jervismun Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 really need to let us know the wonder of artica nano =)i thought u will get the 1/10 at least Well... after detecting 33ºC (in other words the amount of heat the pumps generate)... I will probably go for a larger chiller... good news though Just happen that there's a piece of used Mini Arctica 1/15 lying around at Aquamarine, I brought it back... will give it a try... and let you guys know the result... then I can decide to stick to a 1/15 or upgrade to a 1/10 Perfect plan!

jervismun Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Just picked a nice piece... but the stench was so unbearable after a couple of hours (probably due to the high temperature and high flow area)...

jervismun Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 What happen was... the water level at the back compartment fell by a few centimetres... all becoz of a clogged sponge That sponge (provided by Red Sea) is still quite clean I discarded that useless piece of sponge right away The blackness you see is mainly from the activated carbon (provided by Red Sea) 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...
