    Hi bro, I am sis FYI. Don't know much about Skive, been to Copenhagen but always wanted to visit Skagen.

    Ops, Ps Sis. :peace:

    How's Copenhagen? U been to any reef shops there?

    As my trips only 3 weeks there, unable to make time to make trip to Copenhagen. But heard there quite happening, lol.

    Saw a few TV shows advertise about Copenhagen during my stay in Skive. :yeah:

    Hey bro, its going to be 3 weeks soon. Once you are there, please share with us your find. :thanks:

    hey bro,

    Just came back from denmark.

    :( sad to say cant find any marine shop there in skive.

    according to the people there, they only have a few shops in copehangen as skive temp is not sutiable to keep. Ave temp there is abt 5 - 15.

    haiz, another trip of empty handed.... :cry:

    Follow the specs of the chiller lor. For me i usually use stronger flow abt 3000lph as my flow is sump to chiller direct back to tank. If sump to chiller water back to sump 1800lph should be enuff.

    Bro vdfne, find 1 day i ask desmond jio u out for kopi.

    Roger, Tnks!

    Sure, find 1 day, we 3 come out lai kopi then i can ask advise from ur pros, :)

    Heard desmond coming back to reef.

    Looks like some kind of tubeworm.... possibly a vermatid. should be harmless. Do you see stringy threads/webs coming out from it?

    Are the 'feelers' like feathers or worm-like?

    The feelers are moe of like feathers, also white in colour, very thiny.

    Hope it's not the cause of my missing fish. -_-

    Does it disturd the touch also? Cause that part of the touch doesnt seems to open up now.

    Hi, i notice there's a white hole on my touch( if i got the name correct). There's a thing inside it. It only shows it's feeler coming in and out of the hole. i'hv tried to take the whole tg out , soak it in tap water n leaving it out of water awhile, hoping that 'the thing' will come out but failed..... Tired using a pin to poke it but it was dam hard, can say as hard as a stone...

    Anyone can help to ID this? Hope it's not sometg bad.... Since intro it to the tank, 2 fish have been missing... Feeling dam uneasy now -_-

    lol. Live prawn, maybe for fishing?

    juz joking. :P

    Anyway, you can mod your reef octopus. :D

    The longer you wait to add livestock in your tank, the better.

    Since ya using live sand and previous live rock, the time span can be shorten. How long is your tank already?

    :)

    Ps, wat u mean by mod the reef octopus? modify it har? i'hv seem some post regards abt modify the pump to make more bubble? Seem abit chim to me.... -_-

    Tank is about 2weeks le, old stock from preious tanks about 2mths old nia.

    there is less energy loss so u can either lower the pump rating or get more flow up your main tank.

    Another point is that do u have any filter floss anywhere in the filteration? Ur skimmer does not seems to be a powerful enough to cleanse the water.... better have some mechanical filter where u change regularly unless your skimmer pump can deliver 10X faster than your overflow pump.....

    Also, I notice that the pump serving your chiller is taking unfilter water which may result in more "growth" internally in chiller and eventually result in lower efficiency....

    Ty Kareen, will do that, gonna U-turn my sump.

    The filter floss u mean by those cotten filter? :ph34r:

    ps har, still new to this hobby some terms need to confirm, wait act clever, anyhow poke hole then die liao :pinch:

    The pump servicing my chiller is link from my return pump so i guess should be ok hor.

    Reef Octopus NW110 not enough for my 3ft tank?

    The weipro in the pic is extra 1, i just put in the 1st few days thinking it migh help to clear up. Already taken it out le. PS for any mislead.

    Bro, since they're no livestock and corals, why not just off the chiller and save the electricity? You don't need to chill yr tank now till you get the chiller thermostat repaired. Alternatively, go for external themo controller...more accurate i heard.

    How much does a external themo controller controller cost? Issit easily to fix on the chiller like need to open the chiller for operation? If so, might try. hehe

    Tnks for the advise. i run the chiller awhile tryin to see hw much it can drop on the temp as currrently do not hv themo.

    bro, ur seio seems to be blowing a sand storm to the sand bed. Could that the sand are covering the rocks. try to tilt the seio till the sand are not been blown away. :) U might wanna use cable tie for ur wires, will definitely looks neater and pleasing to ur eyes.

    The rescape looks better. try to wait till ur tank finishes the full cycle then put in ur fishes and corals ya :D Keep it up bro

    Tnks for the comment!:thanks::thanks:

    Just made some final rescape few days ago, hehe. Will try to post some pics, using hp. pis take liao not nice -_- so dun dare to post....

    The cables i hvnt decide how to hide them, thinkin of DIY the wooden stand by adding a cover around it and a cover for the chiller. Now waiting for my plywood to arrive nia.

    a little observation.... Turn the sump the other way round where the "up" pump do not have such an acute and long distance could save $$$ in the long run....

    Gd idea! Will try to U-turn the sump. :thanks: Think will look neater also.

    but hor, how it could save $ in long run? The return pump will be using the same power right, regardless the distance? Pls enlightened on this, Tnks.

    get a buffer to increase your KH, i suggest you remove any bioballs if you have any and also try to hide your seio pump if you can, make sure your flow is adequete to remove any dead spots. Dont start stocking yet, do it a monh later and the key to keeping your tank alive and well is to STOCK SLOWLY, haha there is a saying that in reefkeeping, nothing good ever happens fast so ya, take your time man :) run ROWAphos if you are not doing so now to help with your control of algae and adding bacteria into your tank would really shorten that 1 month wait if your hands get itchy and excited to add stuff in(like i did) haha

    i'm transfering most of my rocks n sands from my preious tank, so is it ok to add in LS earlier? :upsidedown:

    Any advise on why hide the seio pump?

    i think u are reading your KH wrongly bro, anyway six drops is 6dKH. so there you have it, your KH is 6! :) oh ya, my advice to you is repair your chiller or get a new one, how you going to run a chiller without any thermostat???

    Oh, Tnks for correcting me, :bow:

    Atm, chiller is running on timer, off every 2hr, activate for 1hr. Getting it to repair soon.

    Heard from my seller that resun will auto cut of at 26, so i run the chiller to test over nite. Guess what i see the nxt morning??

    The temp went down to 22!!!!!!! dam shock man, heng none of my snail went forzen...... phew..
