  1. bro u got PM. juz gimme ur address im not too far away
  2. eheim 1260 and tee off slightly only using eheim valve. u can probably use other pumps like extrema, etc but i suspect 2012 need 1500-1800/h assuming no head loss. 2013... i will get a 1262 or maybe juz try extrema since it is much cheaper.
  3. sure or not? dun think lah... is either YES or NO
  4. my feedbacks on the GUI changes... some points may already been given but it is so darn difficult to read the text now that i am not bothering with it <<< that's point 1. point 2: cannot scroll... point 3: insufficient colour contrast between background and text, button face and text, etc point 4: did the font change on the buttons? seems to be smaller and of a harder to read font. hmm what else?? hopefully somethings will be rectified so that i can go reading the forums again with ease. cheers!
  5. ??? how can u get item 1 but not item 2? cos i wanted all the floridas darn he mentioned couple of weeks ago he is selling his yumas but i told him not interested, only want floridas. did not know he is letting go some as well, otherwise the other time, will take them liao...
  6. unlikely to back out but hoping the guy who took item 1 and 6 back out
  7. as far as i know, items 1 and 6 taken liao and items 2 and 3 reserved by me. not sure about the rest though...
  8. trust me bro, buy fr viclite cheaper becos these folks are selling their surplus and their stuffs were made in bulk so naturally it is cheaper. however, in terms of meeting ur specs and maybe for better looking hood, get in touch with our sponsor here.
  9. my experience with weipro is that you must maintain the water level at the next and the bubbles will froth between the lowest point of the next and the middle section. u must be able to achieve this without closing the outlet valve too much. i over spec my pump so i adjust by tuning the pump flow valve instead of the outlet valve. this way, i get max water through the skimmer and yet maintain the desired water level. after 1-2 days, you should get kopi-o or dark tea. please do not tune the water level lower thinking u can get sludge like aquac or h&s. weipro juz cannot do it due to the lower amount of bubbles the venturi can produce. nonetheless, watery collection is still good and is easier to clean. u probably need to empty cup every 5-7 days.
  10. juz post pics and PM me the price. if u know where got nice ones, esp red brain corals, please PM me. maximas, also PM me! btw, still looking for ric floridas! thanks!
  11. ??? new tw6? im pretty sure it can cool ur tank down, esp a 4 footer. is it becos it needed servicing? actually i dun look at hp when selecting chiller. best to get the specs of cooling ability, ie what is ambient temp, what is desired temp, how much water, time to take to cool, etc. this is the real facts of the chiller! teco has a chart for theirs. juz like the anology of the lorry and car, one got more hp but the other one moves faster. so how u know which one u want? ask for its 0-100 in secs, ask for top speed, etc. u dun ask how many cc is the engine and go buy. u guys may be rating the sponsor chiller wrongly. when i asked for a quote, i always put the specs, ie my requirement. so up to them to propose and not ask for x hp chiller. then again, i may not be aware of other facts. my 2 cents worth!
  12. i find lck110 prices on the higher side or is it that i dunno how to bargain? eg blue tang $25 whereas other places sells at $16 and i know they came in the same day so cannot be becos they quarantine or whatever. croceas $35 for small $45 for bigger ones whereas PM only $30 and $35 and got over a hundred to choose from. if can lower prices, who to talk to?
  13. i used to have high casulties. almost all, with the exception of clown fish, dies within 1 week of putting in main tank. i put them in direct without quarantine, etc. the problem is not the itch (which always happens) but a combined problems of itch, new environment so hiding, not getting food, etc. my new regiment has seen no casualty (touch wood). when first brought back, i put 1 drop of malachite green. leave the fish in the original bag for 30 min. then catch out to q tank. put myxazin or other anti itch, anti parasite medicine. leave fish in q tank for a few days. make sure they look ok and feeding before i put into plastic container in main tank. leave it there for a few days. make sure it looks comfortable, no sickness and most importantly, eats at every feeding (this indicates it is not frightened anymore and not eating becos it is starving) then let go into main tank. simple steps but it works. should have found this out much earlier cos my ls that died cost more than juz hundreds of bucks! ouch ps u can skip the q tank regime. i only do it after my ranchus died and thus have extra tank. cheers!
  14. Looking for parts for my 400W MH light set... a. eballast b. SE bulb, prefer new. 10,000K or 20,000K but pls indicate brand and if got PAR value, please provide. SMS 96811038 or PM me. Thanks!
  15. im using those plastic containers with lots of big holes at sides and bottom with 2 hooks. i think shops sell them as holders for shampoo, etc to be used in bathrooms.
  16. first of all, thanks for the bros here u sms me dr chill's number, esp calciumreef. wow less than 5 mins after my posting, he sms me liao. thanks bro! thanks also to dr chill for his quick response, esp to leong for servicing the chiller on the same day i called. his thorough and methodological approach managed to identify the problem quickly and rectify it without doing guess work. chiller was back and running within 24 hours. i recommend dr chill service!!!
  17. so what is it that u need? bulb? ballast?
  18. i used to have the same problem. one fine day u will realise u cant find it anymore... i put any fish that i plan to introduce into a container hanging in the main tank. let it stay there for a few days and make sure it eats while inside the container. once it starts eating, then release it. works for me after so many failed attempts using other methods!
  19. im trying to contact dr chill the past 2 days cos my chiller needs service urgently. unable to bring water temp to lower than 28 whereas used to be able to handle 24 easily. my latest ls like ric floridas, etc will not last long if this continues. he has not read my PM so i assumed he has not login the past 2 days. can someone please pass me his number or if not, please call him and ask him to call me at 96811038. this is getting very urgent. my tank ave temp is 29 without mh on!
  20. ??? got clams? i was there sat morning and only a few leftover clams. got new shipment?
  21. i think the argument will be endless but this is my personal conclusion. for small to medium setup, NW or spray injection is better as they require lower flow rate and small setup. however, for big tanks, beckett is better as it is more suited to handle high volume and require big installation. therefore, it is not feasible to compare based on a particular fixed size, instead, we should put these 2 at the top, side by side and use them appropriately. cheers!
  22. where got the nicest clams right now? bio ocean came in some croceas and got a few nice ones but i din take cos juz came in. let them settle over 2 days first. im looking for some nice ones... croceas and maximas.
