    [WTS] RED SEA Classic Berlin Turbo Skimmer

    in Sell off/Pasar Malam Shop

    Posted

    Would like to sell the above (used and working) for $180 as it may not be sufficient for my tank.

    Interested party may pm me or contact me via sms @ 93678867 for deal.

    (Yishun Area)

    Features

    · Triple Air Pass increases the contact time between the air bubbles and water, due to the patented "Air Return Skirt".

    · Tangential Water Inlet causes turbulent flow and a swirling motion that increases the mixing action of the water and air bubbles.

    · Removable Collection Cup & Inner Tubes for easy cleaning and maintenance.

    · Optimal Compactness, without compromising the skimming efficiency. Performs as well or better than skimmers twice their size.

    · Efficient Concentration produces highly concentrated waste without unnecessary loss of seawater, removing even the smallest amounts of waste material.

    The Triple Air Pass Technology incorporated into Red Sea Berlin Skimmers` reaction chamber has resulted in a unique, compact and effective design, which concentrates the waste without unnecessary loss of water.

    The traditional venturi injector allows for a massive influx of fine bubbles while creating a turbulent storm in the bottom mixing chamber. This "Classic" venturi driven skimmer can be operated from an external or submersed pump for increased design options. The ozone resistant parts, optional carbon air filter above the collection cup and air return skirt that ensures that no air bubbles return to the aquarium, make these models ideal ozone reactors.

    Dimension

    6 1/2"W x 6 1/2"D x 21"H

    did u put e rock of eggs there jsut to take pics??

    how come u dun let e papa nemo fan his egg??? :pirate:

    Nope...the rock is being place in that internal tank purposely so that when the baby fish hatch, it is easiler for me to catch them... :)

    But if I leave it for papa to fan, it is going to be another failure batch cause those little fry will either be eaten alive or into my sump...

    any update? :lol:

    did they hatch? ;)

    pic pic pic

    Thanks bro for all the advanced tips! And I will definately return with pics. :)

    Regarding my baby nemo.... sadly none survived.... HOW COME?!

    Here is my Diary (petty long and boring...):

    Day 6 Morning:

    About 1/4 of the eggs are missing from the rock. Properly, they have started to hatch or eaten up by the mama due to bad lots?! Anyway, it is still early.

    Day 7 Before Light Off

    I transfer the rock to a mini internal tank and put in a steady 1 bubble per 3 second near the rock, but not too close to the eggs.

    Day 7, 2 hours after Light Off

    Scanning and scanning....nothing moving is found except for those tiny silvery eyes staring at me. Then I use the air pipe and gentle stroke (creating wave) on the surface of the egg just like their mama did...

    (I am also quite surpise to find tentacles extending out from the rock where is eggs are...is this what you call a LIVE rock?? Wonder if it will hurt those eggs?)

    Day 8, another hour...pass midnight

    Scanning and scanning!! Wa La!! Found 1 hatchings struggling at the bottom of my internal tank.

    Day 8 Morning!

    Almost 3/4 of the eggs on the rock are gone! And I am damn expecting to find the at most 1/2 of those baby nemo...BUT!!! I just found 1. (It must be the one which I saw the other day). What happen to the rest, no dead bodies?? Could it be those critters in my LIVE rocks?! Sigh! Well, better than nothing, I transfer out the rock to mama.

    Day 8 Evening

    Nothing was left on the rock... guess must be rejected by it's mama and got clean up by my cleaner shrimp...

    The one and only nemo is still alive and struggling! Start feeding with the rotifer...

    Day 9 Evening

    Progress is good... able to swim properly... Feed again..

    Day 9, 2 hours later

    .... Totally speechless! The internal suckion of my internal tank came loose and sink to the tank bed... and I guess you all know the ending...

    The nemo wonders out and got eaten by my fish....sob sob.... FAILURE AGAIN!!

    Really can't explain the mystery about the missing eggs without the dead body... eaten by those tentacles??

    Please advise me… my Clown fish are spawning again (Started Egg laying on 18 Mar 2007-Sunday) and this will be their 3rd batch. I really do hope that I can raise them from eggs to fry to adult this time.

    So what happen to my last 2 batch? Here is the story, the very first batch (with silvery eyes) I transferred them into a small internal tank within my main tank. (Yes, I separated them from their parent. ) And guess what, the next day, almost all the eggs turned cloudy, which I presumed that some of it has died. Immediately I transferred them back to their parent and hungry my cleaner shrimp ate the remaining survivor… so sad…

    Batch 2: So after some reading from the forum, there is an advice given to leave the eggs alone and to catch the hatched critters when they hatch. And so I did, the next day, most of the hatched fry was either being eaten up, or sucked into my sump…or hidden behind my rocks… Haizz…

    I really want this 3rd batch to survive…any kind reefers can advice me how to hatch them?

    Some more info about my batch 1 failure: Could it be because I did not pump in any oxygen into the small internal tank? But the internal tank was within my main tank, so it should share the same oxygen level, right?...

    Impatient “Father” to be.. :o

    Why my corals are shrinking?

    in General Reefkeeping_

    Posted

    Need some advices from experience reefers... I finished cycled my tank and slowly added some coral (LPS, anemones, branches...) into it...The first few days the corals seem ok to me except that it did not really open up as what I saw in the first fish shop. So I thought that they have not aclimate themselve in my tank.

    A week later, some of my coral starts shrinking in size (dieing...) and some just remain unopened... I have checked all the reading such as PH, PO, NH, NO and all gives promissing results (Except my Nitrates read about 20ppm). Check for Copper and found 0 trace. My Calcium level is arount 550, and am using 2 x 250 MH (10k) light for my 4 x 2 x 2.5(depth) tank. My aquarium chiller is set to cool at about 27 Degree.

    Could it be the high calcium level or too much of light intensity that causes these? My fishes (crown fish) were all right. It is very disappointing to see them fading away...

    :(
