peacemaker's Office Nano 3

[albinosage]

Came across this frag rack that was posted in Nano-Reef (photos courtesy of schg) that is commercially available in US. I like it due to its slick look, and that it can be placed in the corner with stability.

I checked up the price on that, shipping alone to sg was like USD$45!

DIYed my own... nothing close to the workmanship of the above, plus I'm using the Magfloat, which is very bulky. If anyone knows where to buy strong magnets, pls kindly PM me?

NICE ToY haha!i like blue also....faster go set up and take pic

Bro, already up and running! Just went directly for the purple mode (can't remember was it Reef Crest or Lagoon), didn't have time to mess with the other modes.

From a tried and tested scientific method known as agaration. Basically you see how high and low the knob goes and then you agar agar tune it to whichever level you please

For the wave effect, use short pulse mode (blue light). Jacky taught me that, we both use it at the longest interval. If you are a noob like me who lost the manual, basically in Jacky's own words:

1. Turn knob to whichever flow you want and leave it there (before switching to short pulse mode), then press mode (black button) repeatedly until you get the blue light.

2. Press set (grey button) once, the blue light should start blinking, after that, turn the knob to tune to whichever interval you want (turn clockwise for longer interval and vice versa), then press set again to lock the setting. The light should blink alternately between green and blue now, that means it is operating under your setting.

Hope that helps. Hit me up with an sms if you are as confused as I was hahaha.

Ah... very cool. I skipped reading the manual... so yea.

Wouldn't it be more economical if we can bulk build this locally instead? It really is an acrylic sheet with a couple of strong magnets. Of course, we should include the acrylic frag plugs...

We need to find out the mould costs if we want to build this locally. Typically mould costs are ard a couple of 100s. Also strong earth magnets are not that cheap either.

I was thinking of using thin acrylic sheets instead of the thick type shown in the pic. The problem lies with the acrylic rods. Using those air-line tubes will be more economical, but joining them together will be tricky.

Haha... kinda recycling some excess acrylic sheets lying around. They were heading to the dump, and I picked them up, gave a good wash before reusing them. I use an acrylic sheet cutter, similar to the photo below. Its used like a penknife, slicing a few times before breaking it over the edge of the table. However, you might need to file the edges flat. I use a Dremel tool for this.

[peacemaker]

Depending on what you want, and if you don't mind my poor workmanship, I can help you out.

[peacemaker]

Sounds exciting already! I believe I left before you shared this...

Unfortunately, tools belong to my Co., so... but do feel free to let me know if there's anything I can help you with.

[DUCADOS]

I believe the tools can be purchase right?

But do u have any idea where sell it?

M I right to say it's more for thin acrylic? Too thick wan cannot right?

[peacemaker]

You can find the acrylic sheet cutter in normal hardware stores. I wouldn't use it to cut more than 4mm thickness though...

[DUCADOS]

Thanks bro for the above info

Hahaha... that's freaking nuts! It would have been more efficient using a coping saw in your case.

Yes yes! Join in the DIY fun! I enjoy this hobby immensely, not just on keeping a reef, but due to the unlimited possibilities on DIYing stuff and getting the "toys" for your tank!
