My humble feet tank

[Pterois volitan]

[monsterz1975]

Wow it so beautifull.

[flamey]

bubble mania....

very nice.. species tank

[tineng]

super cool tank....they should have more TOM winners that are NOT SPS based.....

and who say weipro skimmer can't make it!!!

[Pterois volitan]

haha... i dont know... to me.. the output of the pump for the skimmer more important than the design of the skimmer.

I try to keep this hobby as low cost and simple as possible.. Gives me the satisfaction!

[Pterois volitan]

Here are some of the non-bubbles corals..

my branched hammer clusters

My roti prata. quite hardy despite a few unfortunate accidents. Managed to nurse it back to health. .. think the angle of the camera makes it look a bit slanted...

Now for my humble hardwares ... Think most of you guys here will surpass me in terms of technology and equipment feel so embarassed to be showing it.

-blue pipe up the main tank

-green pipe down from main tank thru chiller. Works on gravitational pull so that I do not need an extra pump. planned such a way that water doesnt overflow out when there is blackout.

-and of course the skimmer

Here are some of the non-bubbles corals..

is that a true octopus??hehe...

[Alvin Tan]

sorry... ...jus wan 2 noe..if a DYMAX 4000l/hr pump is enough to use for the main tank and a weipro skimmer 2011???currently using a sump..

[Pterois volitan]

and of course.. my sump only has enough space for two pumps.. sobz sobz... dont even have space for anything else... sobz

white tubing is from a jerry can that i use as a manually operated dripper. DIY.

[Pterois volitan]

hmm... think it should be enough. mine is only a 4000l/H pump for my main tank.. *did i remember it correctly?*

As for the skimmer, i believed the weipro 2011 is shorter in height than my 2012? if yes.. think 4000l/h too powerful..

of course thats only my opinion.. can ask the more experienced reefers around..

[Alvin Tan]

hmmz..i was just afraid that my pump will b under powered...if it is necessary..i will hav another additional pump 2 power up the weipro 2011..

[Pterois volitan]

and my simple dripper.

[Pterois volitan]

haha... i see.. i only use Dymax 2500l/h for my weipro 2012. So if your skimmer is bigger, then should use a bigger pump..

*not really sure about which model if bigger or smaller, havent been walking around LFS for quite a while liao... *

[Alvin Tan]

oh...tt means i can conclude that it is enough..hehe...planning 2 get one in my b'dae frm my parents..hehe...as a b'dae present...cos my current skimmer is normal...i wan 2 upgrade it so tt perhaps i can drag till 3 wks 4 a 15% water change...currently...i hav been changing water every 2 wks...if a bigger skimmer can drag till 3 wks...y nt invest on one rite?hehe..wad do u tink??izzit a gd idea?

[Pterois volitan]

sounds good.

But i think a bigger skimmer doesnt necessary mean can drag three weeks before a water change.. cause still got all those nitrates and stuff.. dont think any skimmers can fully remove all the waste before they get decompose into nitrates etc.. also depends on other factors such as stocking levels etc..

just a thought!

[yiling]

[Alvin Tan]
