A Little Tank Update

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

eh...mid life is the prime man....

blue pill still long way to go mah

next time can pass your inheritance to your Roidan Jr....waiting for the big day.....

[roidan]

to be exact probably having the mid life crisis of the mid life crisis....haha

before earning big money think of retirement liao.... better migrate to somewhere else and have a 20ft tank like some US reefers....

no inheritance to speak off lah...even if have, probably only the reef tank...

pass on to roidan jrs ah...hope so lor..but by then you already passed on to AP's jrs' jrs liao...hehe.ooops...ok..

back to topic...paiseh divert till chilli crabs and then this...

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

yeah lor Topic can sure drift into something else.....

Slurp....want to have larger then life tank like the ones in US man... But first must strike toto then can buy landed property and convert basement into the sump and the first floor into main tank.

don't think you will see me leaving my home after that.....

[roidan]

ok..back to topic...

have you decided when to dismantle the redsea ozonizer?

or it's totally maintenance free ah....from what i know sometimes have to clean the internal parts as maintenance

i know i have to clean my sanders ozonizer one day..but scared open liao..dunno how to put back properly

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

dismantle the ozonizer? as long as theres dry air passing through it's good as new. Once when you dismantle something like that....it hardly ever works again properly....

AT dismantled his (not the RedSea though) and he could not get it to work properly again....let alone putting it back as it was.....

[roidan]

there are a few methods that ozonizers use to produce ozone..some have to do regular maintenance of some parts inside the ozoniser to get rid of dirt...

u can push dry air through the ozoniser...but dirt will slowly coat the internal components...this is what i am concerned about...

but maybe just leave it lah hor...dun fix what's ain't broken..

what you say is true about dirt coating the internal parts of the ozonizer but it's another thing tearing it apart....unless we have hands on experience in the mechanical field....he..he

This piece of machine doesn't come cheap though and besides the instructions say nothing about dismantling the unit to cleanse it of dirt but i welcome someone to try it though..... Enough proof from AT's experience to put me off from that.....he..he

What ozonizer brand is yours by the way?

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

my chiller should arrive soon as i am scouting for better prices together with my lights.

At last my dream tank will be fulfilled..... Intend to do a mixed reef and SPS as a focal point in the middle of the display....

Rescaped for SPS later.....

Sis, which chiller you planning to get? Seems like a lot of ppl are either upgrading chiller or buying new :-)

I was confused in the begining after reading so many recommendations and currently at crossroads with Pacific Coo but might sway to Artica as I read superb reviews in Reef Central......

Probably will get DBM - 250

[AlfaRomeo]

DBM-250 is the 1/2 Hp model rite?

[Maxima]

DBM-250 is the 1/2 Hp model rite?

It is 1/3HP only..........cooling equivalent to 1HP...maybe more.....

[AlfaRomeo]

Wah, so powerful... excellent choice AP

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

Wah, so powerful... excellent choice AP

Thanks bro Alpha....don't know many reefers having this...so decided on the Artica.....just as long as it can cool my tank this terrible heat nowdays....

[weileong]

[weileong]

Does that looks similar to "suncool" ???

Really looks like the home aircon unit.

Hey the price is not bad if the local distributor can provide this price, can consider hor. Then just put in outside the house pple thinks it's an aircon

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

that one looks like home air-con.....sure can use ah?......

in that case must go for the most and like bro Roidan say keep penguins or six gill shark....
