Gave up vortech for tunze mania?

Actually if you scrup yr tank walls...you create wave already, save you a lot of money...lol...its true!

Govmen employees so fast credit bonus liao...shiok sia...you already boost the ekonomee.

yeah... This current setup is way better than Vortech actually. Guess I'm a Tunze convert :P

Have been toying ard with the idea for sometime now, thank goodness I managed to sell the Vortech or I wouldn't know how to fund these new toys. Will post more pics tonight, still have a new upgrade tt I have been eyeing for a veeeery long time and am v. happy with the purchase :)

Haha!xmas is season of giving ma~humans and fishes alike!Besides it makes you happy to see your fishes happy! :lol:

yeah! But I think better put the nano wavebox on timer. My clownfish having difficulty sleeping... prob had a sleepless night yesterday! :huh:

Btw thx to Lawrence for helping me tune up the wavebox! The waves hitting 2" when I checked this morning! Dunno if it's too strong though... will monitor and play more tonight...

SWEET!

that's a BIG toy! :D

okie... my gf's current fav coral. Bought from RD recently.

post-16489-1260192313_thumb.jpg

My coral stocking will prob be following this trend in future as my gf wants it to be more 'natural' not like tt "ugly looking thing". (my gf's term for my favourite brain corals... :( )

And about girls, it's natural lah. Just let her call what she wants and best of all, buy something she wants and she should be keeping quiet about any future corals you be buying for a long time to come! teehee (:

and also most importantly, ask her to give your corals name. My gf calls my ex-zoas "feathery flowers!" and my tubeworm "Wormy!" hahaha

Happy Reefing,

Marc J.

lol nano nano la... 6206.

My wallet has too much space, and tank not so much space to get the bigger brother.

Btw, anyone knows what the controller 6091 can do? It has master and slave ports which can control up to 2 waveboxes simultaneously. Just wondering, can it control a 6055? :eyebrow: Also wanna ask how high/vigourous should my waves be? Currently it's hitting ~2" from peak to trough.

Some pics of my new toys...

Tunze Nano Wavebox. I tuned it down to 1" wave for the time being. Gonio doesn't seem to like the strong wave, will try to let it acclimatize before going back to 2" waves.

post-16489-1260975337_thumb.jpg

Tunze nano stream 6025. Decided to get this small, efficient and relatively cheap pump to circulate water as the wavebox doesn't really help much. It only creates oscillating waves.

post-16489-1260975392_thumb.jpg

Overall, I like this setup more than my Vortech MP20. More flow, nicer waves, and think the rest of the corals love it.

Added some LED supplement to get the royal blue effect! Still can't go full LED yet as my budget doesn't allow me to be that spendthrift, but nevertheless nothing's gonna stop me from getting the crazy luminous effect! :)

post-16489-1260976100_thumb.jpg

time to see some FTS with the LED lights!! lol..

Long overdue: my updated scape... Tank's still pretty bare after selling some of my corals as they weren't in line with my gf's requirements and lost a few to stress after the rescape

post-16489-1260976340_thumb.jpg

As you can see, lots of swimming space on the RHS to cater to future fishes. As usual, will only reveal the 'best' side, the other 2 views are really still crappy <_<

Haha yeah, corals that look alive.. With the wavebox, they look even nicer now :)

Lots of parking space......

Maybe it's the new space, but my exquisite keeps flashing and swimming in the open. Same as my male lyretail. Think the 2 of them competing for bragging rights.

woot! finally a FTS!The rock at the bottom left is really nice!

Yup, I love tt rock. Too bad my tank's small, it actually looks better at other angles, but can't fit into my tank :(

Anyway... I would like to introduce everyone to the newest star in my tank. My mom loves it, my gf adores it, and I think the other fishes are getting abit jealous of all the attn it's getting. a sneak preview...

Just wondering...thot the butterfly will nip at the corals?

I believe they are relatively reef safe. They will wipe out any feather dusters, tube worms within the tank. Luckily I don't have these. And it's also currently already feeding on frozen. Chomped down on mysis immediately after adding it into the tank. Whether it nips my zoas and other corals, really have to cross my fingers. Hopefully it doesn't take to doing it. It has already taken to wiping out the only aiptasia I have in my tank. I don't see it anymore! Not sure if the copperband ate it, but I did see it swimming ard the area for some time earlier this afternoon :)

More pictures of this beauty exploring my tank. The colours are really amazing. Prob not as deep as it's companion, but I couldn't take tt one coz SOMEONE kiasu reserved it the moment it came in... :angry2: (haha btw it's feeding already, waiting for you to collect. Fairly aggressive fella, was chasing my copperband ard the tank...)

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
