wooops, hehe wrote within the quote. is it ok to use ntuc distilled ?

Is ok, but expensive. Not sure about NTUC but Cold storage has a local brand, 1.5L bottle for 85 cents.

Always something more important than fish.

where did u get it from? Looks v. neat and compact. Might consider getting it myself too! :)

from the DIY shop in shopping centres (Lot 1, BP, Yew Tee Point.)

Home DIY or something.

They have 2 size. I got the smaller one. around 1 green note.

The larger one is about 13 SGD I think.

cheato container from homefix... got price for guessing where you buy from? lol..

lol nice try.....

chance upon it and thought this might be suitable.

a bit too many holes though. Anyway will try and see how it goes.

Now the chiller return is channelled into this chaeto holder.

The holder is placed slightly above water level.

The chiller return is pointed towards the back where there is no holes. This rebound will "force" water movement within the holder & output via the holes in front.

I think the flow should be just nice.

hopefully this works.

GO GO GO ... :eyebrow:

lol no lah guys. Just a silly thought.

Will at most get a 24 x15 inch x 18 inch tank so that I can reuse my existing eqpt.

gallons should not exceed 25.

Hey Lorenzo,

your chaeto offer still stands?

lol nice try.....

chance upon it and thought this might be suitable.

a bit too many holes though. Anyway will try and see how it goes.
