How you identify it as bam bam? Colour or pattern? :thanks:

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

Thanks bro, was using your tank as reference (and lesson on what not to do - when your tank crashed ). Thanks for taking the time to reply my queries regarding the 24G nanocube too. BTW, I insta

Tunze 9002 nano skimmer, everything fits nicely into the back except the collection cup which is about 9 to 10cm in diameter :( Will canibalise the bulky skimmer cup and fit a tupperware onto it this weekend :P

FTS after I fiddle around with the scaping this weekend la, very unstable now, the snails are knocking things all over.

I'm not worthy of the compliments leh. Whatever I know is learnt from this nano reef sub forum from people like yourself. I'm spending a bit more $ and effort on this set up cos I know that I won't be able to get a bigger tank due to space issues... this 24G will be accompanying me for a long time so I gotta make it work. :P

LEDs not yet installed :)

I prefer to focus my "fake" macro shots manually. When you shoot up close to the tank, the tank light is so bright and that means less contrast for the auto focus to lock. Anyway, all these snapshots shoot for fun one, I don't really mind the imperfections :P

As long as the subject is in the frame... Nice US zoas... Yellow ones :wub:

1ft cube with IOS [the low tech tank]

1. JBJ C-breeze to keep temp hovering around 27-28'C

2. LED clip on - 120 bulbs

-skimmer-less-

My 3 humble equipments that keeps my tank running... [DRIED OUT]

1. The RSM itself of course 2.My NEW Deltec MCE-300 Skimmer 3. My trusty Arctica Chiller

Tank parameters:

Temperature maintained at 25.3'C to 24.7'C

No3: 10ppm(b4 the use of the deltec skimmer)

No3: 5ppm (after use of the skimmer)

Others? too lazy to measure...LOL

Yuma morphs into yet another colour on a rainy afternoon :lol:

post-15730-1239527250.jpg

Anyway, does anyone know what to do if a submersible pump's wire is melted with the copper exposed? Can it be replaced by any electrician or would silicon and crossed fingers work as well in water proofing? :D

wa ur yuma bery nice lehz
Yummy Yuma. Very Nice... :)

Thanks :eyebrow:

It's the same purple/orange yuma in the earlier pages, when I saw the colours, I quickly grabbed the camera. Finally captured the greenish turquoise tentacles which I saw at the farm. I guess if I wanna appreciate these colours, I must camp in front of the tank on every afternoon at 4pm if it rains - or upgrade my lighting :P

Pictures of my skimmer as requested :)

My 70 cents skimmer cup mod with the original cup for size comparison:

Will start using the skimmer next weekend after the silicon cures. The cup is not pretty, but it is a cheap alternative to a $85 custom cup until I find a more permanent solution :P

Looks cute! Its not going to be air tight right? You might wanna consider making a couple of holes on the lid for pressure release. ^_^

Yah, didn't have time to work on the cover. Would be drilling some holes and adding a dome shaped disc to the inside cover to act as a deflector for the bubbles. :P

Thanks, but won't be starting it up so soon, wanna wait till silicon dries completely, and need to water proof the wire, there's a tear near the skimmer pump :)

Hi

Maybe you can drill a hole on the side of the cup (near to the top edge) and connect a small tube into a external cup... just in case the small cup over fills

waa super nano ???

nice colour morph for ur yumas.. =)

Hahaha, yah lor, hard to find good skimmer for nano tanks with hood, have to take things in my own hands sometimes.

This is the $8 yuma rock I told you about lor, 12 to 15 polyps, but only 4 or 5 of them are this colour now. Seems to have a yellow or green yuma sprouting out too. :yeah:

Thanks for the tip, will try that after a trial run with this set up! I was starting to wonder how many days/hours it will take to collect 100ml of skim mate :P
