  1. Sorry if i confused anyone. 2feet PL lighting is a 2X18W tube. Which gives 36W. 2Sets still available. Pics gotta wait till i get my digicam back
  2. Used for a year. Selling cause upgraded tank. condition 9/10 bought at Clementi 328 for $40. selling at $25 Interested can PM me or for a faster transaction, I'm contactable @ 98586406 Ben This set works without a starter. I'm assuming it is uses an E-ballast. 2 Sets available.
  3. Yup just plugged it in 3 days back. Been cycling my tank with a mkt prawn for bout 2 weeks. got the out sump model... needed some tuning to prevent skimmer from overflowing. hehe... but the bubbles look really fine.
  4. Hi could someone tell me the if this skimmer is sufficient for a 2feet cube? roughly about 220 L. (excluding SB / Live rocks.) can't find the specs for this skimmer.
  5. Adam's got some nice rock. very nice fella too Upzz for you
  6. If its not too much trouble could you post a picture?
  7. Sorry missed out something. Best if MH and T5 timeing can be controlled seperately. else gotta DIY
  8. hmm... which model is this? whats the wattage of the pump?
  9. yep agreed, Bobby's a really hospitable guy. Was eyeing the MH too but 1 step too slow
  10. Hmmm i'm looking for 1. do you have a pic?
  11. Its better to have a quarantine tank(QT) for new fishes. Cos you will never know wat dieases or parasites the new fishes are carrying. Observation can be made in the QT. Usually the quarantine period is abt 2 to 3 weeks the min. Given the time, any illness or parasities would have shown itsels already and proper medication can be used. eg copper which can 't be used in a reef tank. Usually all the medication which are not reef safe are the most effective. Getting the fish to feed in the QT is easier as there is not competition. the set up for the QT should be simple. all you need is a pump\filter and a few PVC for the new to hide when they are stress. No need to put in sand rock etc cos the tank is only temperory
  12. just my 2 cents worth using the heat sink will not lower the temperature temperature of the water (inside your tank) unless of course the temperature of the water is above room temperature (32 degress celcius +- yes that means not putting the heat sink there or the tank without the fan would do more good than putting that heat sink there.) what the heat sink does do is bring the temperature of the tank to your current room temperature at an increased rate. (can't remember which law of thermodynamics but anyway, transfer of energy will flow from the higher temperature to lower temperature) the reason why the water temperature is lower when using a fan blowing directly is because of the energy being transfered away from the water (due to an increased evapouration rate of the water). just a suggestion perhaps is you could try spraying some water on your heat sink and let that evapourate it should bring down the temperature more than when just using the fan. (but you have to keep the heat sink moist all the time don't really think its worth all that trouble anyway )
