Hi guys,
Stupid snail went into my overflow pipe (my fault) and water leaked all over the living room. I am done with this hobby for now after 6 years.
Giving/selling (best offer) 2 little LPS, 1 clown fish, 1 blue chromis and 3 healthy rocks (a bit of alguae but lot of coraline) ASAP.
I cannot restart my pump emse it keeps overflowing so it is a matter of hours before the tank crashes.
Collect at Saraca road area (around Yio Chu Kang).
Photo taken with natural light only. But quite vibrant colors otherwise. Must collect today.

Hi Guys, letting go this wave maker - MJ GF4K Christmas gift from 2y ago, brand new, never used. It does not fit my tank. I expected to upgrade to a bigger tank eventually, but I am giving up on that hobby for now, no time to commit.
It costs 250 to 300sgd brand new. I let it go for 180.
Thanks

Where to collect?
-
Thanks guys. Hard to figure out why. But yes, it started I think, when I put this little fella in the tank.
He has done a fantastic job in taking down the algae. But maybe he is eating this sps....other corals are fine though.

Stable. 0.1025 and 27 degres.
U think adding 4ml of Alk per day can be the cause? Can it burnt?

Hi guys..Bringing this up!
Really need help. You can see some white spot here and there...too much light?
My kessil 700ap are at 50% max power for few hours during day time. Approx 10h of light.

Hi Guys!
Water parameters are good. Stable (alk, no3, mg, ca). I feed reef roids.
But somehow it seems it is bleeching. LPS and softies are doing too good.
Any idea?
-
Ok. So it worked!
I will post tomorrow some photos on the leak area and how I managed to save it.
Next step now will be to make my own cabinet and to adjust my sump.
The current sump is very small and has a RODI water top-up tank attached. I will remove the glass that separate the sump from this top up tank, so I have a bigger sump.
The cabinet will have to host my sump, a small 8L tank to auto top up, and my chiller. I will also redo the pipes, using check valves and hard pipes to make it neat.
Will post some pics.
Hopefully, I can recycle my tank by next week.

So weird lol.
Well. I have removed the water completely, dried it, used all the tools I have + acetone to remove all joints from what I believe to be the leaking spot. Resealed...
Now drying.
Will let you know in 48h!
-
800 is tank + cabinet + sump?
-
I think I will empty tomorrow, let it dry, and try to remove the "rail" compartment of the sump, and eventually, try to reseal again from there. Let it dry for 2 days and try again.
It was meant to be my Xmas project but oh well. Difficult task. -
So basically, I did remove all extra silicone, I did wash with Acetone. I put some clean masking tape, then, sealed back edges, everywhere, with black silicone. Quite a good quality job.
The leak is really at the joint, at the base.
But, I have no idea out to reseal this. The overflow is sealed on mutliple surfaces.
Anyway, here a video...it's raining. The sound does not come from the leak. -
Hi Bro. I wish it was. But the pipe is not even connected to "water". The tank is not full enough to enter the overflow or retuirn pipe. I wish I could take a clearer picture, but there is no room there.
We can clearly see the leak coming from the joint between the overflow box & the tank itself.
Alama, I m so screwed with this tank. Since day 1, I have had leak. From new to now. -
Hello guys,
I need help. I have a leak on my tank. This leak has been there for a solid 3 years...since the leak was around the overflow area, I decided to "link the leak" (1 drop a second) to the overflow pipe, so, it would somehow not fall onto the floor but back in the sump. It created some nuisances, like accumulation of salt around the pipe, some stains on the cabinet, but well not so bad, it was working without flooding my place.
Long story short, with Xmas coming and being stuck in SG, I wanted to use my leaves to restart afresh. So, I took all rocks & fish/coral out. Did a good polish of the tank to make it look like new, removed all accesible silicone joint. And i did the silicone joints again, following youtube video. Result is better than expected.
48h after (silicon is cured), I refilled the tank with fresh water, to test, and the leak is still there. Not as strong as before.It's a leak that has a weird location. At the bottom of the tank, around the overflow box. My aquarium is an Elos mini.
Here, some pictures. You will see the overflow is built in. And the leak is at the base of this overflow box. How to fix this? Load in more silicon? Or throw everything, buy new one? Or remove all silicone joint and overflow box and reseal everything rather than just doing the edge?

I am using Life water from NTUC or RODI that I buy from iwarna farm.
Oki, will try to check ICP. I actually was wondering. I have a metal ring that helps with a pipe, and it is verey rusty. The rust falls probably into the sump, but at a very slow level...could it be a risk? -
Thanks guys for the replies. It is kinda a old tank. Like 5 years. But I moved house 18 months ago. So I had to empty it and kept water + life rocks&live stock in big bucket. Upon resetting in the new house, the tank crashed but most of the live stock survived surprisingly. The biggest issues actually came when I replaced some of the bio filter (tiny balls in my sump) with a new type of balls with more holes...since then, like just after Circuit Breaker, the tank has experience algae bloom, and some weird death of fishes that were there for a while.
I usually change 20L of water every other week or every week. Depends on how I feel it. Sometimes, rarely, I add somz trace elements.
Not sure about P04. I will buy some test kits.
Light was high yeah, I brought it down like few weeks ago, but didn't change much.
The anemone that was very stable has been starting to move around like 2 weeks ago.
I will upload more photo tmw.
Where can I send water for ICP test?

Hi Guys,
Following up on this topic.
My tank is doing good with fishes and soft corals. Soft corals expand and grow.
But, somehow, all critters (shrimps of any type, snails, crabs, sea cucumber) die in the span of a week to 5. I have tried to feed extra, but they seem to be not interested at all in the leftover. I use biozym staple diet for marine fish.
And also, all SPS or LPS seems to bot be able to make it.
So, I don't understand...my dream is to get SPS/LPS. How?
Parameters taken yesterday :
Alk 6.7
Mg 795
No3 10 to 25
Ca 400
Light is about 8h to 10h a day, with a pic at noon to 2 for about 25% of its power. It is a kessil ap700, too big for the tank. So I lower the output, else I get way too many algae.
I give every 2 or 3 days a mix of reef roids and reef energy from RedSea...
Hellpppppp.

Usually I use a sringe with boiling water inside and target it to the base of the thing. It melts and gets destroyed. Always worked.
