  1. my 'on the floor marine tank' ..... AT, no space to make an in built wall tank... so i made use of an extra shelf and made mine into an inbuilt shelf tank...
  2. pic of kecik (means small in malay).... the nottier of the two... any new fish/inverts come in, hes the first to harrass them ( my old tomato clown enjoyed picking on him )
  3. just another pic of my hermit and one of my fish
  4. fire shrimp hiding below the rocks.. to dark to get a pic of him... coincidently he molted at the time i was taking pics... so heres a partial pic of my shrimp
  5. my starfish.. donno what breed.. cannot find online.. can someone tell me ?

  7. wow, 2 months and already quite packed with corals... guess im gonna venture into it soon!
  8. ive spent a few hrs searching thru the list and searched thru liveaquaria.com for their pics and more info. those who wants the list can pm me
  9. i think interest will still be there, but price sure go up up up...........
  10. i gave the tomato back to the lfs cause it almost killed one of my african clown, i just felt like saying it.... didnt know others went thru it before as well
  11. i hate to say this but i still dont understand... hahaha gonna read up from the site wedgee gave to me... dont understand the relation between calcium and alkalinity, if theres any in the first place.... thanx anyway guys.....
  12. damn the crabs got twice as large from the time i got em not so cute already.. is there a trap i can diy to catch it? the silly crab stays at the bottom of the rock structure ( taking it out would mean that i would have the spend the next few nights making the same structure again)
  13. guys.. im really confused when i did my test with my aquavital test kit, it shows that i have >21 dGH= >373.8 ppm (total hardness) now that doesnt worry me... but what really keeps me wondering is that the Carbonate hardness is 0 dKH!! or after conversion its 0 ppm!!!! ive read up on the instruction manual and it says total hardness shows the calcium and magnesium desolved in salt and carbonate hardness is the i dont know what ( something like ph stabilizer?? ) but then again when i read abt it online it says that " Alkalinity can be measured as GH (total or General hardness) or KH (Carbonate hardness). I would recommend a carbonate hardness test kit as your primary measure of alkalinity." my questions are, what in the world is dGH and dKH? what in the world is alkalinity? ( opposite of acidity? ) Whats the use of kalk ( read it somewhere about maintaining calcium, since my total hardness is >373 ppm does it mean i dont need kalk? ) and finally anything else u wanna add to that.. someone pls enlighten me.. im really confused, and i hate chemistry Thank uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu - i have a 7 cm coral sand bed, and live rocks ( dont know if these information helps but im just saying it)
  14. my sump is behind my tank water is pumped from the main 2' feet tank to the sump an overflow would be used to transfer the water back... thanx guys... will be buyin the pump today... my sump prob coming tmr or sat...
  15. hi guys,.. ive got another question... with regards to the pump, would a cheap pump be good enough to transfer water from my 2 feet tank to the sump? was thinking that since my water capacity after adding the sump is only ard 80 litres, the turnover rate would be ilttle rite? the distance between the main tank and the sump is very little ( sump is located behind the tank ) thank uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
  16. haha... right! alright AT, will bring it on sat.... anyway u have not given me the confirmation changed yer mind eh ?
  17. custom made to my desired size and design
  18. hehe tanzy... im pretty glad myself... my initial design had an overflow to an external bucket and a pump to the main tank, in case theres overflow have to pour the water back into the system(very mah fan). if its underflow, my pump can say goodbye! lesson learnt from a newbie: i wud have made that mistake if i didnt read up on head pressure (if yer stubborn like me, research and find out. so far all the stubborness i had - against lfs disagreeing, has been unrewarding)
  19. hey mr joe... ive got yer pm but i cant reply to u via pm cause my netscape dont allow me to and my internet explorer is spoilt... anyway, be forewarned that im really a newbie and watever information i gathered is entirely based on things i read in forums and websites my design for my sump is very simple.. theres theres 2 pieces of glass acting as partitions , the first one flows from the bottom and the next one from the top so as to minimise bubbles coming out from the skimmer from entering the main tank after which i hope to incorporate a super mini refugium ( for additional sand and live rocks) the top part of the last section i ask to drill a hole so that if it reaches a certain height will flow back to main tank( overflow ) my main tank is only 2 feet as for having a 3 feet tank with a 2 feet sump is possible, but alot of pple advice me to go bigger. let money and space be the restriction as AT said = a small tank with a big sump can look better then a big tank with a small sump. the most important thing is that uve gotta know what u want for yer sump and whats the purpose of it i spoke to mr hong at kelantan road and hes been very helpful and funny i suggest u go there with a design and talk to him about it dont forget the dimensions i hope that helps...
  20. came down to kelantan road and ordered my 2 feet sump tank.. cost is $40.. but i suddenly have a better design hope the guy doesnt kill me when i call him tmr morning lesson learnt from initial design = its super hard to work with 2 pumps ( one for inflow to the sump, the other to the main tank) cus its almost imposibble to maintain the water level as desired... overflows the best... oh well... wish my sump luck!
  21. u actually took the trouble to do that tanzy ?
