    Oic... thanks bros!!

    Currently my chiller has been running for almost a wk.

    According to Arctica FAQ site, it had mentioned that a proper sized chiller kicking-in pattern is (Kick-in: approx 1h 1/2min) , (Standby: approx 2hrs) which is quite similar to mine. So does tt mean i shd b thinking so much? :lol:

    Flowrate of feeding pump to chiller

    Hi Experts,

    I have yet another brain teaser question which bothers mi for quite some time...

    Well, recently i just bought an Actica 1/2HP commercial chiller (recommended flowrate 7.9~13.2 gpm/ 1800~3000 L/H). Thus, i bought myself one AquaBee 3000 (flowrate 3000 L/H).

    However, i was then then told by the techincal staff that this chiller is not recommended to be running @ this rate. Instead it should be running @ a higher speed *The higher the better* .

    Therefore my questions here:

    1) Which pump should be recommended for this chiller then??

    2) If my feeding pump flowrate double (eg 3000>6000), does that mean my tank temp cools double oso (1.5hr>0.75hr)??

    3) If my feeding pump wattage double (eg 40>80W), will that cause the heat load to increase double oso??

    Hi experts,

    May i find if anyone of u here (especially RSM users) ever bought such equipment 'I-box' ? My understanding of this product is only that it enable water flows in/out main tank (referring to nano-tanks eg. RSM) but im not really sure of other further details.

    My intention is to bring my RSM together with my existing 4ft + sump tank w/o drilling a hole on my RSM. If anyone here had been using or have heard of such product, kindly pls educate mi. Other details might includes:

    1) Where to get

    2) Price of tis product

    2) Space required (Dimensions)

    Thanks for your help once again!! :D

    powder series tangs

    in FOWLR (Fish-only with Live-rock)

    Posted

    I used to have them all 3 together for abt a mth, but powder black (whitecheek) died due to not feeding (stress, bullied by other tangs).

    But even if u have sucessfully intro them, they will still have occassion fights like wad my current powder blue+ powder brown+ blue tang did in my 4ft

    Thus, I think i shall make a stop here... or else U r torturing the animals... :P

    My method: Either intro them one shot, if not intro them with other species (many @ a shot) to confuse them... best is intro @ nite when everyone is Zzz

    Yelow Tang not greedy anymore, why?

    Hi there, my troubled friend!! U may like to try out different types of pellets for your tangs. I have been toggling between Ocean Nutrition Formula 1 & 2 pellets for my Tangs and they hv been feeding well. It will be advisable to give em frozen brine/mysis shrimps and dry veg nori/flakes (OSI/Ocean Nutrition) in every meal.

    For my feeding habits which they hv already got used with goes like this... 3-4 tablespoonful of Formula pellets + 2 blocks of brine/mysis shrimps+ dry Veg nori/flakes. Live brine shrimps per pack every once or twice weekly.

    I always believe this... Even human will get sick if certain food is serve everyday!!! Thus, spare a thought for your babies... Hehe :) Good Luck!!!
