    I may be wrong but so far the clips I see on YouTube. Even in pulse mode, the long tentacles Lps seem to show the same effect of a single source pump.

    From the clips, The pump is installed such that surface agitation is quite strong, which generates bubbles. So wonder if there's anyone who install it at a lower height. But if by placing the unit lower into the tank, the advantage of the linear pump might become the disadvantage as the flow would be directing at the whole area of the tank. So the pump strength cannot be too strong if it is installed at a lower level.

    If pump is installed vertically, I think pple with sand bed definitely have sandstorm.

    Hope tat there will be more clips showing the pump installed in different height horizontally and vertically and in Dsb tanks.

    Firstly, to be competitive all boils down to low input and high output. But how a company run its show will depend on how much output it can get. A company with a horde of MPs sitting in as directors drives up the cost of operation. Singapore is like a company. The hordes of ministers n mps, with their remuneration package n pension, how much goes to these "operation" cost to govern a tiny island and still make mistakes which so many commoner non scholars on the streets foresee tat. Question I have in mind is some of our ministers are also sitting in on temasek n gic. Are they drawing another salary? They keep emphasising the citizens to contribute n volunteer, so whu cant they volunteer to work for free in certain designations & doing their bit to help the system? The list can go on for remaining competitive. But they always subject the pple to all the competitive except they themselves cannot be placed in such situations.

    haha bro, chill. I'm also very upset at the turn of events, but if you feel so strongly about it, believe you could start a fb group about it, petition to the govt, talk to your mp and suggest ways that we can remedy the situation. at least make your voice heard
    If he listens, then he will never cry during erection.... Can't believe he said he wanted Singaporeans to be wary that someone will steal yr lunch. Think he learnt the theory from the watershed at aljunied. To make the voice heard, it should be tic for tat....

    Refurnished hawker centres, and sell to private companies and rental hike, kill the hawker fare then now talk say wan to preserve hawker fare. But rental already go up so can't come down. Kill the wet markets and sell to private companies again indirectly increase the cost of living. Now ask the farmers to increase productivity and only then will consider their land bid. In the first place those land are around sensitive areas where our military bases are. So u can't build bloody high rise hotels and other commercial building. So those Land can only be used for agricultural purposes. So there's no demand for these land for other purposes. But now this scenario will be creating an effect similar to rental hike. Now to increase bloody productivity, u need to invest in equipments to do tat. But to recoup all these investments within a short period of time and the uncertainty of lease, which investors would do tat? So either u close shop or just pass the cost to the consumers. Ya I know, there's what productivity funds to tap into. Then came the house renov cement must use those environmental friendly cement which cost much more.... Dun know wat is there to prove.... Tat we are an environmental conscious country? Then stop building so many shopping centres consuming electricity and contribute to green house effect. K&N......

    from what I gather from the news, it said this "Those who wish to continue their farming businesses can then bid for new sites at Lim Chu Kang and Sungei Tengah from next year." are these new plots of land or existing plots that also have their current leases running out? sadly these plots will be smaller.
    the lease is also shorter. Meaning u spend money to build up the infrastructure and need to recoup all these within 10yrs. From news, seems like garment wan to build new Tengah town. So military give up land for housing, so military take land from farming.

    All because garment wants to build some new road/ tunnel...

    and shopping centres so they can collect rent, indirectly increase land cost. Seems like This is the only way they know how to spin the money.

    Talking abt productivity, why can they reduce the no of ministers and increase their productivity? Have more MPs instead cos u find nea, nea say lta, lta say hdb, hdb say nea.... 1 minister govern all would solve all these.

    I went to ah bak place. He told me him n coral farm affected. Lck201 told me neo tiew not affected. Those starts will lim chu kang affected only. The bloody relocation also cannot guarantee for how many years. Then farmers need to increase price to make up the loss. Price increase pass to consumers.

    Can the ruling party give the citizens a break?

    Life is short and full of unexpected. Happy is the most important but of course not as the expense of others' well being.Imposing Ban will not solve all issues in this current environment. Self control will solve most problems.
    wah smoking thread gets a new member to make first post. I agreed wif u life is short, real short. Now already almost near yr end. Just feel like last yr Xmas just passed by recently.

    triton: miracle or snake oil?

    Water change for hardworking pple, saves money. I think with weekly water change, one dun need to dose and dun need to buy all the fanciful stuff to dose into tank.

    No water change for "busy" pple. I belong to this group. So u spend more money on buying the fanciful stuff. The risk is u enjoy spending money buying new products then appreciate the hobby. Once no fanciful products are launched, the interest for reefing die down & probably decomm.

    I think the triton n all new tech reefing stuffs will work well with water change, together.

    Eg. When change a new pail of salt, test that pail of newly mixed salt water to get all the parameters, instead of testing the tank water.

    So the next new pail of salt u also test that. Soon u know the chemical compounds trending of your salt n try to correlate the health of the livestocks.

    I think if we do water change every fortnight and triton testing of new batch of salt in this way, can skip dosing of ca, kh and other elements, cos u get the assurance of wat u add into the tank. No concern of addition compound being added as no dosing system.

    Any other factors affecting chiller apart from horsepower?

    in Product Reviews

    Posted

    I noticed that for example, a 1HP artica chiller is rated to cool 3000l of water but for haliea its only rated for 2000l. So in terms of chillers, horsepower is not the only thing that makes it powerful and efficient?
    1) How much flow goes into the chiller. 2) Where is the source of the water is pumped into the chiller. Eg. If your source is also near to the output of the chiller, naturally the thermostat of the chiller will drop very quickly. So it drops quickly but will also rise quickly. So your chiller will have a higher frequency of start n stop which will consume more power.
