Operation BBBB - Back Breaking Bare Bottom

[hamannbmw]

Alan, u make me scare... i wonder how to make a 1 inch stand for my LR, someone suggested using epoxy past on the bottom of LR (something like a chair) with a few epoxy legs, so that detritus wont trap underneath...

Jeff, thanks for yr offer... I should have enough liao

Keith, my wife also nagging.. say its family day too, and nagging me about the rescape thinggy. My little princess wan to go WILD WILD WET

Alvin, I thought of that too... really need a very steady rockscape, it rock tumble down dunno will crack the tank or not, BTW mine is 12mm

Pactrick, actually I wanted to use starboard but dunno where is selling.. some say its like chopping board. Some reefers is using arcylic but very ex leh

bro..jus ensure ur rockscape is secured can liaoz...

touch n shake every piece see whether the rock can move not..if can den adjust till it is secured...epoxy will be a trouble in the future..

After you empty out your tank, let your ger go in swim then she can be wet wet wild liao

[alanseah]

lolz... no go into the tank and jump abit to make sure nothing weak..

so QC check again...

[hamannbmw]

My daughter cannot jump in the tank lar.... very likely it will break... as fat as daddy

Btw, where to get starboard har.. weileong got lobang

[djviper]

well if u don't mind i can help all day

btw where do u stay???

[weileong]

Me no lobang but you can look for those plastic supplier in commerical guide.

Your tank got bracing right? Like that need to cut the starboard into 2 pc else cannot go in.

If you don't silicon the joins and sides then detritus will get trap and you got nutrients built up liao.

weileong, I thought u r my lobang king and also reef dictionary, in fact a few of them here can be my dictionaranian liao walau, still gotta silicon , i think drop the idea better

djviper, i'm staying in Jurong.. will PM you if i need, thanks for yr offer

[weileong]

If you can make sure the base rocks are very stable and won't topple then little chance that the rocks will crash down and cause the base to crack.

[djviper]

i think rocks crashing down won't cause the glass to break.. as the rock is in water... unless u gonna put a 15kg rock at the top which is unlikely

[planetg]

the most siong part of the entire exercise is scooping the dsb.

be mentally prepared! and also get some tools ready like dustpan for quick removal.

as for the bottom, i chose black acrylic for contrast. some people use white to reflect light upwards but i guess ti'll be glaring to look at.

cheers

[Oceandeep]

I also restart my tank, going take away all sand and put egg crate

into it....

[happy]

Hi,

I've got the big blue tub that can contain 120litres.

If you want to borrow it, let me know.

Btw, I'm staying at bedok reservoir road.

[happy]

Sorry, should be big blue barrel.

[weileong]

Planetg no problem, I already offer Simon my scoope liao.. sure very fast scoope out all the dirt in his tank.

[madmac]

Bro, 80L not enough meh. This is wat i intend to do :

1) pre mix 80L salt on Sat

2) take out all colonies put in tub, drain tank water to tub (depend on how big the tub is, maybe can hold 200L

3) balance tank water drain to 1 holding container (capacity - 180L)

4) take out all rocks , put in tub

5) remove all sand

6) add in FW, den siphon all balance sand, clean up tank

7) add in pre mixed SW

8) arrange rock scape

9) add extisting tank water in tank

10) arrange all colonies into tank

11) frags giving time

12) few cans of beer, go to bed, next morning go massage

Btw, u wanna join me..... hehehe

was jus over ur tank thread... that's quite a big tank and filled with corals. nice.!

some pointers o/v the migration if u don't mind i kpo abit

pt 2 can't be the same tub as the pt 4 where the rocks are placed

wherever the corals are placed, you need some filtration(preferably cycled one) and a chiller connected to it 6 to 8 hours (they shed lots of slime and you'll need to be careful that the slime don't cross to the other SPS... actually I'm not sure what the effects are, but I wud try avoiding it... by having some form of filtration to suck it all up - like maybe a canister)

You need much more water, I don't know how to explain except jus more water.

You may want to clean your rocks,... the rocks will be damn dirty, even when you think its clean, ... you put it in clean water again, you'll see the filth coming out again.

You want to look for containers that are wide rather than tall. as the sps can't touch each other.

get some extra epoxy and glue on standby. jus my little experience abt 4 mths back.

Wonder how you guys get the energy to do all this

For me, I back break already just by scooping out sand from my refugium

[keithtty]

Btw, where to get starboard har.. weileong got lobang

Why dun you try getting a large sheet/plate of polypropylene (PP). They come in big size, about 8mm thick. They are white in colour and chemically resistent. Are they similar to starboard?

argh.... tats a good note.. if not my tub will be filled with cloudy water

Becos I getting 2 reefers to help me , I cant do it alone.... . I'll probably built a few eggcrate stand this 2 days... As suggest by a fellow reefer, I also bought another tub of salt tis afternoon, jus in case last min insufficient.

Some fishes and tunze will be for sale soon, after Sunday

[patrick123]

Selling tunze??? I thought after going BB you should buy more tunze. Now you can create wave like no bodie's business.

[weileong]

If only things are so simple

Too many tunze in the tank not so nice, so upgrade to stronger one lor

[hamannbmw]

I have 2 X 6060 in the tank now, bought a 6080 yesterday and TS24 today.. so likely i'll sell off 1 -2 tunze

[weileong]

2x6060 = 12,000

6080 = 8,000

TS24= 24,000

Total: 44,000 L/H

110x turn over
