Nice bro... I notice u have that Ammonia alert thingy on your glass... is it useful?

[colinsoon]

i got it second hand, so i dunno if it still works, cos i read somewhere that it has an expiry date...

but so far haven seen it change colour yet.. cos if i do, think i am gonna panic.. haha..

[hammerhd]

bro what lights are you using now?

[chucky]

bro yur reef reli pac..so u sitll interested the cynarina???

[colinsoon]

oooohhhh yess!!! the cyna!! totally forgot bout it...

[raydiative]

bro... was ur tank temp?? wad lights you using??

[colinsoon]

right now using 4 x 14W white, 2 x 14W blue. not strong enough i guess, as my corals are still not colouring well, except for the stars.... my GSP is brown.. ARGHH!!!

[colinsoon]

oh ya, my tank temp is at 26.. now running a CL280...

[Tigger]

Bro, I notice the hammer seems to lose its colour too. Think u need to do something abt it, becos from my experience, it will slowly waste away in a matter of months. It could be yr light. Just guessing only.

[colinsoon]

all the LPS are still growing well, with more heads forming, but then, the colors are fading. i will be changing lights soon. i am gonna have my exams, no time to diy anything... any suggestions as to wat i can do in the meanwhile? like add addictives or something...? i am adding reef complete by seachem now. will adding phytoplankton help?

[colinsoon]

nobody....?

[jervismun]

Yes adding a good quality Phytoplankton is gonna be beneficial to every LS in the tank. I am currently using DT and Aquaz. DT is only for special day since it's much more expensive Just pour in a bit will do... I usually do half cup.

[colinsoon]

its not that bad rite.. everything opening up pretty well, counted the hammer heads this morning, ever since intro till now, addition of 4 new completed formed heads already.. new branch formed too...

though i lost a head of torch due to insufficient space..

[jervismun]

Nice... except maybe for the yellow sun coral in front... how come so "botak"?

[colinsoon]

haha.. cos its juz a temp place i am putting it... the nice part is facing inside...

Hi,

May I know your chiller CL280 one day kick on how many times? How is the power consumption? Thanks.

[colinsoon]

i set it at 25, so it kicks in at 27, and about 20 min off, 10 min on lidat. i din really go take note of it...

Thanks for the info.

BTW, say your sump tank in the thread. May I know the L X W X H of the sump tank? Also where do you make it and how much does it cost?

Thank you.

[colinsoon]

the sump is 2x1x1. 3 compartments. i got it from a bro here second hand, so i got no idea how much it costs to be made. think should be 60++

Thanks, as I'm going to make a sump tank for my 2 footer too. Hope your chiller is ok as I've read your other thread.

[colinsoon]

its quite bad. water level droppin in my sump tank like a stock exchange. and my exams 5 more days. going nuts.

[jervismun]

Wow... sump for 2 footers... I guess it offers much more room to put all the equipments right? Wah bro Soon, ur chiller kicks in every 20 minutes? Em... sounds like very frequent to me. What's ur total water volume and how much can ur chiller support? Quite major power consumption

[colinsoon]

its actually quite frequent, cos the tank is in my hostel room, and its situated right beside a fridge, and on top of it, its set at 25, and my room is quite hot... everything add up, i think its quite ok la, it kickin in every 20 min... anyway i dun hafta pay for the electrical bills, so who cares.. hahah..
