    Tank leaking !

    in General Reefkeeping_

    Posted

    Will those toilet basin selicon good enough to seal the crack temporary...

    Problem is not knowing where is the leak, all i can see now is water seeping out of the black sponge and one nasty creature wriggling around. Asking tank maker for assistance. Not sure how they can help but dont know of other options now. Sigh.......

    Guess i can only move the livestock down to the sump tank and drain as much as i can now.

    Meantime, also am thinking :

    i) get help to repair or redo same tank

    ii) redo a new tank - also contemplating a new tank with IOS with skimmer (dont want sump anymore

    Big problem ! Tank leaking !

    Not sure if you can enlarge the photo, if you can, you can see there is a live worm-like (with feelers or antenna) that actually came out of the black sponge where the water is coming out slowly ! Leak has been going on for a while or hole was large enough to let something like that slip through ?

    EVO LED lights suitability

    You can try Aquazonic IP4 Infinity Pleasure LED Lighting Deep Blue. It comes with 2 build in T5. Currently I'm using it. So far so good. I only change the standard aquazonic tube to ATI tube. Hope this helps.

    Thanks Bro Trevally and Plankton . Will explore the changing of LEDs. As for the Aquazonic, how much is it and where did you get it from ?

    Hi Reefers,

    My flickering Beamswork face another problem of broken switch, cant even press the switch, somehow stuck inside. While looking at opening to see whats wrong with switch and maybe replacing adapter, would like to ask about an EVO LED light set that I saw. It has 3W LEDs compared to my current 1W beamswork. Would this be better for my tank with soft corals (hammers, zoas, GSP) or would it be too bright (bleaching problems etc) ? Also are LEDs changeable ? Was wondering if i can perhaps add more blue instead of the current configuration?

    Am working on budget around $150, if there are other recommendations not too far off , feel free to let me know. Thanks !!!!

    Its a Beamswork 1600 model.

    Loose contact should be the case cos then it would just dim and not flicker. Marine LEDs don't work on pwm the last time I checked so they wouldn't flicker because of loose connection

    You mean "loose contact should 'not' be the case is it ? So likely to have to change adaptor ?

    Side question, would you think this light is actually appropriate for my tank with soft corals like zoas, hammer, mushrooms, GSP ? This beamswork is with 1W LEDs and recently saw a EVO brand with 3W LEDs same price. Just wondering if this EVO may be more appropriate. Thanks.

    Hi Guys,

    Need advise on the following. My 2 ft LED lights has recently had several occasions when it flickers when i turn it on. Sometimes blue lights will light up only very dimly and after sometime goes back to normal. Is it something wrong with adaptor ? Is there such adaptor for sale? Or have to change the whole light set ?

    Thank you.
