  2. WTS my deltec protein skimmer MCE 500

    Bought from ReefDepot june last year ( will dig up the receipt when i get back )

    still have original packaging and receipt.

    reason for selling... i dun know why im running a deltc when in just keeping 1 marroon clown and some lps :blink: i forsee myself keeping goldfish soon cos i do not have the time and commitment now.

    its a great skimmer and very silent. dunt think need to explain much cos it really is a very good skimmer. in sump/tank.

    superb for nano

    let me know if your interested through pm cos i have to clean it as its still running in my sump ;)

    collection will be in kembangan mrt or my house in kembangan.

    Specs taken from ReefDepot

    The MC500 Multi Compact Skimmer is the ideal model for those with little space in their tank or sump or for fitting inside a Jewel Aquarium* without modifying the lights.

    People that are starting up in marine fish keeping should bear in mind that this skimmer will not only be suitable for the 50 gallon aquarium that they are looking at now but can be reused in their subsequent systems for anything up to 120 gallons.

    This makes much more sense than spending up to 2 thirds of the Deltec price or more on a budget skimmer and then throwing it away when you move up to your next tank.

    Tank mounted Installation

    Inside the tank the unit fits tidily against the back or side wall and can be fitted, normally using the supplied bracket, either with the clear front face on view or the black back face forwards.

    As long as the water level does not exceed the maximum shown on the body then the unit will operate.

    Sump Mounted Installation

    The skimmer can be used in any sump as long as the water depth is greater than 125mm and does not exceed the max level. An adjustable weir plate is provided that raises the water level to the correct height for any depth.

    General Operation

    Water is drawn in by an Aquabee pump fitted inside through a sliding snail guard at one end. The pump with its patented pinwheel draws an air down the silicone venturi tube and creates an air and water mix.

    The pinwheel smashes up the air to form a mass of fine bubbles which attract the protein waste to the air water interface where it is held whilst the bubble rises to the surface where it forms a stable foam.

    As the foam builds up it climbs up the skimmer cup for collection as a dark waste where it can be easily disposed of.

    The cleaned water passes through the skimmer having first passed through a degassing sponge to remove the majority of bubbles.

    The more air and the smaller the bubbles are then the larger the surface area for attraction of the proteins and the more efficient the skimmer becomes.

    The Deltec philosophy is that for every 1000 Ltrs of water in the aquarium that you require 400 - 500 Ltrs of air per hour to achieve efficient skimming.

    With 200 lts of air this makes the MCE600 skimmer suitable for 550 Ltrs (120 gallons) for a normally stocked reef aquarium or 360 Ltrs (80 gallons) for a heavily stocked fish system.

    From testing that we have carried out we have found that Deltec skimmers produce at least 2 - 4 times the air volume used on most competitors skimmers which are claimed to be suitable for comparable water volumes.

    * On Jewel aquariums it will be necessary to cut the plastic lids to achieve a neat fit. These lids can be purchased separately if required to return the tank to its original state.

    The MC500 will not fit easily on the new Vision 450 and for this tank we recommend the MCE600 skimmer with the return flowing into the corner filter box.

    Use

    Can be used either in a sump or inside an Aquarium.

    The skimmer does not require any form of additional feed pump.

    Air Intake

    200 L/hr

    Power Consumption

    10 watts

    Note: The skimmer does not require any form of additional feed pump.

    Dimensions

    L 210 W 90 H 530(allowing for removal of the cup)

    Sump Min Water Level

    Min: 125mm

    Inside the Aquarium

    Body of the unit sits 80mm out of the water plus the height of the collection cup.

  3. hey guys just trying my luck.

    im looking for digimon 1. the one that looks like a pager and works like a tamagochi but u can battle with one another.

    i tried serching for them but to no avail.

    if u have got them do pm me

    thanks and happy reefing

  4. wts a NOT WORKING 2ft atman mh. this light gave me alot of problems and mainly due to the loose connectors.

    ;)

    the mh bulb cant light up. either the bulb blew, connectors loose. the mh is NOT WORKING

    selling it at 50 bucks to some one who knows how to repair it. dun ask me how too cause if i know i wouldnt have gotten a new lightset :pinch:

    comes with stand.

    the 2 actinic pl slitt works.

    collection in kembangan, my place.

    sms me at 81397374

    thanks

  5. bro nice scaping. if your filtration can handle it, dont add any more rocks. its nice to see a tank with a big and clean sandbed. there are some nice corals that do well on the sandbed.

    furthermore adding more rocks will make your water volume much lesser which isnt very good and worst still its a nano. too packed a nano with a small water volume is a big challenge

  6. hi im seeking some help to change my mh bulb connectors. its double ended. i have the new connectors but dun know how to change it and dont dare change it. hopefully can find some1 staying around east cos its damn heavy to carry it around. if you can help me change it please sms me at 81397374. thanks alot.

  7. just my opinion, i do not think we should take anything from what ever is left from our pityfull shores. there are some groups out there trying very had to conserve what ever is left and and bringing the awareness of our marine life and it does help taking it away. ;)

  8. at first sick of angel, wanted to try shark, but gave me 2 terrible morning sunday surprise twice. Both time, pvc piping in the overflow chamber 40mm stuck a big wrasses chase by sharks, water flowing down cant match the return pump power, became water fall. clear the living room and store room, under the stair for 6-8 hour. 1st time oc smile and together with my maid help me, cheering me up. 2nd time, opposite liao, as black as seachem carbon, maid stunned.

    bro ur description is very funny :lol:
