    LED Panel

    Thanks, I contacted them and their staff told me that they do have existing stock in office and can entertain small quantity walk-in purchases

    Hi Bro,

    Can advise how much is the constant current driver and how many 3 watts LED it can support? Interested to get a few too.... :)

    <PBO> Algae Scrubber Order - Part 2

    in Bulk Ordering

    Posted

    huh? is it? when was it? before this thread started? I am actually thinking to go down this saturday to confirm the design as I might want to ask them to start 1 pcs 1st for myself...of coz for the 1st pcs, they charge $190...

    So if I manage to get another 9 pcs, they will rebate and charge $115/set. If the deal does not go as plan then i have to get it at $190...

    Yup, I got screwed left, right, centre, up, down, behind and in front. Didn't imply its you, but its some one reading here. You sure about the price?

    Algae Turf Scrubber (ATS)

    in DIY Forum

    Posted

    I had received many PMs inquiring about the ATS we had BO previously. I created this thread to share everything I know or experience in the making and use of the above model designed by SantaMonica but customized to fit the resources we can find locally.

    I understand it is not cheap to make the ATS box and I managed to convince one maker (also a friend) to assist making some samples for about $100 each previously so please do not act smart by taking my invoice/receipt to negotiate with the same maker (I kena screwed for nothing).:angry2::angry2:

    Lightset - Aquazonic 2 x 24w light set

    Can be acquired from Seaview, one of the cheapest I think since they give a further 15% discount.

    Question: Did you get Aquazonic lights because it is the best option?

    Answer: No, we got it because its the cheapest possible. (Touch wood, so far have no problem at all)

    Question: Can I use other lightset?

    Answer: The box is redesigned based on the Aquazonic dimensions. Go figure.

    Can be purchase from:

    32 Ang Mo Kio ind park 2

    Sing Ind complex

    #06-15/16

    0900hrs - 1800hrs mon - fri

    0900hrs - 1300hrs sat

    Below $8 each

    Screen

    I got my screen from Artfriends Takashimaya. It's use for stitching or something, about an A4 size netting. I cut it into half and use both, cleaning one of them every 3-4 days. Just a few dollars.

    Pump

    SantaMonica recommend at least 3000 l/h of flow for this design. I am using Rio HF17.

    PVC Parts

    PVC pipes and end cap can be found in most general hardware stores. The design we use is based on grey PVC, not white (supposedly different)

    PVC connectors like the one below can get from the hardware shop beside the box maker but I suggest you placing an order with your neighborhood HW store.

    Challenges you may face:

    1) Price of ATS box alone is not low, especially if you get it alone. The average quotes I get is between $190 per box. Cheapest about $150 for mass order.

    2) Cutting a straight slit for the outflow - Use Dremel tool or drills a few holes and slowly cut with saw blade (please remember to use all necessary protective equipment such as gloves, eye protection glasses etc),

    3) Getting the right flow - the level the box is place, angle of cuttings on pipes, angle, size of slit, thickness and material of screen, connection size, output speed, algae grow on slits etc can affect the flow.

    Facts

    1) ATS is the only filter I got for my tank, I did not measure the ANN since I didn't get the kits and there hadn't been big algae outbreaks for the last two months. (So those want to know the effectiveness can come help me measure :P)

    2) I do not have the final design/drawing for the ATS box.

    Those want to see how it works can contact me for an open house demonstration, $5 per person :P.

    More pictures of my set

    Is ATS effective? As mentioned above, I do not measure and I won't comment, but SM constantly update this thread with reviews from happy users around the world.

    Also like to specially thank Bro StevenKoh for the help, guidance and trust he had given me in this BO.

    zoas in my tank are pretty weak in colouration. indirect light and low feeding.

    if your tank the opposite of mine and is catered for zoas and can bring back their colours i can pass you a few small colonies.

    OK, all my planned stuff are in. Can try your zoas liao! :groupwavereversed:

    So far all the zoas I got is doing very well in my tank. :)

    Where can I collect em? :ThanxSmiley::ThanxSmiley:

    Just received my TDS meter and ATC refractometer from Peter :)

    TDS from my tap is 65 cheers.gif

    and SG is 1.028... should I minus 0.0015?

    Some strange encounter with my "customized" Crystal Pro 3-stage though. Water didn't fill up the last two callister (water level: Carbon - nearly but not completely full, 1st Resin - about 50% full, last resin - about 1/5 filled), but there are water from the output hose. Suspect a leak somewhere but it doesn't make much sense as the water output is too strong for a leak's wild spray.... anyone encounter this before?

    Purple Tang

    in General Reefkeeping_

    Posted

    Hi guys,

    Previously, if anyone rememebrs, i was lookign for a purple tang.

    anyway, found a lot in CF over the weekend, and managed to buy one for myself, after a long wait!

    had a bit of chat with the auntie while she was packing it as well.

    this is what she told me.

    The water with fishes has copper added to it. The reason is because they will get in to trouble if the fish or water goes into Europe has disease in them. I actually collected water from those tank, and i added a cucumber and starfish. she had to wash the starfish and cucumber and repack them in other water.

    i used to jsut throw everything, including their water into my tank. now i know not to do so. If i had SPS, they will all be gone.

    I hope it doesn't sound like i am bad mouthing CF, but i just want to warn others who are as careless as me to watch out for it.... Best is to get the auntie to catch the fish for you. Which is what she recommend I do next time...

    for Corals, she say it is okay to catch it yourself

    Were you one of the 2 gentlemen with a boy?

    I saw the silicone on the overflow area on the left hand side, is that safe? :shock:

    Errmmm...:poster_oops:

    This is an old tank I bought over from a feefer.... I believe the silicon was there to hold a black acrylic for aesthetic purpose only.... guess it got detached over time and the previous owner didn't paste it back.

    I didn't really bother as my intention of this tank is really a trial my interests in marine as per the topic. Maybe I should try scrapping it out next time when I move my kid's playpen away from the area.....

    Bean bag video :P

    My family fell in love with this PBT from CoralFarm.

    Took a video on my bean bag after releasing it....

    Yellow tang seems a bit too big for my tank. Willing to let go if anyone with bigger tank is interested.
