whether it can be fitted permanently on the DI

[blueheaven]

These are the probes

The instructions are very vague and I had never seen such probes before

[blueheaven]

The DI unit came with this copper adapter which I couldn't find anything that fits into it. Any idea how I can fix up this part?

[blueheaven]

Here's a digitata from Vincent

According to him, it will become really nice once it colours up

My percula desperate for a host

[bloodlamb]

The brass adapter is for you rtap. There should be a inner ring under the tap sprout that you can take out to fit that in i guess. My DI have a bypass valve on that part so that I can choose to pass water throught tap/DI.

I need some help quick!!!

My chiller caused a blackout yesterday night while I was asleep and till now, it had stopped working and tripped the MCB when it is on.

I need a replacement chiller fast while I get it fixed or I get a new one.

Anybody know where I can get a chiller right now?

I've noticed the orange millepora and the purple rim monti had started to RTN.

Pls help!!!
