SRC Member poomoon Posted January 5, 2010 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hi All, finally back. Was out on a 3-week vacation, parents arrived in SG after coming back, and when they left, my sister's family arrived. Now i'm free again. Anyway just to update, was already able to cycle my nano, thanks to Victor's help on the NSW and Live Rocks. Will be posting some pics soon itching to stock up !

SRC Member poomoon Posted January 5, 2010 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 5, 2010 lol yeah. just maintain the tank well and she will forget all about the noise I promise. i've completed putting in the thermal tapes between the fans and the heatsink for the maxspect, and after running, it is really quiet. but dang, really bright i don't have the mounts yet, so still have them in box first. she already asked me 'isn't that too bright', maybe you should have gotten a smaller one.

The clip ones or hanging kit? Also I forgot if you are using 110 or 60W?

jackywongto Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 can't hang, can't drill on the wall in her condo. so will be the clip ones. using 110. when you bought the lights, it does not come with the clip? If you want, you can take mine and use it 1st. (mine is unused and kept in storeroom) just ask Razali to pass me yours later.

SRC Member poomoon Posted January 5, 2010 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 5, 2010 bros, my nanostream 6025 is still too strong, like a storm in my nano. so might decide to take it out. any recommends ? Quote 25 Gal Micro Ocean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member poomoon Posted January 5, 2010 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 5, 2010 point it at a glass wall and upwards? thanks bro comy. i actually just did, placed it somewhat below corner and blowing up diagonally against glass. checking out now, though not sure i'd like it down near the sand now. tried pointing up against glass across and sure thing caused some heavy waves, open top so caused some splatters ...

Hard to suggest without seeing your scaping. the sand might get stirred a little initially but will settle down after some time. 6025 should be ok for your tank I think (but I have nvr tried one).

Try to angle it so tt it hits rock, wall and pointed upwards to create lots of surface agitation. tt way most of the power is actually lost at the surface.

Suggest to use this at your own risk I guess, coz will prob void warranty. Quote My old 3ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
