Development of my 3x2x2.5 tank

[ryz]

[ZeRoC00l]

Weird

Correct me if i'm wrong but i thought the water level should be ard the mid point of the elbow down???

In yr pix, all yr durso have different height

Confused 0.2cent reefer

[lvcap]

i scared sudden burst so some high and some low...

to cover the effects if suddent too much flow..anyway..the area not enuff to accomodate all 3 at same hgt...

[DeepBlue]

so how is it working???curious too,cuz u it seems like u can control the water level

[lvcap]

the eye got a black slash...but yellow dots...hmm...doesnt seem so..

[lvcap]

yah..i can control the water level in my oveflow and thus my sump loh..with the 3 durso...

cos i got taps below to control...

whatever type of pump i use...shld be no issue...too much flow i open bigger...too little..i clam up a bit more..

[DeepBlue]

slash doesnt look long enuff....it is only at the eyes...its a brazilian

Royals look like that

[lvcap]

icic...

so must tell victor liao..

whahah

i had tot it was royal....

maybe he also kenna dua by his suppliers...

[lvcap]

but the balck dot at the top fin..brazillian also got?

mine used to have longer slash....but let if suffer in a tub for 2 weeks...and now reduce feeding..like colour less vibrant and slash shorter...

wahah

mabe my imagination..

[DeepBlue]

maybe....with proper aclimatisation...they could come back.......

anyway...brazilian gramma also has the black dot....mine has

[lvcap]

good one Db..

whahahh

i remember it has a longer slash...but the yellow dots...dun remmeber seeing them....

hope it comes back...

[Dispar_Anthias]

Its definately a braziliansis...... colour desn't look luminous and shiny enough to be that of a royal.....

[lvcap]

new addition.....paired harlequin shrimps...

[typrobin]

love your super kiasu kiasi durso...might incorporate that in my next tank...hahhahaa...

[lvcap]

hi typrobin..

my kiasu kiasi method good for upgrading of pumps...u can use bigger and stronger pumps anytime n not worry abt overflowing water in the main tank..

i am still battling with my resun chiller...

managed to get it down to 27 but still kick in too often..

tried eveyrthing from tuning flowrate of pump to returning main tank/sump..

still losing...

[limsh1999]

Me, facing the same problem also. I am using CL-0500 (0.5 HP). Likewise, tweak the flow using tee off but in vain. After all, able to achieve set temperature and power consumption no noticeable surge. Should there is a solution, please share.

[alanseah]

I have just finish re-do my piping and I do have 2 doso too.. it's more of prevent flooding and also if one gatta chok at least still got one working..

by the look of your doso u r running on 2 x 25mm and 1x13mm right..??

which can handle a overflow of about 7000l/h

[lvcap]

my durso..super kiasu one..

30mm, 25mm n 20mm

i am not using full flow of cos...all semi flowing...

[Terryz_]

new addition.....paired harlequin shrimps...

Cute!!!!!!!

[lvcap]

haha...thx terryz.....pity u gave up for the time being...

sure u will come back one day with a superb looking tank..

wanna go Ml on sat?

gonna collect my long resident clam back..paiseh to trouble Henry so long..

[RAV-65]

Look good bro.... seems like u got tons of equipments too! Love the clean look of new tanks.... Keep the phosphates in control, if not very soon got algae all over liao...

[Ekia]

haha...thx terryz.....pity u gave up for the time being...

gonna collect my long resident clam back..paiseh to trouble Henry so long..

everytime i go there... i see your nice clam...

[lvcap]

i bet u seen the green bubbles....too bad it died....wasted that one...super chio....

been trying to hunt for a replacement....gf bugging me liao...

tons of equipment?

no lah...i dun have a CR...using Kalkwasser to maintain my Ca level...

very lucky....my LR all turned super red after 1 week or so....

seems like T5 does wonders too...

current parameters:

pH 8.0

kH 7.0 (double edged sword....the coraline algae do eat them fast)

NH3 <0.5

NO2 0.01

NO3 2.5-5.0

Ca 520 (evaporation too fast and hence the kalk is being topped up daily at alarming rate)

PO4 0

Mg 1500

my kuku tank just caused a trip in my house....forced me to get urgent leave to handle it...most likely culprit: the Resun MD 55

i dint change the plug and hence connected to an unfused socket...

anyone for LFS walkabout in afternoon?
