    WTS: Aqua Sanrise Plus R60 (LED for 2’ Tanks)

    in Sell off/Pasar Malam Shop

    Posted

    Hi fellow reefers,

     

    clearing my storeroom now and I realised I still have my aqua Sanrise LED lightset here. It is meant for a 2 feet tank but will be also more than sufficient for a 2.5feet tank as well. Comes with stand and is in very good condition still. This was purchased early 2017.

    I think this set retails at 600+ but I’m clearing at $180.

     

    Pls pm me if interested thanks!!

    So sad to hear this. I feel your pain
    Better cover all bases - gaps in net, battery backup, potential leaks etc.  Remember to enable the 'heartbeat' feature on your Apex if not already done. 


    Yes, it’s like my tank is trying to show me issues I have to settle one after the other. Such a coincidence that this happens within 24 hours of u asking me about the security of the netting in the way I run the lines.

    Ok I’m gonna try to enable heartbeat on the apex now. Will see when i have the spare cash and time to buy the backup battery.

    Took some photos just now to capture the size of these frags and compare them in a few months time.

    My Sps colours have been slowly browning and I’m still trying to figure out why. But there are still many variables that could have caused it, so I’m trying to make changes slowly and hopefully with time they will stabilise and colour up more again (as long as they don’t die on me )

    Sold to me and called Pink Lady. It has pink polyps.

    Think this was called a Pink Duster. Colours are losing

    This is a red polyped specimen I got from an Aussie shipment. Once again the red is not as obvious as it was few weeks back.

    This is supposed to be a rainbow milli. I’m not sure if it’s a milli tho. Any experts to advice?

    Another piece I like. It is actually green and with a tinge of purplish pink. I don’t know what this Sps is so anyone who can ID it for me will be great

    Another pink polyped specimen. I think I have a liking for things pink.

    Rainbow loripes. Been with me for 6 weeks so far and luckily the colour for this has largely remained the same.

    Don’t know what this is but I like the colours on it.

    Yes bro me too. I’m a tech idiot. Maybe u can consider getting a electrician to make/split an additional power point (lower Chances of surge etc?).
    One power point is using Berkin. Comes with surge protection and free isurance lol
    Another PowerPoint comes with an APC extension/back-up battery. The wave makers are powered by this. So it really power failure (happened before) can buy a few hours.
    Just sharing. 


    Thanks for sharing bro!

    Good to hear ur tank is safe with minimal damage done. Love to have apex but can’t bring myself to pay for it lol. I’m sure when apex is up and running, it will be able to monitor ur tank. Maybe can add one IP cam? Too many high end corals in ur tank! 


    Thanks bro! Yes counting my lucky stars. I’m not so gadget savvy so apex is giving me headaches alrdy. Ip cam slowly and maybe will come..

    When my tank more ready...will come...lol.
     
    Few pointers:
    1. Multi - socket is generally not approved, hence you seldom see the CE safety logo.
    2. Loading is one point, got to look at surge also.
    3. Buying equipment, those non 3 pins, may not be designed for sg use and hence risk involved in using. 
    4. Have those extension cord standby for emergency. 
    5. For equipment with high risk failure, use elcb socket to minimize main breaker tripping.
    6. Warning device... those aquarium controller or isocket or those device for intelligent home setup. 
    Good sharing exp. see you soon. 


    Bro thanks for sharing. What do u consider equipment with high risk failure? China made equipment?

    When I read your observstion:

    'There was no overload as my total power consumption did not exceed 13A'

    This may also be the reason of poor quality sockets / power adapters . The material or the quality is not be good enough.

    I did had similar experience, not in my tank but other heavy load equipment like washing machine.

    Good that you are able to respond in time.

    Hi bro yes u are correct. I plugged these two adapters onto each other before plugging in the multi-plugs which power my equipment. Reason being I connected 2 x multi plugs to this single socket and I needed the lateral displacement from the socket to fit in two plugs. They are not good quality and should not be “stacked” like this. To think that we usually spend thousands and thousands on top-quality equipment but hinge the life of the system on $5 plugs.

    Thanks for sharing, glad to know no major casualties or disasters. Agree electrical management is extremely important for us as we run so many gadgets.
    So how do we mitigate repeats? Split the appliances into different wall sockets which feed several power bars, so that the total amperage doesn’t exceed safety limits, I guess?


    Yeah hope this sharing also serves as a wake up call for those reefers testing the limits like me.

    Since u asked let me share a little more. I had spent a fortune on my livestock and some hairs within me had alrdy started to stand when I occasionally heard electrical surging sounds coming from my socket. So I decided to call an electrician to my place. The plan was to install two separate power points that would be linked to its own CB. I had also wanted these two CBs to be housed in a separate ELCB so that if anything trips in the house my tank would still be running, so these thoughts would provide a double contingency.

    However the electrician said it wasn’t possible as my house wiring is all concealed, and they have no way to run a new wiring to the balcony except to only tap from the existing powerpoint to split 13A outlets. And I could not set up an ELCB that was separate from the one for my home as it would compromise regulations and put my home at more risk from fire. So I just skipped the idea altogether.

    To answer your question, only power was not available to my tank as the socket had burnt through. But actually power was still available at the socket. So my CB did not trip. There was no overload as my total power consumption did not exceed 13A.

    Now to solve this, I actually got the electrician to come the next day evening to install 4 x 13A powerpoints at that affected outlet. Good thing was that the power socket was connected solely to a 20A CB that wasn’t split anywhere else in the house. So now I can effectively have 4 power sockets that combined cannot exceed 20A but individually up to 13A.

    Sorry for the long write up
