eh I'll tell u guys the shop right here bah, I always get equipment there as they sell stuff super cheap - cheapest in singapore (my guess)

Its the shop near Clementi MRT, there is a 24hr LFS there.. walk along the shops and u'll get to a messy LFS which sells mainly equipments and freshwater stuffs (The shop at the end, beside a clinic) I support da people there alot :D

ADDITIONAL HARDWARE

despite all the neg. comments i still went ahead and bought the ICEPROBE, with temp. controller. My tank is est. 1feet cube, if it cant chill it down then I guess the iceprobe is a total failure. Well my water was chilled and I hope it remained chilled. I got the probe from a brother here for $180 - great buy. Thu I have not find a secure thingy to put it, i put switch my lighting hood to verticaly facin the tankfront, and daarrda!! the iceprobe fits nicely between the tank wall and the hood. But it isnt secure so hmm Anyone work on plastic stuffs? maybe can help me build a holder that hangs on my tank????!! *thanks*

ADDITIONAL LIVEWARE

hahaha guess what!! I got 3 MINI hermits.. tot they would do perfect for my tank. As I MAY consider removing my bigger hermit.. wanan keep NANO in my nano tank

And I GOTTTT DWARF PIPEFISHHHHH - dont know the exact names but they r COOL! I got 3 of them! once they got into the water dey starting swimming around! And soon after eating! Their body colour are strips of VERTICAL DARKBLUE and Orange awesome I tell u.. they are about 1.1Inch thats really a Nano pipefish!

And I got a bristlestarfish which i find SUPER HUGE.. its the size of my hand.. i think im gotta put it in another tank or sell away >_< anyone has MINI BRISTALSTARFISHY?

bro for the info

cheers

ADDTIONAL HARDWARE

as im a fan of skimmers.. heres my skimmer. As it doesnt fit in nicely to my tank back, I had to melt and cut part of it so it can fit nicely and it wont take out much space of the viewing area of the side.. yea really happy abt it. BUT i may not put the skimmer to "SKIM" mode 24 7... hmm.. ok heres the pic 1st!

[iantoh]

hey hobbes. nice looking tank. take note bout your nitrites and nitrates though ya. hhahaha. you need water changes for such a small system la. and skim more!

cheers,

ian

Hobbes,

I'm a newbie here. Care to share how think is yr glass panel of the tank? I saw 1 tank that seems to be of the same dimension as yrs, the designing also the same as yrs. Price also $68 but I din ask whether includes the pump n such or not.

I'm interested to knoe the thinkness cos I'm worried under the weight of water and stones... The whole tank can't take it?

If possible, can u share some tips on how u set up yr filtration system?

Thanks a lot...

[hobbes]

hullo maverick77!

my tank is... 6mm 15(h) x 12(w) x 18(l) Inches.

Normally ready made tanks would come in 2feet, with the same Internal Overflow System with the same design. I made my 1.5feet (0.5 feet would be my Overflow area) So I would have a 1feet cube for my display area.

6mm should be fine, esp my tank vol is very small. And I dont really stack my rocks against the glass. My rockwork is kinda like "centralise" making it possible to view from all 3 sides

Filtration system? haha. All u really need is to start off right, and everything will be fine! Before you setup your tank plan on how you will want to put ur skimmer.

Skimmer is like the liver of our human body U need it! Try to make your tank look as cool and neat as possible too, so plan ahead what equipment ur getting and maybe u could custom the tank alittle to suit ur equipment needs

I honestly think all you really need for a nano would be lights, skimmer, fan, diy topup container (on a dripper) <-- i havent done it yet.. gonna do it soon

CheeRRRRSSS!

heres the frontview of my tank i just took.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

That means the one I saw might be 2 ft... slightly bigger than yrs. I only intend to use lights, skimmer, filter... Not so sure abt cooler... Tot its suppose to be quite ex and if use fan, will cause lots of evaporation.

Actually, i'm trying to say i know nothing abt wat to put between the 2 compartments of the internal filter... If u understand wat i'm trying to say... So maybe a pic or 2 of yr internal from diff angle might help...

Well, most likely gg to get the tank from that shop... only thing to consider is the type of equipment to get...

Do u have any comments abt undergravel filter?

[hobbes]

undergravel filter system works well, but they can only last like 1.5years. AFter that u need to restart ur system.

What i put for my filtration is simple.. i did away with bioballs and ceramics.. my overflow area 1, I had wool which I change once its dirty (Got alot of wool and its cheap!) and below the wool, i added liverocks. GOOD QUALITY live rocks.. i fill it all up. Area 2 Only has the return pump. I plan to put liverocks there too.

Yep thats my filtration system. Very Bio focus Whats better than live rocks?

Cheers!

heres me... bring it on :D

[Maverick77]

Thanks for sharing the info...

Well, nice pics u have there... both of the tank and the owner...

Wonder when will I reach that stage... Thanks again...
