SRC Member colinsoon Posted April 1, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 1, 2006 probably can use egg crates... juz use your current LR, but egg crates beneath, stack the LR over, can create 2 piles lor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmz, are eggcrates that stable? Actually i prefer using all LRs ,can hole more beneficial bacteria too. But of course, packing the LRs too tightly will restrict flow between them. Ah well, save up save up save up! If i don't, my new tank might never come. Oh, is there a 5FT max restriction on fish tanks sizes for hdb apartments?

jervismun Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I heard u need to apply for approval for tanks larger than 4"... but hey a lot of bros' tanks larger than that and a lot of them... u know lah! U can also consider PVC tubes for stacking LR. I also thinking of that coz too much LR also can be overkill and less large caves area. Since my new tank doesn't rely on LR too much for filtration. Will let u know if I can come up with something... err... genius? lol Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Qxnviolet Posted April 2, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 2, 2006 LoL....be sure to....trying to do research before i start my new tank, the current one almost everything is touch and go....luckily it has stabled down already. Hrmz, if i were to put a sheet ot arcylic on the tank bottom before i lay my LRs/substrate on it, will it be ok cause the arcylic will somehow protect the glass on the bottom of the tank?

I think it's ok, but make sure it's laid entirely flat and maybe a bit of sealant to avoid stuff sipping in later... what's ur concern actually? u going BB?

SRC Member Qxnviolet Posted April 2, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 2, 2006 NoNo....haha, just for additional protection of the bottom glass panel. Heard alot of benifits about going BB but i still prefer abit of substrate in my tank. Will proberbly go for Grade 0 sand below and a layer of grade 1 sand on top. Currently i only have grade 0 sand in my tank, they get stirred up pretty easily.

If you have sand protecting against falling LR, why another layer of acrylic? That will be 1g less water for your tank, lol.

Terryz_ Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I am having plenum for my current tank... Seems like okay to me... It is making sure that the sandbed is kept in an aerobic condition so that it will not produce the poisonous hydrogen sulphide... I wouldnt wan to start a debating topic here as DSB and Plenum have their own group of supporter... Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
