  1. Go online, get a heatsink, controller and the correct bulbs and you are good to go. remember to check polarity during soldering. Some brand do iffer solderless bulb but at a premium cost.

  2. Most RODI system runs the same way. brand wise most of them are the same. They are canister that allow water to flow through various pre-filter and membrane.

    What if I tell you I can DIY a set up exactly like crystal pro and its lower than the selling price of available models in market? Whats the diff between different brand then?

    THE USE OF MEMBRANE.

    @PowderTang You need to understand the various stages of a RODI unit first. Your existing crystal pro 3 can be turn into a RODI unit with the correct addition.

    Stage 1: 5 Micron sediment filter that filter out particles bigger than 5 micron. (i.e. acts exactly like the micron filter in your sump)

    Stage 2: Carbon block that de-chlorine the water and remove any organic compound (smell, contaminant and chemical etc)

    Stage 3: TFC membrane that removes many other contaminants and this is what restrict the water flow

    Stage 4: De-Ionization through resin.

    The only diff is the membranes and pre-filters used in each unit and their capacity.

    @PowderTang, if you want to add a RO membrane into your existing unit, you need to get this to house the above RO membrane. Cost just a few bucks if you know where to get.

    And than get this to hold the canister:

    So where can you buy all this? Our boleh neighbour have most of the things in their departmental store. The rest? Taobao lo.

    PS: I can fix up a unit for you at lower than retail price, with USA made membrane. PM to express your interest for a 4 stage unit. Pricing yet to be conclusive.

  3. Bro, if you confirmed on the tank size and that if fits into your reno, why not only have the tank make, and with heavy duty stand.

    After that, have the reno id to work around it for the exterior including top cabinet? In this case, if the carpentry work not done well, can have the contractor come over and touch up together with the rest, no need to fix seperate appointment.

    I think its easier to work around like this. Renovating already so many items to coordinate, just treat this as 1 item more and get the items separately. Just like reno ID like to lump everything together and mark up than overall mark up again. So even give you alot of discount, but in the end still the earning, if no discount than even more YAM GONG.

    For lighting, i just talked to Dr Evil the week before and he might have some refurbished razor laying around for a super good price, see he can give warranty anot.

    You can go see his tank, also similar only exterior (front facing,and wooden frame) is done up, behind all naked.

    Just my 2cents.

  4. i got a quarantine acrylic box that is only big enough for my training mandarin. Just went to East ocean and they dont carry and fish trap also. Haiz.

    Went to buy their EIHO ICH-EX and try. Non-copper based and was told 1 application is enough too treat the fish. $18 per bottle. Seems like they are the only 1 carrying this product.

    Maybe i go and get a piece of glass and DIY to replicate the aqua medic fish trap. Not sure in time anot, cos my tang now abit too much white spot.

    still eating and swimming actively though.
