not difficult actually.
first thing you got to do is to locate your drainage pipe. mine is a 3 room flat, so the drainage pipe leads into my bathroom. for homes with compressors in balconies, i am quite sure the drainage pipes are located in the balcony itself, near the floor drain.
next thing is to insert the cleaning end of the gravel cleaner into the drainage pipe itself. most likely its not going to be a good fit. get a plastic bag, roll it up into a tube, and wrap it around the entry point (in order to make it more or less airtight).
grip tightly onto the wrapped plastic bag, and use the other hand to start squeezing the air/vacuum pump.
tadaa!!! crap and slime and water should start flowing out in copious amounts.
OR, use a vacuum cleaner and suck out the slime. but that's only applicable if your vacuum can suck in liquids. next time my aircon leaks, im planning to use my 20ft water hose, stick one end in the drainage pipe, and stick the other end into my vacuum cleaner. and start ###### until the waste water reaches the halfway point of the hose. drain and repeat.
hokay....this is as detailed as i can write. hope it helps!

i wanted to create tank that looks like Naxo's
http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/nov2004/aquarium.htm
but then the heat from the lights and chiller was too much to bear. that's why letting go.
anyone interested?

hi guys,
im looking to sell my tank. it measure 2.5 ft X 1.5 ft X 1.5 ft.
actually display area is 1.5ft X 1.5ft X 1.5ft. the back is actually a sump for skimmers, ozonizers, meters, auto top up, etc.
the front pane is diamant, which is a low iron glass similar to starphire. main purpose is to view livestock and corals more vibrantly.
the difference in glass clarity can be seen in this picture.
i had the tank made for about $190 a few months ago. selling at $130.
thanks!

hey guys,
a few nights ago my aircon started to leak quite badly when i was about to sleep, but i didn't want to ask the aircon guy to come and service, because everytime he comes, my money leaves with him.
SO, desperate times calls for desperate measure, and because i was really desperate, i used my cheapo gravel cleaner pump, inserted the suction end into the drainage pipe, wrapped plastic bags around the entry point in order to make it air tight, and started squeezing the red pump like i have a season pass at geylang.
all kinds of disgusting slimy crap started to flow out, and after about 10 minutes of hard pumping, my air con stopped a leaking, and the crap stopped a flowing. you really have to see to believe how much slime and liquid is in the drainage pipe.
anyway, everything is working fine now. i just hope that this can last for awhile.
hope this helps you save some money!

hey kenny,
i was using an ozonizer too, until it broke down awhile back. there hasn't been any problems when i pumped the ozone into my macro 350. maybe you can get a mv controller, which will help keep your water really clear without worrying about overdosing ozone.

mine is kind of oversized. im using a cl650 for an 18 inch cube. the chiller kicks in and out quite often. it cools the tank down really quick, but then the lights and pumps heat it up again.
i know that the chiller draws more power to start up, so its not very efficient for my tank.

just went and saw the tank today....very big man. theres a really nice AT with really large teardrop. but the corals so so only. one of the smaller tanks has quite a few angels and moorish idols, with 1 cynarina skeleton, pick to the bone and shiny white man

http://www.sgreefclub.com/video/MOV02933.MOV
i wonder if there is anymore
-
anyone interested? no reply so far leh.....is the price too high?
-
i think it might be a little hard to feed the fishes and clean the tank. equipments can be placed above the tank, so i guess its not much of a problem. must be careful with salt spray.
-
im not giving up the hobby bros....im actually planning another tank.
anybody interested? its real easy to set up.....no pipings required.
-
thanx man....i took a long time to design it. its just that i didn't anticipate how warm a chiller can get.

hey guys,
im selling my 6 months old tank.
reason for selling is because the heat from the chiller and lights are really warming up the living room.
the tank itself is in great condition, no damage whatsoever.
total dimensions are (L)2.5 feet X (H)20 inches X (W)18 inches.
display dimensions are 18inch X 18inch X 20inch, with an 'attached' 12 inch sump for my equipments (skimmer, pumps, etc).
since i designed it to be viewed from the front, the front panel is made from 12mm diamant glass, and the rest normal 10mm glass.
